How to Make a Twisty Bun
Give a new twist to a classic style -- literally -- by making a twisty bun. This sleek updo is ideal for ballet dancers, prom-goers and brides, making it a versatile style you can pull off yourself. The longer your hair, the more times you can twist your twisty bun. Pull down curls around your temples and ears for a wispy, romantic look, or slick back the front for a more professional chignon. Adorn a twisty bun with flowers or a sparkly hair clasp for added drama. Does this Spark an idea?
