Simple, Elegant Hair of the Day
Holiday time brings about parties and cocktail hours. You don’t always have time to go back home from work and get all dolled up, so this is a good option for a very cute hair-do. This is an age old classic- the bun.This hairstyle is quick, easy, and the best part is that it actually looks better when its been a day or two since you’ve washed it. All you need is four bobby pins and its best if you have a texturizing spray product. I used ghd Sea Spary. You can still do this without spray however it will make the hair stay better throughout the night.
The modern bun is messy and texturized. If you make your bun very polished and clean it gives a more serious look. By using the texturizing spray, you get a casual look. I don’t like to use a band to make a ponytail, because it takes away some of the volume on the crown. But you can use one if you like, I would just pull some hair around the base.
First you want to brush your hair through and spray a texturizing spray 5-7 times. Scrunch through. Gather all your hair and begin to twist the hair into one section in the middle of the back of your head. Rub the section lightly between to fingers to create more texture. Twist around so that your hair makes a bun. Hold the ends in place with one hand while you use a bobby pin to secure the ends. You want to cross bobby pins through the bun at every quarter of the bun. So, If the bun was a clock, you would want to place pins at noon, three o’clock, six o’clock, and nine o’clock. By crossing the pins in this way you can ensure that it stays for a long time. Et voila!
This look is extremely easy and sweet. I really think that it would look great with a flower accent or a ribbon tied around the base. Another quick idea is to make a ponytail first with a band and slip a ribbon through it before you start twisting that section of hair. The ribbon will look like its running through your hair when its in a bun. You should use an extra bobby pin to secure the end of the ribbon though.
I hope you enjoyed this! Ciao Xxx
