Fix Hair Into Big Top Of Head Bun

It's easy to create a tight ballerina bun on top of your head.

Whether you want a somewhat "messy" bun that doesn't look too formal or a perfectly styled ballerina-type bun, both styles are easy to do yourself. Buns are a great choice for days when you simply don't want to put a lot of effort into a hairstyle. They look great for daytime tasks like school or work, or for a night out on the town.

Instructions

Messy Bun

1. Section off the front part of your hair and sweep to one side. This will create volume on your crown. Brush hair back using your fingers and a hair brush.

2. Secure your hair in a loose ponytail on top of your head. Pull the hair through the elastic, pushing it forward slightly to create more volume in the front of your hair.

3. Curl sections of your ponytail to create loose waves.

4. Secure the sections of your hair using bobby pins along your scalp. Vary where you pin your hair to create an unbalanced, messy bun.

Ballerina Bun

5. Dampen hair with water using a spray bottle.

6. Pull hair back and apply a small amount of gel. Pull hair into a high ponytail with a hair elastic, using a brush to smooth hair as you pull it back.

7. Twist the pony tail and shape it into a tight coil. Use hair pins to secure hair by sliding them from the outer part of the hair into the bottom of the bun.

8. Apply hair spray to make sure the bun and strands of hair stay in place.
