How to Do a Bun Hairdo

Things Needed

Comb
Coated Elastic Band
Bobby Pins
Styling Gel
Hair Spray
Hair Accessories, if desired

Instructions

Comb your hair and remove any tangles.
Now, gather hair together at the level where you want your hair bun to be placed.
Making use of a coated elastic band, secure the hair into a ponytail.
Separate your ponytail into two equal sections.
Take one of the sections in your hand and start twisting the loose hair, until you arrive at the ends.
Wrap the twisted section around the area where the elastic band holds your hair together.
Now is the time to secure the wrapped hair. Take bobby pins and slide them into as well as underneath, the twisted section.
While using the pins, make sure that they are enough to hold the hair and are not visible to the naked eye.
Now take the remaining section of hair in your hand and again, twist it till you reach the ends.
Wrap the twisted section around the first section. Again, make sure to secure the hair with bobby pins, the same way as you did before.
Always try to keep the hair as close to your head as possible. This makes sure that the bun is round and smooth, not poking out from head.
Any hair strands that have fallen loose from the bun should be smoothed back with the help of styling gel.
Take some styling gel on your fingers, apply it on the loose strands and put them into place.
Now, shake your head gently and make sure that the bun is not loose. If you feel that it is, use some more bobby pins to secure it.
Lightly use hair spray, to ensure that the hair keeps in place.
If you are going for a wedding or a party, you can use hair accessories, to style up the bun hairdo a little.
