Double Lace Braids Updo

Going to homecoming?! School has started and that means dances! With Homecoming right around the corner I’d thought it’d be great to share a fun formal hairstyle that would be perfect for the occasion.

This style is actually a lot easier to do than it looks so I hope you love it.  If you’re going to homecoming this year and loved this hairstyle then be sure to leave a comment down below and let me know!

Double Lace Braids Updo Instructions:

• Step 1 / Begin by parting the hair where you normally prefer; I’m placing mine on the far right side.
• Step 2 / Divide off a section of hair at the crown, lay the left side over the right and pin it against the head with several bobby pins.
• Step 3 / Now divide the remaining hair into three sections, a left side, right side and a back section.
• Step 4 / Tie the back section into a low ponytail with a clear elastic band and braid it into three strand braid, securing the end with another elastic.
• Step 5 / Pull on the edges of the braid to make it fuller and then wrap it into a bun around the top elastic.
• Step 6 / Slide bobby pins arounds the edges to secure it against the head.
• Step 7 / Now braid the left section of hair into a lace braid bringing in hair along the hairline and working back towards the bun.
• Step 8 / When the last section of hair is brought in, cross the braid over the top of the bun and pin it against the head with a few bobby pins.
• Step 9 / Go back and fan out the braid by pulling slightly on the edges to make it fuller.
• Step 10 / Now create  a second lace braid with the section on the right side; crossing the side strands over the middle and bringing in hair along the hair line until reaching the bun at the back.
• Step 11 / Lay the braid over the top of the bun and slide several bobby pins into the braid to pin it against the head.
• Step 12 / Take the ends from the braids and create small loops at the top of the bun and pin them in place with bobby pins.
