Steps
Making a Bun from Hair Loop
- Brush your hair out to make it detangled (wash it for better results).
- Put your hair in a bun the size of an apple (depends on how long your hair is).
- Twist the rest around the bun until the last strand of hair (hide the wrapping a little).
- Tuck the tip of your hair in your hair tie (you could just put another hair band on to support your overall look in general).
- Finished
Making a Bun from Ponytail
- Lightly gel up the tips and middle section of your hair. This helps the strands stick together and keep your bun from collapsing.
- Put your hair in a ponytail.
- Place your hand where the ponytail holder is up on your head. This secures it in place.
- Take your other hand and twist the ponytail until it twirls up against your head.
- Secure it with a hair tie.
- Lightly gel up the edges near the hair tie with gel.
- Carefully pull out small strands of hair. You may set the look with hairspray.
- Finished.
Tips
- Avoid taking out too much, this will cause the bun to fall.
- Go easy on the hairspray and gel. It will be very hard to get out when you want to take a shower or go to bed.
- If you want a messy bun,the messy part will come if you stick your fingers in the bun, move them around, then take them out.
- Brush your hair really well (so if you run your fingers through it isn't tangled) before you start the bun.
- Get a good tie to hold your overall look.
Warnings
- Get a thick hair band to hold all of your hair.
