How to Do a Quick Bun with Long Hair?

Published in Hair styling 3 mins read

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

  1. 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.
  2. Twist the ponytail: Twist the entire length of the ponytail tightly.
  3. Wrap the twist: Wrap the twisted ponytail around the base of the ponytail, forming a bun shape.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. Flip your head over: Flip your head upside down and gather your hair into a high ponytail.
  2. 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.
  3. Fan out the bun: Fan out the loop of hair to create a wider bun.
  4. Secure the ends: Tuck the ends of the hair under the bun and secure with bobby pins.
  5. 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)

  1. Prepare your sock: Cut the toe off an old sock and roll it up into a donut shape.
  2. Ponytail: Gather your hair into a ponytail where you want your bun.
  3. Slide the sock on: Slide the sock donut over the end of your ponytail.
  4. Distribute the hair: Spread your hair evenly around the sock donut, covering it completely.
  5. Secure with elastic: Place an elastic band around the base of the bun, securing the hair.
  6. 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.
