Why this worksBuns are not only practical for keeping hair off your neck but also versatile for any occasion. The updo creates a polished look while allowing you to show off your accessories or makeup. Plus, it’s a quick way to manage frizz or unruly strands as the weather changes.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is slightly wavy or textured, that’s perfect for added volume. You can also use a texturising spray for extra grip.
  2. Gather Your Hair Pull your hair back into a loose ponytail at your desired height. For a more relaxed look, don’t worry about making it too tight.
  3. Twist and Wrap Twist the ponytail around itself to form a bun. Secure it with hair ties or bobby pins, depending on how secure you want it.
  4. Finish with Style Gently pull at the bun to loosen it for a softer look. You can also leave out a few strands in the front for a more casual vibe.
  5. Secure the Look Use a light hairspray to keep your bun in place, especially if you’re heading out into the wind. This will help maintain your style throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is creating the bun too tight, which can lead to discomfort. Another is not securing the bun properly, causing it to fall apart. Finally, using too much product can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy.

The pro moveFor added flair, try incorporating a decorative hairpin or scarf into your bun.
