Easy Prom Updos Step By Step: Braided Updo Hairstyle /Via

The braided bun prom hairstyle holds up nicely throughout the day. All the hair is pulled away for the face, so create you a cool look. The braided look is chic and can work well on both long and mid-length hair with no layers since the layers may ruin the smoothness and fineness of the braided bun.
Back comb the top section of your hair. Brush and tie back into a high ponytail.
Split the ponytail into two equal sections.
Braid each section and fix the hair ends with a thin hair band.
Cross the two braids, and wrap around the base of the bun.
Secure in place with a bobby pin. Finish with some hairspray to hold in place.
