Beribboned hair video tutorial: Braided Chinese bun

I uploaded my first hair tutorial :)! 

-Style: Braided beribboned Chinese bun, seen here

                                     

-Texture: Doable with straight, wavy and curly hair.

-Length: Long enough to braid and wrap around a hairstick.

Beribboned hair: Braids

Continuing from my former post about beribbboned updos, here are some pics of beribboned braids I have tried, also from different stages in my practising timeline :) (click or open in new tab for larger image). I'm planning some short videos showing how I braid ribbons into my hair (there are useful tutorials on YouTube as well), and I found useful help in this Long Hair Community thread (started by me) as well.

• Three-strand braid: The simplest kind of braid to add ribbons to, and the first one I tried (usually with green ribbons at that time)

• Three-strand braid as a half-up:

• French braid: You add the ribbon in the same way you'd do for a three-strand, then you start adding hair from both sides to create the French braid.

• Accent side braids:  Lots of variations are possible (two side braids, more than two  braids, combining different ribbons, tying the accents braids together to form a half-up or letting them hang loose, etc):

Accent side braids with rope-like red ribbons, this style reminds me of Celtic or Elven styles.

 

Same style, but instead of braiding, I crisscrossed the ribbon around the strand (Irish Queen cosplay/Elven cosplay):

-Two accent side-braids with leaf ribbon (and, sporadically, a dark blue ribbon), tied together at the back, for several Elven cosplays (Lúthien Tinúviel, Noldorin Elven lady, Elven ranger):

 

• Multi-braid: Ribbon can be added to accent braids at the sides, which are then braided together with the rest of the hair (see below). Other options include having side braids and adding ribbon to the general braid, instead, or combining different colours, or any variation you come up with, really :)

Beribboned hair: Updos

Lately, I've been favouring parandas, but I also love adding ribbons in my hair, especially for 3-strand or multi-braid styles, and updos.

Here are some of my beribboned updos, from different stages in my practising timeline :) (click or open in new tab for larger image)

I'm planning a short video showing how I braid ribbons into my hair (there are useful tutorials on YouTube as well), and I found useul help in this Long Hair Community thread (started by me) as well.

• Braided bun: I added a long turquoise ribbon to a three-strand braid and bunned it, letting the extra ribbon fall out of the bun as decoration. It reminded me of something a Jane Austen character would wear :)

• Two side braids into a flipped bun

• Braided donut bun with a leaf ribbon

• Braided top knot bun with a green ribbon for a Saint Patrick's Day look:

• Braided Chinese buns (post about the Chinese bun, both simple and braided, will be coming soon)

Tutorial of this last style:
