Step-by-Step: How to Create a Full Low Bun
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
- Start with day 2 hair for the best texture (a little grit helps hold the style).
- If needed, add a light dry shampoo or texture spray for grip and volume.
Step 2: Add Volume at the Crown
- Use a fine-tooth comb to gently back-tease the crown of your head for a little lift.
- Lightly smooth over the top layer to keep it polished while maintaining volume.
Step 3: Section Off the Front Pieces
- Take two small sections of hair from each side of your face and clip them away for later.
- These pieces will frame the bun and add dimension.
Step 4: Create the Ponytail
- Gather the remaining hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck.
- Secure it with a clear hair elastic.
Step 5: The Secret to Fullness – The Bun Donut!
- Slip a round bun donut onto your ponytail.
- Spread your hair evenly over the donut and begin tucking the ends underneath.
- Use bobby pins or hairpins to secure the bun in place.
Step 6: Wrap the Side Sections
- Take the front sections you set aside earlier and gently twist or wrap them around the bun.
- Secure them with pins underneath the bun for a seamless look.
Step 7: Secure & Finish the Look
- Lightly pull on the crown for a bit of extra volume.
- Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.
- Optional: Add a few decorative hairpins for an elegant touch!
