Things You'll Need:
- Hair products such as gels, sprays, or leave in conditioners
- Ponytail holders, clips or bobby pins (optional)
-
Step 1
Decide how you are going to put your hair up. You have many different options, including cinnamon buns, Chinese buns, Chinese braided buns, sock buns, figure-eight bun, hair knot, Dutch braid bun and the half-bun (see Resources).
-
Step 2
Put in your regular hair products, if any. Note that leave-in conditioners work well when putting your hair up with hair sticks.
-
Step 3
Gather hair at crown and twist, braid or put in bun. Assemble your style and secure with ponytail holders, clips or bobby pins if necessary.
-
Step 4
Tuck in any loose ends, or let some tendrils hang down. Adjust your hair so that your style is not too tight, but will hold fairly well.
-
Step 5
Push hair sticks gently through your hair, weaving back and forth for the best hold. Use two sticks for optimal hold, or you can use just one stick.
