To put up a short bob, you can create a small bun and secure it with bobby pins. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Creating a Small Bun for a Short Bob
This technique is particularly useful for managing a short bob, as it can be challenging to create traditional updo's with limited hair length.
Steps:
-
Gather Hair: Start by gathering a section of your hair at the back of your head, as if you are making a small ponytail.
-
Twist: Twist the gathered hair section gently, moving towards the base of the area you gathered the hair.
-
Form a Bun: Begin wrapping the twisted hair around itself to form a small bun. This may be tight or looser depending on the remaining length you have to work with.
-
Secure with Bobby Pins: Use bobby pins to secure the bun. For added security, you can employ the "jack knife" method mentioned in the reference.
- Jack Knife Method: Take a bobby pin and insert it on the left side of the bun, towards the head, and then back up into the bun itself. This will help secure the bun in place without the need for hairspray, as demonstrated in the video reference.
-
Check for Security: Gently tug on the bun to ensure that it is secure. If needed, add more bobby pins.
-
Optional Styling: You can leave the bun as is or use your hands to gently tousle the front part of your bob for a more relaxed style.
By following these simple steps, you can put up your short bob into a secure and stylish bun. The jack knife bobby pin technique will be essential to keep your bun in place.
