Unfortunately, the provided reference is incomplete; it describes adjusting a bun ("pull some hair out or tuck some hair back in") but not the initial process of how to create the bun itself. Therefore, I will provide general instructions on how to tie your hair into a basic bun and a messy bun, drawing on common knowledge.
Method 1: Basic Bun
This method creates a neat and secure bun, ideal for formal settings or keeping hair out of your face.
- Gather Your Hair: Collect all your hair into a ponytail at the desired height (high, mid, or low). Secure with a hair tie. The tightness of the ponytail will affect the tightness of the bun.
- Twist the Ponytail: Twist the ponytail tightly from the base to the ends. This creates a rope-like structure.
- Wrap the Twist: Wrap the twisted ponytail around the base of the ponytail, forming a circle.
- Secure the Bun: Tuck the ends of the twisted ponytail under the bun. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place, pinning around the circumference to keep it tight and secure.
- Finish: Use hairspray for extra hold and to tame flyaways.
Method 2: Messy Bun
The messy bun is a relaxed and effortless style.
- Gather Your Hair (Loosely): Gather your hair into a loose ponytail. You can choose to secure it with a hair tie on the last loop pulling only halfway through, creating a loop of hair and leaving the ends free (this forms a "half bun"). Alternatively, secure it fully.
- Wrap (or Loop) and Secure: If using the "half bun" method, arrange the loop and ends to your liking and secure with bobby pins. If you have a full ponytail, loosely twist it and wrap it around the base of the ponytail.
- Pull and Adjust: Gently pull strands of hair out of the bun to loosen it and create a messy, textured look. Pull some hair out or tuck some hair back in, just making the bun look the way you want it to. (As mentioned in the provided reference).
- Secure and Finish: Secure with bobby pins. A messy bun should look slightly undone, so don't worry about perfection. Hairspray can be used for a light hold.
