Instructions
Sporting a bun hairstyle is very easy and suits almost everyone. This hairstyle is effortlessly chic and dreamy. You can opt for this imperfect hairdo instead of any high fashion hairstyle and still win the bet. The following steps will help you style a bun easily:
1. Clean your hair
There is nothing more pathetic than dirty hair. Before you start the hair styling make sure that your hair is clean. Shampoo and condition your hair properly using products that suit your hair type. You can blow dry your hair if you want to style them quickly or else you can allow them to dry up with time naturally. Applying some serum can add to the shine and texture of the hair making them more manageable.
2. De-tangle the strands
Before you begin with the styling process it is important to first de-tangle the hair. Use a wide teeth comb to remove all tangles and follow it with brushing the hair. Applying some serum before you start de-tangling can help in a major way to do away with the tangles minus any pain.
3. Backcomb
Give some volume to your hair by backcombing the hair gently. You can add requisite amount of lift as per your need as well as the amount that suits your face. Secure the lifts with bobby pins. You can also use a volume boosting hair spray to increase the hair volume.
4. Style the hair
You can easily style your hair into a stunning bun in no time. All you have to do is to let your imagination run wild and style your hair accordingly. After adding the requisite amount of lift to the hair you will need to part the hair in sections. The sections above the ear need to be pulled back and twisted together at the center of the head using pins. You can use some hair spray if you find your hair highly unmanageable. Loop the rest of the hair under and secure it using pins near the neckâs nape. Use hairspray again to set the bun. Girls with curly of wavy hair can allow the natural texture of their hair shine out in this hairstyle. Leaving some hair out of the bun can give you a romantic chilled out look.
5. Accessorize
Accessorizing is one way of adding glam to the bun look. A fresh flower pinned with the bun can give you a fresh look. Flowers can increase the appeal many times. Other accessories like pins, tic-tac clips, etc can also be used to add grace. Make sure your accessories go well with your attire.
