  9. We wrap each braid around our bun and secure it with hairpins or bobby pins.
  10. We carefully correct all flaws.
  11. Want to create a tight bun using a donut bun? Spray it with varnish. For artistic chaos, loosen some strands with a pencil or other thin tool.

The styling is ready!

You can create a hair bun a little differently. You will need the same materials, but the procedure will look different.

How to do:

  1. We comb our hair and collect it in a high ponytail.
  2. Raises the tail up and inserts its tip into our donut.
  3. We begin to turn the donut out until it reaches the base of the tail.
  4. We correct imperfections in the form of gaps or strands overlapping each other.
  5. We fix the styling with hairpins and varnish.

This is a great way to gather medium length strands into a bun.

Step 1. Comb your hair and collect it in a ponytail.

Step 2. Place a donut or sock on the base of the tail.

Step 3. Separate a not very thick strand, comb it with a thick comb to achieve maximum smoothness. You can use mousse, foam or gel.

Step 4. Wrap the strand around the sock, carefully tucking the ends inward (under the base of the sock). We secure everything with invisible.

Step 5. Repeat the same procedure with the rest of the hair.

Step 6. From the middle strand we form a flower. Fix the bun with varnish.

Option 4

How to style with a donut for an evening out? Nothing could be easier!

  1. Comb your hair and gather it into a ponytail.
  2. We put the roller on the base of the ponytail.
  3. We distribute the hair around the donut and smooth it on all sides.
  4. We put a thin elastic band on top.
  5. We divide the remaining strands into two equal parts.
  6. We braid one of them, wrap it around the corresponding side and secure it with a bobby pin.
  7. From the second part we make a bow. We divide the strand into three parts. We lightly comb the outer hair and twist it into a ring. We secure it with a bobby pin in the middle and straighten it out.
  8. We braid the middle part and wrap it around the other side of the bun. We fix it with an invisible pin or a hairpin.
  9. Spray your hair with hairspray and decorate it with rhinestones or beautiful hairpins.

1. Comb your hair and gather it into a ponytail in the place where the bun will be located.

2. We pass the end of the ponytail into the hole of the hairpin and wrap the hair upwards to the very base.

3. Place the hairpin horizontally and bend it so as to completely cover the base of the ponytail.

4. Distribute the mane around the twister. The hairstyle is ready!

Heagami for stylish buns

Heags are a device made of two plates, fastened on only one side. Using this device, you can easily gather your hair into a bun.

  2. We clamp the ends between the plates.
  3. We rotate the hairpin, dragging the entire hair along with it, to the very base of the tail.
  4. We bring the ends together with heagami.

A bun with heags is not as fluffy, but more natural. It also does not weigh down the hair, which will certainly be appreciated by those with long and thick manes.

This concludes the theoretical part of our master class. It's time to start the practical section. Good luck with your looks and beautiful buns!

Not having long enough hair is not a reason to deny yourself elegant buns. There are many options for this hairstyle, for which medium length is also suitable, for example, an easy-to-make Gibson roller bun.


Advice: With this hairstyle you can correct a round face shape. To do this, the hair high on the crown is combed to give volume, and the side strands are curled and left loose. Elongated lines make the face visually narrower.

A voluminous bun is perhaps the most fashionable hairstyle for long hair for the warm season. Democratic, playful, versatile and incredibly stylish, a bun is just the kind of hairstyle that is very easy to do yourself.

Today we will show you how to make a bun hairstyle using an elastic band, a donut and a sock; how to decorate a messy bun, giving the image originality.

We will tell you in this article how to do your own hairstyle so that the final look is as if you just left the salon.

- this is exactly the case when your inability to manage long hair will only benefit the matter. After all, the more careless the bun looks, the more reckless and romantic your image will be.

Let's take a look 3 ways to make a voluminous hair bun. And we will start with the simplest method, which does not require anything other than a hair tie.

1. A messy bun with an elastic band (messybun)

In order for the result to be a real voluminous, careless bun, the hair should not be combed with special care, much less straightened with an iron first.

Spray the roots over the entire surface of the head with medium hold hairspray.

Then gather your hair into a high ponytail. No elastic band yet, just holding them with one hand.

After this, throw the elastic band over your hair and pull only a small part of the length through it to form a “loop.”

Holding the loop with one hand, wrap the ends of your hair around its base with the other.

Then pull the elastic band over the resulting bun, thereby securing both the ends and the “loop” itself.

Now all that remains for you is to finalize your bun by pulling up the strands where necessary and tucking the ends of your hair under an elastic band.

If necessary, you can secure loose curls with bobby pins or hairpins, however, it is the careless version of the bun that creates “artistic chaos” on the head.

