How to Do an Elegant Bun
- 1). Gather your hair with one hand at the nape of the neck.
- 2). Twist the hair counter-clockwise until an upside-down "U"-shaped bend starts to form.
- 3). Continue to twist the hair until it bends back on itself in an upward direction and arrives back at the starting point of the twist. This is your first knot.
- 4). Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to create a second circular knot. Guide the hair behind the first knot as you twist so the second knot lies between the first knot and the head.
- 5). Continue to twist the hair to create further knots until you reach the ends of the hair.
- 6). Tuck the ends of the hair out of sight inside the knots.
- 7). Slide two large bobby pins in an "X" shape behind the bun to secure it in place.
- 8). Add additional smaller pins as needed to secure the bun firmly and tame any flyaway strands.
