• Step 3-4. We hold the ends of the hair and wrap it around the elastic. We fix the finished bundle with pins along the entire circumference.

Step-by-step instruction:

• 1. Braid five braids (2 at the temples and 3 at the back) using matching elastic bands.
• 2. Starting at the back of the braid, start to braid the bun. To do this, simply twist one braid around your base. The ends of the braids can be tucked into the center of the bundle. The result must be secured with pins.

This version of a romantic bun is based on two thick braids:

Voluminous bun for long hair

Option 1.

In order to make a beautiful and fashionable volumetric bun, you need to prepare a small elastic band, a pair of invisible ones (2-3 pieces), a comb and hairspray.

Next, you should adhere to the following step-by-step recommendations:

• Step 1. Comb your hair thoroughly. Separate one fairly large strand at the top of your head. Polish it and lightly comb it.
• Step 2. Create a high ponytail based on all the hair and fix it tight with an elastic band. After that, pull the elastic a little from the surface of the head.

• Step 3-4-5-6. Slide your fingers into the free space under the elastic and gently drag the tip of your tail through it. Secure the ends of the tail with invisibility. Before that, for a more stylish and neat look, wrap it in an elastic band. Straighten the bunch. Fix the hairstyle with a suitable varnish.

Here is the end result! If you want the bun to turn out to be more lush, you can comb the tail (each strand separately) and only then proceed to step number 3.

Option 2.

The next type of bun is best created on lightly combed or curled hair, because in this case the hairstyle will be as natural and voluminous as possible.

Step-by-step instruction:

• 1. Curl insufficiently voluminous hair with a curling iron.
• 2. Tilt your head forward and collect all the hair in a simple ponytail.

• 3-4-5-6. When tying the tail with an elastic band, try to make sure that the tip of the tail is in front of the head, and a kind of loop forms from the hair. Straighten the loop as shown in photo 3. Wrap the end of the ponytail around the elastic.

• 7-8-9. Secure the tip with hairpins and fix the bunch with varnish.

Careless bun for long hair

There is one more type of bundles that girls of "vanilla" often prefer to wear. That is why such bundles are often called "vanilla".

Such hairstyles are distinguished by light negligence, soft and free lines, which will come in handy for dreamy, romantic and creative persons.

Option 1.

In order to create such a careless bun, you need to stock up on a comb, hairpins and hair ties.

Step-by-step instruction:

• Step 1. Comb your hair. If the hair does not differ in "meek disposition", then slightly moisten it with water.
• Step 2. Gather your curls into a high ponytail. The hair in the ponytail needs to be combed again.

• Step 3-4-5-6. We twist the tail around its axis. If the hair is excessively thick and thick, then the tail can be divided into two equal parts and intertwined. We wrap the tail around its base, covering the elastic. We don't need to make it too tight, as we need the most loose bundle.

• Step 7-8. We hide the ends of the tail under the elastic band. We fix the beam with pins. If in the process of creating a hairstyle the hair is a little disheveled, then this is only for the best. If the hairstyle turned out to be too neat, then the situation can be corrected by simply pulling out a couple of locks in a chaotic manner.

Option 2.

• 1. Wash and dry your hair, and then brush it well with a massage brush.Apply a small amount of lather to your curls to make your hair more manageable.
• 2. It's time to tie the ponytail. At the first turns, thread the curls completely, but at the last one - no. Our goal is to get a kind of loop out of the hair. You do not need to hide the ends of the tail.

• 3-4. Now we have to work with the "loop", which needs to be given the most casual look. To do this, you can lightly comb it or just tousle it with your hands. It is also necessary to comb the ends of the tail sticking out from under the elastic. If the hair does not hold its shape for too long, then the hairstyle can be sprayed with varnish.

• 5-6. We enjoy the final version!

Bundle with a sock or donut

A nice and trendy hairstyle can be done using a regular knitted sock.

In order to obtain such a "donut", the part that is intended for the fingers has to be removed from the sock. After that, fold the sock so that it looks like an elastic band.

Option 1.

In this case, it is necessary to understand that the volume of the bundle will strongly depend on the diameter of the sock and on the hair's own length.

If you want a noticeable and large bun, then choose a sock that is larger and denser.

Step-by-step instruction:

• 1. Using a simple elastic band, tie your hair into a ponytail.
• 2. Pass the ponytail into the sock, as if in a regular elastic band.
• 3. Move the toe to the ends of your hair, making the tail look like a palm tree.

• 4. Spread the ends of the ponytail evenly over the entire surface of the sock and start winding your hair around your homemade donut.
• 5. Slip a matching elastic over the sock, thereby securing the bundle securely. Hide any protruding ends using hairpins or invisible hairpins.

Option 2.

In this case, the sock should be installed in the place of attachment of the tail, evenly distribute all the curls around its circumference and once again secure them with an elastic band.

The protruding ends should be collected in one large curl and wrap the resulting bundle with it. Hairspray and hairpins with invisibility will support the hairstyle. Simple, elegant and fast!

• If the girl is tall, she should not build a high bunch on the top of her head, lower and voluminous options will look harmonious and feminine.
• Short girls tight bunches decorated with graceful accessories, braids and curly strands are suitable.

Some helpful tips

If you want your hairstyle to last as long as possible, fix it with special tools.

At the same time, gels and mousses are not the best option, since they moisturize the hair, and high-quality styling is obtained only on dry curls. In addition, you should not choose a varnish with a smell, otherwise you can kill the scent of perfume.

Do not wash your hair before creating your hair. This should be done in the evening, and in the morning start styling. Then the strands (both short and long) will not be knocked out of the hairstyle.

Refuse to use low-quality accessories for decorating your hair (hairpin, comb, etc.), otherwise you risk seriously ruining your hair.

And, of course, remember that not everyone gets the perfect beam the first time. But don't worry. A little training and you will definitely surprise those around you with your stylish and original hairstyle!

Jewelry and accessories

For those who are unlucky with the thickness of their hair or the ability to style them, various accessories will come to the rescue, which can be easily bought in a store or ordered via the Internet. All of them can be roughly divided into three broad categories. The first are items for adding extra volume.

These include various bagels and foam sponges that are placed under the hair. In addition, this category includes various overhead strands and even whole artificial bundles.

The second category is those items that facilitate the process of creating a hairstyle.

For example, various clips and flexible bands into which you can tuck the ends of your curls. After the hair is tucked in, it is wrapped around this barrette and twisted into a neat knot with it.

The third category is various decorative items.

There is an unimaginable number of different decorative hairpins, combs, ribbons and chains that not only hold the hairstyle, but also serve as an additional decoration.

Contrasting colors, unusual stones and rhinestones, the shine of metal and the softness of silk - all this emphasizes the beauty of not only the beam, but the whole image of a woman.

Separately, it is worth mentioning small hats or veils, which are used during large events and celebrations. They can be supplemented with natural materials such as wood, stones and even bird feathers. The main thing is that such a veil should be combined with the dress of the hero of the occasion.

There are many options for creating a simple, and at the same time, a beautiful bun hairstyle. To describe all the possible ways, you will need more than one printed book. We hope that the article has fully given you a presentation on how to make a beautiful bun for long hair with your own hands.
