"Kirsten Dunst&amp;amp;#8217;s textured braid is totally elegant yet casual enough for summer days. Our Accessories Editor, Lauren Tardanico Vreeland, wanted in on the prettiness. The Inspiration Step 1: Prep hair with product for texture. Your hair should have a slightly rough, thick texture to start. Bumble and Bumble stylist Allen Wood hand-dried Lauren&amp;amp;#8217;s hair with Surf Spray and then White Hair Powder to give it a roughed up texture with lots of grip. Step 2: Backcomb hair for volume. Create an exaggerated side part then backcomb crown for a bit of added volume. Step 3: Braid front section. Isolate large section of hair on the thick side of the part and braid into a traditional 3-strand braid all the way down to the ends. Use a clear or matching elastic to secure. Gently use fingers to pull braid apart so that it&amp;amp;#8217;s wider. Rub braid with palm of hand to create a little bit of fuzziness. Step 4: Pull rest of hair into a low ponytail. Pull hair into a ponytail by the nape of the neck, securing with a bungee hair-tie. Keep ponytail slightly loose in order to preserve volume. Backcomb length of ponytail for added fullness. Step 5: Pin ponytail into a chignon. Wrap ponytail into a chignon, securing with hairpins. Push the feet of the hairpin up through the edge of the bun and then jackknife the hairpin back down, towards the center of the bun to anchor securely. Step 6: Tuck braid into the chignon. Tuck the tail of the braid into the chignon, securing with a bobby pin. Fine tune hair with fingers and use hairspray allover to set. Wood used Bumble and Bumble&amp;amp;#8217;s Does It All Styling Spray on Lauren&amp;amp;#8217;s hair. The Final Look: Lauren says: &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m in love! I&amp;#x27;d totally try this braid on a weekend when I could leave it in all day and wear it out at night.&amp;amp;#8221; Do you like this hairstyle, ladies? Have you tried it before?
