How to Make a Bun With a Hairpiece

1. Find a hairpiece that matches your hair color.

2. Draw your hair into a small bun or ponytail wherever you want the hairpiece to go. To make a small bun, simply loop your hair in half and hold it in place with a ponytail holder. You may have to loop your hair in half more than once depending on how long your natural hair is.

3. Attach your hairpiece by placing it above your bun or ponytail. Some hairpieces have clips already or bobby pin slots to attach the piece.

4. Tuck your natural hair underneath your hairpiece and finish securing the hairpiece with the clips or bobby pins. The hairpiece should be snug; if not, redo steps two and three.

5. Twist your hairpiece clockwise, so it looks like a rope.

6. Wrap the hair rope from the hairpiece around the clips and bobby pins, creating a center for the bun. Continue wrapping around until you run out of hair.

7. Secure your hair-rope-turned-bun with bobby pins around the sides of the bun to keep it in place.

8. Add accessories to your bun. Decorative clips or flowers will dress up your hair for a prom, wedding or special occasion.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have particularly thick hair, you may need multiple ponytails to start to either hide your hair or to hold in the hairpiece. You can place the hairpiece atop for a structured look, in the middle for a more classic look, or lower for classy or casual. For a messy bun look, do not twist your hairpiece into a rope. Simply wrap the hairpiece around your ponytail.
