I'm all about simple hairstyles these days. I mean, there is really no point in even curling your hair here in Missouri unless you're staying inside for the whole day. Curls + humidity do not = awesome. 
Step 1: Take a small section of hair on one side of your head and braid. Step 2: Underneath the braid, take another section of hair and twist. Repeat on the other side. Step 3: Gather the braids and the twists at the back of your head and secure with a pony tail holder. Steps 4-6: Take the hair that is left down and tuck it into the smaller braids. Secure with bobby pins if necessary. My hair was too long for a simple tuck, so I braided the back before I tucked! xoxo. Katie

It’s such a beautiful hairstyle, and I love your hair so much. I love adding a couple of braids to simple hairstyles, they always look better. I can’t wait to try this style out, it’s perfect 🙂

Such a pretty style. Hair is not my thing, but this looks easy enough for even me to do – great video!
Oh pretty, I can’t wait to try! I tend to be a dunce with hairstyles because my hair is naturally thin, but I’ll give it a go and see how it turns out! Thanks as always for these lovely tutorials!

Oh I absolutely love this, Katie has the DREAM HAIR.
http://www.helloterriowe.com
This is great!
My hair is at a super-awkward length at the moment and I thought that I could spend my time braiding it. Well, surprise! I have the kind of hair that only gets thin at the ends when it’s really, really, really long, so all my braids look fat and awkward and aren’t long enough to go around my head. (I even learned how to dutch braid, fishtail braid, unicorn braid, french braid!) This is a great way I can use my braids! Thanks so much!
I have got to try this! So cute!

How great! I can’t wait for my hair to grow so I can try this!
It was lovely meeting you ladies this weekend!
If I follow these instructions, will by hair turn a gorgeous red color like yours too? I love these tutorials but I still can never seem to make my hair look as great as your pictures 🙁
This is so adorable, I will try it out! I love the colour of your hair too!

I love this. Your instructions are really clear. Definitely going to give it a try.
If only I could get my hair to cooperate! I have very curly hair and can’t get it to do anything hahaha. I will definitely try to get this to work though. It’s a very cute hairstyle! 🙂
Stunning! I love hairstyles that look effortless.

Cute style. I’m a fan of letting the humidity accentuate my natural curl. Although it can get a little out of control sometimes 🙂
http://www.fullbellywornsoles.com
That looked so easy! Definitely trying that tomorrow 🙂
Really fast and amazing results : )
looks amazing, I’m definitely going to do this tomorrow morning! xx

Thank you for the video! This is so helpful.
I love this hairstyle ! i’ll try maybe !!
nice video btw <3
Hurray for the video tutorial! It makes it easier to follow 🙂
I love the look, and in theory it’s quite simple, but I have a feeling this won’t hold up well in my super-thick hair :-/
Looks so nice, my hair is now long enough for me to try this out! Love your hair colour!
I love it!
Adorable! The video is absolute perfection 🙂

You are so right about the heat and curls. I was born in KCMO and I HATED brushing my hair because it would get all curled and tangly and my dad didn’t understand why I would scream my head off 🙂 Love this look! I can’t wait to (try) to recreate it on me!
Goodness, way to make this look easy! I absolutely LOVE braids, so I’m totally into finding new ways to wear them 🙂

Thanks for the tutorial, Katie! Your hairstyle looks so pretty. I’m not sure if I’d manage the last part of pinning the remaining hair in a bun as easily though!!
Love this boho style braid! I will certainly give it a try soon!

Katie! So elegant and so easy!! Thanks for the video, it really makes it much easier to see how you did it. I don’t think my hair is long enough right now but I’ll pin it for future use! 🙂
LOVE this hairstyle!! Super cute! Thanks for sharing!
Can’t wait for my hair to get longer so i can try this!! so pretty (:
Even with the instruction I feel like I would mess this up. It’s lovely though.
This looks so great – love this hairstyle!

That is such a cute video tutorial! I love how simple this hairstyle is and how the braids add a pretty touch to the entire thing. Can’t wait to try it out!
Such a cute hair style for humid VA! And I love the tip for longer hair. Thanks! 🙂
I love it and will try it tomorrow! thanks 🙂
Gorgeous! Your hair is an amazing color in the photos too, I’ll definitely have to try this out for my friend’s wedding! 🙂
Have already tried this twice and love how easy it is! Not quite as perfect as Katie’s but hopefully I will have it down by my holiday in October so I can give the hair straighteners a rest 🙂 V x
I’m definitely trying this! I’m not the best at styling girly updos, but I think I might be able to do this one!
This is awesome! I have to try this! 🙂
I did braids today! Pretty hair and pretty lady!
absolutely loveeee this! Will have to try it. Seems like it takes no time at all but looks like it did!
xo Your Daily Break
Adorable, Katie! You make it look so easy I think I will try it!
Thank you very much for posting this tutorial. I am not the best at doing hair and when I tried this, it was even doable for me! Thank you-this is my new go-to hair style. (:
Can’t wait to try this hairstyle! Thanks for the beautiful idea!
Loved The hair style< simple and elegant!! http:www.braziltech.co/
I’ve got such fine hair that I never really attempt complex hair styles. They always fall. But this one is too cute to pass up. Hope it holds!
This looks so pretty and easy! Do you reckon this will work with longer hair too, if I braid it?
SO cute! I have to try this! Especially cute in your red hair, Katie!
I love this! I have curly hair and there is lots of humidity here in Sydney too, so I can relate! I love simply styles like this! I’ll be trying this one over the weekend, too.
I think I’m going to try this. Tomorrow 🙂
How beautiful!! Thank you for posting this tutorial…I love easy hairdos that are quick and look amazing! It looks especially good on your hair color!
Wow! Thanks for the video – it helped so much!
Really cute and perfect for summer 🙂
Can I just say, I love your hair! It always looks so cute and the color is great 🙂 And, I’m going to have to try this hair tutorial this week – I think it would be perfect for work, and easy to do during my rushed mornings. Thanks Katie!
Now you need to do ALL of your hair tutorials as videos!!!
I wore my hair like this today and received so many lovely compliments. My hair is super straight and fine so I had to secure it with Bobbie pins. So cute and so fancy.
I was wondering that if you are a proffessinal hair dresser? How beautiful!
I’m totally shocked to report that this actually works! I am a dunce when it comes to hair, and was very skeptical about this working, but alas, it did! The one thing I will say is that the braids have to be tied pretty tightly in order for them to actually hold the rest of the hair once it’s folded in. So excited to have an easy but fancy-looking hairstyle for everyday, I can definitely see this becoming a staple. Thanks Katie & E+E! ♥
I love how incredibly easy this is!
I love this chignon! Now I do it almost everyday 🙂 Kisses from Galicia (Spain) and sorry for my english!
Thank you for this great idea!
I love this up-do. I always need new ways to fix may hair fast without just throwing it in a bun. The video tutorial was extremely helpful. It’s simple enough to wear with a t-shirt but cute enough to wear with a dress. LOVE IT!
