Learn how to create a protective bun that is fun, easy and manageable, yet professional. This style allows your hair to rest for a while without much manipulation.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Brush
• Hair styling product
• Pins
• Scrunchy

1. Start with clean, freshly washed hair. Gather your hair into a ponytail. You can wear it high or low based on your preference and the look that you are going for. Use a scrunchy to secure your ponytail.

2. Apply the styling product of your choice (styling butter, balm, pomade, gel, etc.) to your edges to smooth them down and if necessary,brush the hair down for a slicker look.

3. 

   Finger comb the ponytail part of your hair and separate the hair into two large twists (smaller twists if you want a larger bun).

   Wrap the twists around the ponytail in a clockwise motion and secure them with hair pins. The result is a wonderful bun that you can wear to various occasions.

Tips & Warnings

• Loosen the bun at night and wrap your hair with a silk or satin scarf to allow your hair to rest and protect your edges.
• Do not pull your hair too tight as that will result in hair loss around the edges. Loose ponytails are recommended.