The result can also be fixed with varnish to extend the life of your bun.

2. Volume bun using a sock

Before making a bun of hair, it is necessary to make an auxiliary tool - a torus, a “donut”, a “doughnut” - which will serve as an elastic and durable basis for further hairstyles for long hair.

You will need one unnecessary thick sock or pair. The socks are folded together and the toe part is cut off. It turns out to be a kind of pipe.

Then you need to put both socks on your hand - one on top of the other - and begin to gradually roll them into a “donut”.

Unlike the previous example, when making a hair bun using a homemade “donut”, the hair must be combed very carefully and tied into a tight high ponytail.

Then you should put the “donut” on the tail. Make sure all the hair goes through it.

After this, carefully pull the “donut” almost to the ends of the hair, leaving about 10 cm of length free.

The next step in creating a hair bun is the most important. The final look of the hairstyle depends on it. The loose ends of the hair must be tucked very carefully and evenly under the bottom of the “donut”.

After all the ends are evenly tucked, begin to gradually roll the “donut” to the base of the tail, as if turning it outward along with the hair.

When the donut reaches the base of the ponytail, make sure that it is not visible anywhere through the hair. Straighten the strands as needed, hiding it and giving the bun the shape of a perfect torus.

Now you need to hide the ends of your hair and stray strands under the resulting bun. Very long curls can be wrapped around its base.

Unlike the messy bun hairstyle, this hairstyle for long hair requires greater neatness and smoothness. Therefore, you should fix the bun with bobby pins and hairpins, and then fix the result with hairspray.

Unlike the first version of a careless bun, this smooth bun using socks can be suitable not only for the beach or informal meetings among young people, but also becomes an excellent option for an evening hairstyle.

And bright things will only add piquancy to the image.

3. Evening version of a hair bun

The last way to make a bun is no more complicated than the previous two, and the effect and final look can be a worthy option for a beautiful hairstyle.

To make a beautiful bun of hair that forms a perfect torus, you will need a ready-made foam donut.

Depending on whether you want to achieve volume in your hair or have a smooth hairstyle, curl or straighten your hair with an iron.

Then place your hair in a side or middle parting and tie it into a tight, low ponytail.

As in the previous case, pass the hair through the foam donut and slide it to the very base of the ponytail.

Then, with both palms, spread your hair evenly over the surface of the donut, covering it with the tail on top.

Gradually, separating strand by strand, tuck the ends of your hair under the base of the bun, carefully twisting the strands and hiding them under a foam donut.

To prevent the strands from falling back, secure them in a circle at the base of the bun with bobby pins, and then spray with medium-hold hairspray.

The finishing touch to any bun that turns it into a beautiful prom hairstyle can be flowers - artificial or real; hoops, wreaths, combs.

As you can see, making a hair bun is very simple, and you don’t need to have any special skills to do it.

The means at hand, along with a small set of tools - hairpins, bobby pins, a foam rubber torus - will help in creating real hairstyles, as if from a salon.

A bun on the head is a universal hairstyle for every day, which can be done both for long and thick hair and for short hair with your own hands. The bun goes well with classic and business style clothing, helping to make the everyday office dress code more feminine and interesting. The bun on the head can be braided in many ways, using different types of hairpins and methods of fixation.

To make a beautiful bun for short hair, you will have to use auxiliary means - hairpins, elastic bands. To comb your hair more carefully, use a wide-toothed comb.

Avoiding strands coming out in all directions, pin your hair up with transparent ones or the color of your hair with bobby pins, after spraying them with fixing varnish. If you are going to a romantic dinner or a bachelorette party, and you want to add a touch of carelessness and tenderness to your look, use a soft curl cord and tie it around your hair gathered in a bun.

If your own hair volume is not enough to braid a beautiful bun, use a voluminous, preferably velvet, hair tie that will decorate your look and make it more elegant.

A few tips to help you create the perfect bun:

  1. Use a natural wood or ceramic comb to avoid static electricity. “Electrification” can do a lot of damage to your hair.
  2. The higher your bun, the more you emphasize your neck, enhancing the tenderness of the image, while maintaining severity and seriousness.
  3. Use a strand and pins that match the color of your hair, avoid contrasts and “separating” your hairstyle.

Medium length hair bun

How to make a bun on your head for medium-length hair is not a secret for most girls. According to statistics, more than half of the girls in Europe have average hair length, so the best hairdressers have invented more than a dozen varieties of buns.

For medium-length hair—shoulder-length hair—voluminous buns combined with front strands curled into large curls are suitable.

