Anna's bun from the movie Frozen (tutorial)

How many of you have seen Disney's latest animated movie (Frozen?)  We watched it over this past Thanksgiving weekend and loved it.  Of course, beyond the cute story, I couldn't help but notice all of the adorable hairstyles throughout! This particular hairstyle (on Anna) was my daughter's favorite.  And since "our Princess" has pretty much the same reddish brown hair color and length as Anna, we just had to try and re-create this bun!
 
Disney Frozen Hair Tutorial (Anna Coronation)
Trying to create a hairstyle that was originally drawn for an animated character can sometimes be quite challenging.  Human hair tends to have a few more issues than cartoon hair.  ;)  So, keeping that in mind... this is obviously not an exact replica of the original style, but just our interpretation.  Also, Anna has bangs (or fringe) and "our Princess" does not.  If you have bangs, all the better for this particular style!  I think my favorite part of this hairstyle is the darling braided headband placed directly behind her bangs.  Super cute.
