Why this worksA hair bun elevates your style while keeping hair off your neck on brisk days. This updo is not only practical but also adds a touch of sophistication to your outfit, making it ideal for October outings.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Gather Your Hair Start by brushing your hair to remove any knots. Gather all your hair at the crown of your head and secure it with a hair tie. This will be the base of your bun.
  2. Twist and Wrap Twist the gathered hair around the base of the ponytail to form a bun. Ensure the twist is tight enough to hold but not so tight that it pulls on your hair.
  3. Secure the Bun Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place. Insert the pins at different angles to keep the bun from shifting throughout the day.
  4. Finish with Hairspray Lightly mist your bun with a flexible hold hairspray to keep it in place. This will also help control any flyaways.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is making the bun too loose, which can lead to it falling apart. Overloading on hairspray can also weigh down the bun and make it look stiff. Lastly, not using enough bobby pins can leave your bun unstable.

The pro moveFor added texture and volume, try lightly teasing the ponytail before twisting it into a bun.
