1
Dampen the hair slightly by misting it with the spray bottle. This will allow the hair to stay together better and will prevent stray hairs.
-
2
Make a ponytail with the hair and secure it with the hair bands. The base of the ponytail will serve as an anchor point for the top of the bun.

3
Separate the hair into two equal portions, splitting the ponytail down its left-right center line.
-
4
Twist the two portions of hair around each other to create a rope braid.

5
Secure the end of the braid with another hair band.
-
6
Fold the end of the braid under the braid itself and up against the base of the ponytail to create a braided bun.

7
Hold the bun in place using hair pins. Use hair pins the same color as the hair to make the pins less noticeable.

8
Spray the bun with hair spray to prevent hairs from coming free and making the bun look messy.
