Hair Styling 101 - The Bun

Hair Styling - The Bun

The bun is a classic updo, but adding a twist makes all the difference.

Method:

  • Apply anti-frizz cream to damp strands and blow dry straight.
  • Pull hair into a high ponytail, secure with an elastic.
  • Brush for a neater effect or finger rake your hair back for a casual effect, into a ponytail at the nape of your neck.
  • Secure it with a covered band.
  • Twist the tail until the hair begins to stiffen and recoil on itself.
  • If you are after a messy finish to your bun, pull a few pieces out at this stage from close to the ends of the ponytail so that the pieces are not too long.
  • Wrap the tail around on itself in the nape to form the bun.
  • Secure the end by poking it under the original covered band and then securing with a hairpin or grip.

 Tip Using Back-Combing:

If your bun always slides down or drops out, try a little back-combing underneath where you want it to sit before you begin. This will give your hair grips or hair pins something to hold onto.
