In a world where there’s no room for slow and steady, the fast and furious gets you places. Even beauty routines are experiencing a rapid makeover! Twisty bump is one such hairstyle meant for the modern day women who has little time on her hands, but still wants to turn heads. Give a break to the same old ponytails and buns and add a refreshing and stylish twist to your hairstyle, without burning a hole in your pocket or killing much of your precious time. Here are five simple twisty bump hairstyles that hit the perfect balance between chicness and comfort.

Steps

The Twisty Bump Ponytail

  1. Brush-Your-Hair. Brush gently to remove all tangles. Part your hair as usual. The fewer tangles in your hair, the neater the look turns out.
  2. Twist a small front section of hair. Take one very small section of your hair from the front, near your hairline. Twist it three times. As you do this, bring it back toward the crown of your head.
    • If your hair has trouble with volume, grab a larger chunk of hair instead. Tease-Your-Hair up with a teasing comb and hairspray. Lightly twist the end once and pin it down.
  3. Push forward to create a bump. Push it slightly forward to create a small bump, about 1–2 inches (2.5–5cm) high. Pin this section to the crown of your head.
  4. Make a ponytail. Make a ponytail out of the remaining hair. Secure it with a hair tie near the nape of your neck.
  5. Wrap the ponytail with another lock of hair (optional). Take a lock of hair from under the ponytail and wrap it around the 'tail, covering the hair tie. Bobby pin it in place. This looks really cute with a bump in front.
    • This works best with a high ponytail.
  6. Apply hairspray on the twisty bump. To ensure that your twisty bump stays in place, secure it with hairspray. Enjoy your new, bouffant look.

The Twisty Bump Chignon

  1. Brush out all tangles. Get rid of all knots before you continue.
  2. Make the twisty bump. Grasp a small section of hair close to your hair line. Twist it three times. Bring it up to the crown of your head and push forward slightly to make a bump. Secure this to your crown with bobby pins.
  3. Form a side ponytail. Gather the rest of your hair to one side and make a low side ponytail, securing it with a hair tie.
  4. Twist the ponytail to make a side chignon. Firmly hold the ponytail and twist it around to form a Do-a-Chignon-Hair-Style. Secure it with plenty of bobby pins.
  5. Secure with hairspray. Spray over the chignon as well as the twisty bump.

The Twisty Bump Braid

  1. Brush your hair back. Gather your hair in the back and brush it all behind you.
  2. Twist a bump of hair. As with all twist bump hairstyles, begin with a small lock of hair near your hairline. Twist three times, push forward to give it a slight poof, and pin this against your crown.
  3. Braid your hair. Plait the rest of your hair into a classic French braid and secure it with a hair tie. Hairspray over the twisty bump when you're finished.

The Twisty Bump Bun

  1. Brush without parting your hair. Remove the knots in your hair by brushing it backwards, preferably without creating any parting. This will give you the perfect slicked-back look.
  2. Form a twisty bump. Twist a section of hair three times and push it forward to create a little bump. Pull it up and secure it with a bobby pin.
  3. Throw your hair into a semi-high ponytail. Pull your remaining hair into a semi-high ponytail at the back of your head and secure it with a hair tie.
  4. Twist the ponytail to create a bun. Roll the ponytail around repeatedly to create a bun. Use bobby pins to keep it in place.
    • To prolong the style, spray the bun and the twisty bump with hairspray.

The Twisty Bump Half-Up Half-Down

  1. Create your twisty bump. After brushing and parting as usual, choose a section of hair close to your hairline. Twist three times, push to create a bump, and pin it against your crown.
  2. Add the half-up, half-down look. Take one small section of your hair from the right side, and pin it to the midsection on your hair. Take another section of your hair from the left side, and pin it over the right section of your hair.
  3. Secure the twisty bump with hairspray. This will set the shape of the twisty bump.

Things You’ll Need

  • Hair ties

Tips

  • If you can't get enough volume with the basic method, Tease-Your-Hair your lock of hair first before twisting it. After teasing, just twist once or twice, then pin.
  • Dress up your hairstyle with fun accessories like bow hair ties (for the ponytail and braid) and hair clips (for the chignon and bun).
  • If your hair is thick, you may need more bobby pins (and more hairspray) to keep your hair in place.
