While there’s nothing wrong with going classic—winged liner, red lips and a good blowout, sometimes a girl needs to get a little more creative. So we enlisted Schwarzkopf Professional stylist Rossa Jurenas to show us how to get the braided scarf bun that we saw at Alice + Olivia Spring 2015. The surprisingly versatile look is super-easy to recreate—you just need to know how to braid!

Browse the gallery below for a step-by-step tutorial.
