Hair Bun Tutorial
Here is the long awaited hair bun tutorial. I first featured this look here and got a lot of request asking for a tutorial. So here it is!
Step 1: Style as Usual
For this look I kept my hair straight, but it would also work well with textured/curly hair.
Step 2: Create a High Ponytail
The height of your pony is up to you, for this look I prefer to have it sit high on the head.
Step 3: Wrap Hair Around the Base
Wrap your hair around the base of the ponytail until no loose ends are left, forming your bun. Keep your hair on the looser side to ensure the bun is full.
Step 4: Secure & Pin
Pin it with bobby pins to hold in place, and you’re done.

August 25, 2015 at 8:17 pmUmmmm you are the cutest. Your cuteness is seriously out of control in these pics.
I feel like my hair may be too layered for this to work, but I also think your hair is shorter than mine, so maybe it would work. I’ll give it a try! <3
herrmj says
August 26, 2015 at 6:58 amAww, thanks Mil! You are always so kind, and encouraging. We need more people like you in the world.
Definitely give it a try, I have a lot of layers too. I was so glad when my hair grew out so I could style it this way.
Amelia Vesper says
August 26, 2015 at 9:46 amI will try it! I’ve had trouble mastering the voluminous bun, so I have high hopes for this version 🙂

PS. I love your new layout of your blog! It’s simple yet so chic! 😉

August 26, 2015 at 7:09 amThanks Vivian. Your comment means the world to me. For the longest time I couldn’t wear my hair this way because it was too short, so I can relate. I would love to see a hair tutorial from you. I am always looking for new ideas.
Thanks so much! The blog update was such a pain. So glad you like it.

August 27, 2015 at 12:36 amHaha you’re welcome! I love the bun look on you! It’s so cute! Haha that’s right! We can inspire each other, hope I can do a hair tutorial soon hehe 🙂 Haha I think it was worth the effort! Your layout looks absolutely great! Btw, are u using WordPress.org now? Wai and I are also considering moving our blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, but it seems so difficult! >_<
herrmj says
August 28, 2015 at 10:33 amThanks Vivian, I’m kinda self conscious about wearing it up. I’m not crazy about my side profile. I look forward to seeing a hair tutorial from you soon. I’ll keep my eyes out for it.
Oh thanks so much! It was worth it but a lot of work. There are still things I need to correct.
Yep, I’m on WordPress.org. There’s a lot of resources out there to help. Good luck if you make the move. There are also people out there who will do the switch for you.

August 27, 2015 at 10:53 amLooks so simple! My problem is getting my hair up that high in the first place. And then dealing with all the frizzes in the back and the front. It doesn’t always look as sleek and pretty as yours. But yours does look beautiful, especially with that lovely smile. I’m going to give it another try! Otherwise, corkscrew pins it is!

September 4, 2015 at 10:38 amHey Yasmin. Thanks for the kind words. I kinda prefer a messy bun. I’m sure whatever you come up with will be lovely. There is no need to be perfect, that’s the beauty of a bun. Good luck, hope this way works for you.
