Creating a low bun with braiding hair is a popular and effective way to add volume and length, especially if you have short hair. This technique often involves preparing the braiding hair and then incorporating it into your style to form the bun.
Steps for Creating a Low Bun with Braiding Hair
Here's a general approach to making a low bun using braiding hair, incorporating a technique seen in tutorials:
- Prepare Your Natural Hair: Start by styling your own hair into a low ponytail or securing it in a way that will serve as the base for the bun.
- Prepare the Braiding Hair: Take the desired amount of braiding hair. You might split it into sections depending on the size and type of bun you want to create.
- Create Twists or Braids: A common method is to twist or braid the braiding hair. As demonstrated in some techniques, you can create two twists using the braiding hair.
- Secure the Ends: To prevent the twists or braids from unraveling or "rolling out," place an elastic at the end of each twist or braid made with the braiding hair.
- Incorporate and Wrap: Take the prepared twists or braids made from the braiding hair and wrap them around your natural hair base (like a ponytail or bun foundation) to form the low bun shape.
- Secure the Bun: Use bobby pins or another elastic band to secure the wrapped hair, ensuring the bun is tight and holds its shape.
- Final Touches: Smooth down any flyaways and adjust the bun as needed. You can use hairspray for extra hold.
By utilizing braiding hair prepared into secured twists, you can easily build a voluminous and secure low bun, even on shorter hair.
