Unfortunately, the provided reference only mentions the existence of easy bun tutorials but doesn't actually detail the steps for creating one. Therefore, I will provide generally known methods for achieving a quick bun for long hair.
Here are a few common methods for a quick bun:
Method 1: The Twist and Wrap Bun
- Gather your hair: Pull your hair back into a ponytail at your desired bun location (high, mid, or low). You don't need to make it perfect; a messy bun is part of the charm.
- Twist the ponytail: Twist the entire length of the ponytail tightly.
- Wrap the twist: Wrap the twisted ponytail around the base of the ponytail, forming a bun shape.
- Secure the bun: Use hair ties or bobby pins to secure the bun in place. The number of pins/ties will depend on your hair's thickness and the bun's security.
- Adjust: Gently pull at some strands of the bun to loosen it and create a more relaxed, voluminous look.
Method 2: The Messy Top Knot
- Flip your head over: Flip your head upside down and gather your hair into a high ponytail.
- Loop and secure: On the last wrap of your hair tie, don't pull the hair all the way through. Leave a loop of hair and let the ends fall forward.
- Fan out the bun: Fan out the loop of hair to create a wider bun.
- Secure the ends: Tuck the ends of the hair under the bun and secure with bobby pins.
- Adjust: Pull out some strands to loosen and mess up the bun as desired.
Method 3: The Sock Bun (for a polished look, takes slightly longer)
- Prepare your sock: Cut the toe off an old sock and roll it up into a donut shape.
- Ponytail: Gather your hair into a ponytail where you want your bun.
- Slide the sock on: Slide the sock donut over the end of your ponytail.
- Distribute the hair: Spread your hair evenly around the sock donut, covering it completely.
- Secure with elastic: Place an elastic band around the base of the bun, securing the hair.
- Wrap the remaining hair: Wrap the remaining ends of your hair around the base of the bun and secure with bobby pins.
These methods provide several options for achieving a quick and stylish bun with long hair. The best method for you will depend on your hair type and desired style.
