How to Make a Curly Bun

If you're bored with your hairstyle and are finding it difficult to find exciting ways to style it, try fixing your hair into a curly bun. A curly bun is an easy hairstyle to do, it just takes some time and practice to perfect it. A curly bun works best for shoulder length hair minimum, but it can be for any hair type whether it's straight, curly or fine. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

• Ponytail holder
• Hair pins
• Hairspray

Instructions

1. Pull your hair into a ponytail. Making the bun will work best if you hair is high on your head or at least a medium height. If your hair is to short to gather all of it into a ponytail, use hair pins to pull your hair up and secure it as close to the ponytail as possible.

2. Take a 1-inch section at a time and hold it lightly in one hand. Wrap the hair around two fingers in your other hand until the entire length of your hair is curled. If you have a one inch barrel curling iron, you can loosely wrap your hair around the barrel to begin with so you get a feel for an approximate size.

3. Hold the curl tightly against your head and secure it with a hair pin. Re-do the curl if it's not the size you'd like until you're satisfied with the curl.

4. Continue repeating Steps 2 and 3 above until you've curled all the hair in your ponytail. This will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

5. Spray your hairstyle with a firm hold hairspray to hold your bun in place. If you have fine hair, you may want to spray each curl individually after you've secured it with a hair pin.

Tips & Warnings

• If you would like to have your hairstyle last for more than one day, sleep with your hair pinned overnight and take them out in the morning for a full head of curls.

• Turn your bun into a softer look by not pulling all your hair into the ponytail. Leave some hair around your ears, scalp and neck. Curl these with a curling iron and spray with hairspray.
