What You Need
- U-pins: The best pins for this style are u-pins because they don’t need to be pulled apart and pushed in like bobby pins, which can be painful or damage your hair. The U-pin only needs to be pinched together, slid in, and then released. When the ends spread out once more, the U-pin remains in position.
- Hair elastic: Consider using the snag-free hair elastics shown in the image. And for the love of all that is holy, never use those rubber bands that come with office supplies; they will ruin your hair by breaking it.
- Paddle or comb out brush: You must remove the tangles and knots in your hair.
- Light hold hair spray: Your bun should stay in place with just a couple of light hold hair spray spritzes.
How to Do a Low Bun Hairstyle?
Follow these steps carefully to make a low-hair bun:
- To the nape of your neck, neatly brush all of your hair back. Simply comb your hair back with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb if you want to go for a textured appearance.
- To create the base of your bun, cinch a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Depending on how low you want your bun to sit, you can place the ponytail either right at the nape of your neck or a few inches above it.
- Add volume to your hair to add a more relaxed vibe to your style: To add volume to the top of your head, tighten your ponytail by separating it so that the hair elastic pushes up. To give your hairstyle even more volume, you also have the option of tease-down the hair at the crown of your head. The person with fine, textured hair may benefit most from this extra step.
- To flip your ponytail into, make a pocket. To create a gap above your ponytail, make a small indentation in the hair there with your fingers, then gradually pull the hair apart. A minimum of a few inches should be the width of your gap. But, do not make it so big that the ponytail under it loosens completely
- To give your ponytail a little bit of a twist, topsy tail it. Put the other side of your ponytail in this opening. Topsy tailing is what is meant by this. Actually, you could stop styling your hair right here because a topsy tail ponytail looks cute enough on its own.
- Divide your topsy-turvy ponytail into three sections, and then begin to braid. Depending on how textured you want your bun to be, divide them equally or vary their sizes.
- You can achieve the extra oomph you desire with a braid. Simply braid these three sections of hair from root to end, and then fasten with an elastic. Your otherwise straightforward hairstyle will gain some femininity and daintiness from this braid. Another alternative here is to go for a fishtail braid if you want to create a more intricate look.If you have
- To topsy tail your braid, begin rolling it up, flipping it over, and tucking it into the pocket you previously made. If your braid is too long, make sure to fold it and then flip it into the pocket so that it does not hang down from the other side.
- Put some hold in your hairdo. A pro tip here is to spray some hair spray onto the bobby pins before inserting them into your hair so that they stick in place and do not slip out. Insert a couple of U-pins into the gap to secure the braid in place.
- Finish off the project. Pull out a few wisps of hair from around your face to give your updo a softer look. Finish by setting the updo in place with a few spritzes of light hold hair spray.
