If you are dressed for success for your special Sweet Sixteen birthday and you want the perfect up-do, try making one yourself. This can save you time while you are making all your preparations and money you would normally spend at the salon. Try wearing a bun at the nape of your neck or high up on your head that will show off your neck and can be the perfect accessory to your outfit.
Before Bunning
Once you have your style picked out, there is a little preparation. Avoid washing your hair 24 hours before you start styling. The natural oils in your hair and your scalp are helpful in creating and securing your hairstyle. If you have to wash your hair, make sure your hair is completely dry before you begin to style it. Dry your hair with a blow dryer on a low setting. Aim the nozzle of the dryer downward on your hair shaft. This will help prevent frizz. You may want to use a hair-straightening iron afterward to make your hair sleek.
Have some bobby pins and elastic bands on hand for your up-do. Don't use regular rubber bands as these can pull and tug on your hair.
The Messy Bun
This may sound like an untidy pastry dish, but actually it's an untidy bun style. The look can be described as "roll out of bed and pile your hair on your head." But don't be mislead by its name, this 'do will provide free-flowing tendrils that will frame your face.
You'll have to dirty your hair up a bit. Natural oils from your scalp and even some hair products can help you create your bun. Apply a store-bought hair serum or make your own by mixing one part sea salt with three parts water and a bit of leave-in conditioner in a spray bottle.
After you apply your product, pull your hair straight up toward the ceiling. Twist your hair down to a few inches above the crown of your head. Wrap your hair around itself until a loose bun forms on the top of your head, and use bobby pins to pin the bun in place. This may take up to 10 pins depending on the length and thickness of your hair. The bun should be loose but securely fastened. Leave a few loose strands of hair free.
The Red Carpet Bun
Start by combing all of your hair slickly into a tight ponytail at the nape of your neck. Save a quarter of the hair in your ponytail and pull it aside. Loop this section through the hair tie in the direction of the ponytail, which should create two little loops. Next, take the large section of hair and wrap around the top and thread through both loops. Sleek any flyaway hairs with hair spray. According to bellasugar.com, celebrity Angelina Jolie wore an up-do to a movie premier that looks like two buns in one.
The Princess Bun
Begin by pulling your mane into a regular ponytail and placing a 1-inch ribbon an inch or 2 above the end of your ponytail. Fold your ends upward and over the ribbon and secure with a rubber band. Now start rolling everything upward toward the top of your ponytail. Take the ends of the ribbon and tie them into a bow. Secure your hair with bobby pins. Your hair will look like a doughnut shape with a ribbon coming out of the middle. This is referred to as the Cinderella hairstyle by princesshairstyles.com.
