Hair bun: how to make it yourself? Video

Hair bun: hairstyle options
Everyday hairstyles with bun
Comb your hair thoroughly and pull it into a ponytail at the back of your head with an elastic band. Wrap your hair several times around the elastic and secure with hairpins. The gulka is ready. Despite its simplicity, this hairstyle is quite versatile. With such a bun, you can go to a business meeting, and go for a walk with a child, and to the beach, and to meet with friends in a cafe, and to work out in a sports club.
Long-haired girls can first braid the ponytail into a braid, then wrap it around the elastic and secure with hairpins.
Curly and laddered hair when twisted into a bun can look untidy. In this case, you need to use styling products: mousses, gels and hair styling foams. The finished hairstyle should be sprinkled with varnish so that individual strands do not knock out of it.
For young ladies, the option with two symmetrical beams is suitable for school. The hair needs to be combed and divided into an even parting in the center of the head. Each part is collected in a tail with an elastic band, folded into a bun and secured with hairpins. The bases of the bundles can be placed at the bottom, on the sides of the back of the head, or you can comb the hair up and collect it above the ears. In this case, you get a flirty version, reminiscent of cat ears. This hairstyle can be decorated with bright bows or hairpins.
Evening hairstyles with a bun
An evening-style bun is usually a tall hairstyle with a lot of volume. Comb your hair thoroughly and gather in a ponytail at the crown of your head.
Additional volume can be achieved in several ways:
- Hair can be combed at the base of the tail, and then rolled into a bun without tightening too much, and secured with hairpins. In order for such a hairstyle to hold better, it must be fixed with varnish.
- Purchase a curvy bun attachment. It is a “donut” made of spongy material, the color of which should match the shade of your curls. Put the donut on the ponytail, wrap your hair gently around it and secure the bun with hairpins.
- In complex evening and wedding hairstyles with a bun, hairpieces and false strands are often used to add volume.
Elegant hairstyles with a bun are often decorated with various hair accessories: hairpins, headbands with flowers, bows and rhinestones
You can decorate a tall, retro bun by tying a bright scarf or wide ribbon around it.
