A bun is a simple way to wear your hair and look dressed up. There are many types of buns, from classic to elegant to messy. Your hair type, where you're going and what outfit you'll be wearing will determine which type of bun is right for your hair. A classic bun is the most common and quickest type of bun to style.
Classic Bun
For a classic bun, you will need a ponytail holder and some bobby pins. Pull all of your hair back into a ponytail and use an elastic band to hold it in place, if desired. If you have some short pieces of hair, you may want to dampen your hair after putting it in the ponytail. For a slicked-back look, wet your entire head before putting hair into a ponytail.
Tightly twist the entire length of the ponytail. To begin creating the bun, wrap the twist around itself. When you come to the end, tuck the end under the outside coil and secure with a bobby pin. Use a few more bobby pins around the base of the bun to hold it in place. Tame any loose pieces of hair by tucking them into the bun and securing them with hair spray or bobby pins.
You can also use a hair stick--available where hair accessories are sold--to hold the bun in place. If using a hair stick, begin the bun the same way. When you are finished wrapping the twist around itself, hold the bun in place with one hand and push a hair stick into the outside coil of the bun with your other hand. Do this carefully, allowing the tip of the hair stick to just touch your head before coming out the other side of the bun. To hold the bun securely, it is recommended that you use another hair stick poked through the bun on the opposite side, creating an X. If you notice some shorter pieces of hair falling out after the bun is in place, use bobby pins to secure them.
Tips
Classic buns are easy to make, but can still have a bit of flair. Give your bun personality by braiding the ponytail before twisting it into a bun. Adding accessories will also give it a more creative look. Hair sticks come in many designs, with such things as beads and crystals added. Elastic ponytail holders come in a variety of colors and designs as well. Dress up your bun and match the accessories to your outfit.
If you want a more intricate bun you can find all sorts of bun styles in fashion and beauty magazines, which often include step-by-step instructions for each style.
