Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Slick hair back into a ponytail. Use hairspray to smooth fly aways.

  2. Step 2

    Twist ends of hair and wrap around. Lay hair flat against the scalp.

  3. Step 3

    Secure with pins as you twist. I prefer open pins as opposed to the flat kind. They don't distort the shape of the hair and tend to stay in better.

  4. Step 4

    Wrap a thin, nylon hairnet over the bun and tuck in excess, secure with a pin or two.

    This step is optional but recommended for recital/performances for extra security.

  5. Step 5

    Set with a final spritz of hairspray and you're done.