Make a tight bun using a large elastic band or an airy bagel, without touching the front strands, which, when cut in a cascade, are about half as long as the main length.

When creating a “bun” hairstyle, the front strands have to be tucked in with bobby pins, and when creating a romantic look, the front strands should be curled with an iron or curling iron in the direction “from the face”, having previously been sprayed with a protective thermal spray.

Bun for long hair

Braiding a bun on long, heavy hair is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Firstly, an unfixed bun of long hair can weaken and turn into an “icicle” that you will need to constantly adjust, worrying about whether your bun has unraveled.

To fix a bun of long hair, use:

  • A donut for creating a bun hairstyle (necessarily in the color of your hair).
  • Fixing varnish to eliminate “sticking out” hairs.
  • Hairpins also match the color of your hair.

Another important life hack for those who want to remove all the “elements of negligence” from their image is to use a toothbrush or a soft mascara brush to fix short hairs growing closer to the forehead.

Girls with long, thickly growing hair are more likely to encounter similar difficulties and resort to shaving off their hair, which experts strongly advise not to do.

Firstly, after removing excess hair from the forehead, new, shorter and coarser hair begins to grow in the same place even faster, causing discomfort to the scalp. Such hairs after “depilation” are even more difficult to handle.

Therefore, leading hairdressers advise combing unwanted hairs using a small, fine-toothed brush (in this case, a toothbrush or mascara brush is perfect), as well as fixing varnish. You need to spray the brush at a safe distance from the eyes and face, and then with soft and gentle movements you need to comb the excess hair towards the main volume of hair.

In addition, in 2017, “standard combing” was replaced by “curly combing” - the hairs on the forehead can be fixed in the shape of a wave, this will add a special flirtatiousness to your image in the spirit of the fifties.

Create a bun using an elastic band

You can create a beautiful and neat bun using a thick and voluminous elastic band by following these steps:

  1. We tie our hair into a high ponytail (we choose the height depending on how we want to arrange the bun);
  2. We begin to twist the ponytail around the elastic band fixed at the roots of the hair - clockwise or counterclockwise;
  3. We tuck the tip of the ponytail under the elastic, trying to hide all the protruding hairs.

Another way to tie a bun using strand separation is done in four simple steps:

  • As in the first method, we tie a tight ponytail at the required height.
  • After the ponytail is tied, we divide the hair into two equal parts, so that we get two hair flagella of equal volume.
  • Next, we begin to twist the first flagellum clockwise, and the second counterclockwise, or vice versa.

In order to fix the hair in a bun, just as in the first method, we tuck the ends of the “flagella” into an elastic band. It is important that the flagella are twisted in different directions Using this principle, you will get a neat bun with an interesting internal pattern.

What about a thin elastic band?

To understand how to make a bun on long hair using a thin or not at all tight elastic band, let’s turn to the step-by-step instructions:

  1. There should be no other elastic bands or hairpins on the head; a bun with a thin or loose elastic band will turn out light and slightly disheveled, so there should be no other “pulling” elements in the hairstyle.
  2. Be sure to secure the hair with bobby pins, securing them on four sides around the bun.
  3. We create additional volume by slightly pulling the top strands out of the bun.

Create a tousled bun for any hair type

Slight negligence has not yet harmed any image, of course, excluding cases when etiquette and dress code require compliance with certain rules regarding women's hairstyles, for example, business meetings, conferences, public speaking in the office, etc.

Hollywood stars have long been accustomed to appearing on the carpet with lush, large, high buns, so what prevents girls from repeating the success of these hairstyles in everyday life?

Firstly, weather conditions. Wind, air humidity - all this plays a “wicked joke” on women’s hairstyles, and it doesn’t matter at all how much fixing varnish you apply to the scalp. In the case when we want to make a messy bun on our head, oddly enough, bad weather can help us a lot!

Moisture makes our hair curl and creates additional external hair volume, which we need to be able to use correctly with the help of bobby pins. The wind blowing the curls can also add volume to our hairstyle.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a messy bun

Execution:


Volumetric bun using a donut

In order to make a neat, but at the same time voluminous and high bun on your head using a donut, as is obvious, you will need a hairdressing paralon “donut”. Depending on the size and height you want to braid the bun, the bagel is selected according to the following parameters.

Firstly, the height of the foam base for the hairstyle, and secondly, the diameter of the product. A porous bagel will allow your hair and scalp to breathe, while a denser bagel of your hair color will create the effect of extra volume.

