Bun ties, also known as bun donuts, are used to create a voluminous and neat updo. The process involves threading your ponytail through the bun tie and then arranging your hair around it.
Steps to Using a Bun Tie
Here’s how to use a bun tie, based on the reference material:
-
Create a Ponytail: First, gather your hair into a ponytail at the desired height where you want your bun to be located.
-
Thread Through: Take the bun tie and thread your ponytail through the center of it, so the bun tie rests at the base of your ponytail.
- As the video explains, you want the ponytail to thread "through just like this," ensuring the bun tie sits properly on top of your head (0:34).
-
Arrange Your Hair: Now, spread your ponytail evenly around the bun tie to completely cover it with hair. This may require some adjustments to make sure all of the bun tie is hidden under your hair.
-
Secure the Bun: Once you've covered the bun tie with your hair, you can use bobby pins or hair elastics to secure your bun and hold it in place.
Tips for Success
- Even Distribution: Make sure your hair is evenly distributed around the bun tie to avoid any awkward bulges or visible spots.
- Bobby Pins: Use bobby pins strategically to secure any stray hairs and give the bun a more polished look.
- Hair Texture: The ease of use may vary slightly depending on hair texture and length. Thicker hair may require more bobby pins, while finer hair might benefit from a bit of hairspray.
- Practice Makes Perfect: It may take a few tries to get the hang of it, so don't be discouraged if it’s not perfect on your first attempt.
By following these steps, you can easily use a bun tie to achieve a classic and stylish bun hairstyle.
