The Hair Studio- Practical Week 3- Creating and Styling a Bun

This week, after previously learning the basics of washing and blow drying the hair, we moved onto to creating buns and plaits.  This style of bun is creating without using any kind of hair tool, such as a donut, so looks a lot more natural and elegant. 



 1.  The first step to creating a bun is pulling all the hair back into a tight, neat ponytail.  Using a comb, or a brush will help you achieve the smoothness, but to ensure that the hair is extra neat, spilt the hair into two sections...pulling the top section into a ponytail first, then pull the bottom section up.  This way, you can focus on getting each section precisely how you want it, without too much hair to handle. 

2.  After this, split the hair in the ponytail into four equal sections.  Place each section into a pin curl, curling away from the head, secure it with a kirby grip. If the hair is thin, backcomb the hair lightly. 

3.  Once you've got each pin curl how you like, start pulling each pin curl round with a hair pin to create a smooth, round shape without any gaps.  Secure this lightly with the pins.



4. Finally the last step is to set the hair, set with a little hairspray if needed.