So, to make a beautiful bun, you will need:

  1. Gather your hair into a tight bun, removing all excess strands.
  2. Comb those curls that are trying to get out of the bun using a flat wooden comb.
  3. Tie a regular ponytail (use a thin elastic band in a base color, but remember that spring elastic bands are not suitable in this case).
  4. Thread the ponytail into the donut, trying not to miss a single hair (to do this, you can first twist the ponytail into a bundle).
  5. Distribute the hair from the ponytail around the donut so that your strands completely cover its surface.
  6. Secure the donut “covered” with hair with a transparent elastic band, then secure the base of your bun with strands of loose hair.
  7. At the end, the tightened flagellum can be secured with invisible threads.

We use a twister hairpin

A hair twister is another simple device that can be used
use to create a bun on the head.

The twister is elastic; soft fabric, most often velvet, is stretched along the contour of a soft metal wire.

Using a twister, you can braid an even and neat bun on your head in just three minutes.

Gather your hair into a ponytail, place half the length of hair into the twister hole and begin twisting the hairpin upward.

After the twister “rises” to a sufficient height, you should begin to twist the ends of the hairpin to the center and secure your hair with bobby pins.

Making a bun using a sock

A sock is one of the most unexpected hairstyle tools, which, however, can be a great help when you don’t have a special donut at hand. Cut a piece of sock fabric approximately 3-4 cm high and use a makeshift sock donut in the same way as indicated in the instructions above.

It is important to pay special attention to camouflaging the sock; for this you need to use fabric that matches the color of your hair, and also wrap strands of hair in a thick layer that can cover the fabric completely; you need to secure the donut on your head using bobby pins and hairspray.

Heagami rubber bands

An excellent alternative to both large elastic bands and bagels when creating a lush and voluminous bun on your head is to use a heagami type elastic band. They look like bracelets that can take on any given shape. With these elastic bands you can create a bun of any shape.

Use your imagination and the suggested instructions:

  1. Comb your hair, apply styling mousse along the entire length of your hair.
  2. Pull your hair into your hand as if you were making a ponytail.
  3. Open the heagami elastic in a twisted state on both sides and place the hair exactly in the middle.
  4. Lower the elastic to the end of your hair length, holding it so that the elastic does not fall off. Next, lift the elastic band in a circular motion, twisting your hair up. At the same time, stretch the hair so that it fits evenly on the heagami, without “sagging”
  5. Gradually approaching the desired height of the bun, and as a rule, fashion experts advise braiding the bun in this way as low as possible to the neck to add special elegance to the image.
  6. When finished, bring the ends of your elastic together, cover the elastic with a chignon or your strands, securing them under a hairpin with bobby pins.

Bun with hairpins

Not a single bun, except a “disheveled”, slightly careless one, can do without fixation. Most of the methods shown use bobby pins, but hairpins can be an excellent replacement, especially if they are decorated with pearls, beautiful beads or other accessories that decorate your look.

Types of hairstyles using a bun

Backcomb bun

A backcombed bun adds volume to your hairstyle and makes your look romantic, light and elegant.

Once you have created a beautiful bun on your head, use a wide-toothed flat comb to create volume, combing away from the bun, slightly lifting the hair strands.

Bunch with flagella

A bun with flagella is a unique hairstyle that will take you a maximum of 10 minutes of time.

The technique for creating the base of the bun remains the same as in previous braiding methods, but after you have distributed the hair, covering the donut, you need to braid loose braids - flagella and tuck them into the bun so that you get a “basket” of braids, carefully hidden under the base of the bagel.

Braided bun

Flagella are not the only thing you can decorate your bun with. A fishtail braided around a bun can be an excellent decoration for your hairstyle.

The technique of creating a fishtail is similar to braiding an inward braid. To create such a braid, you need to divide a strand of hair into four equal parts and then follow the technique of weaving regular braids.

French bun

The French bun - also known as a “shell” – is made using a twist, and the hairpin, unlike the classic donut, is placed vertically, allowing less fixation of the hair.

To make a French bun without a twister, you will need to use hairspray and a lot of bobby pins. However, the result is worth it; in the end you get a strict, but incredibly feminine bun, which is suitable for both business meetings and dates.

Simple ballerina bun

In gymnastics and dance classes, girls are often asked to create a bun on their head, tight and neat, like a ballerina, using a bun clip. Kichka is a mesh with invisible bobby pins sewn on the edges, which minimizes the time it takes to braid a bun. Buns come in knitted, light mesh and solid buns, and all of them allow you to create a high bun - a ballerina's hairstyle in just a minute.

A bun hairstyle is a universal way to emphasize your femininity and elegance, a hairstyle that cannot be superfluous in any fashionable look, you just need to choose the right jewelry for it and decide on the height and degree of fixation of the bun.
