This is a very cute looking style, and quite easy to do. It is also a very secure style when done with sticks, however you can secure it with a comb or even tiny claw clips as well. I opted for the latter to make things stand out better.
The first thing to do is make a low braid and tie off the end. Now place your hands right above the tail and part the hair in the center, creating a little tunnel going through the hair. Now flip your head forward so the braid goes up and carefully tuck the entire length of the braid through the hole. Bring it up yet again and guide it through once more.
How many times you have to do this depends on the length of your hair. I don't know what the limit of this will be though, you'll have to see what is possible.
The tassel of the braid you can tuck in the left and right of the center hair beside the bun part. Secure the bun using two or three claw clips, making sure the ends cannot flip out of their confinement.
Here is a picture of this updo on myself:
Good luck!
Observances
You will have to find out whether or not you can leave the tassel tie in place. I find that for me it is easier to keep it on the braid end, since it helps secure the updo, but of course without one is definitely preferred.
