Styling hair into a bun?

The modern bun, or chignon, is a favorite hairstyle among fashionable women. It's surprisingly quick and easy, and it's sure to win you a few admiring glances.

Instructions

閳ヮ敼TEP 1: Begin with clean, dry, tangle-free hair. You may opt to blow curly or wavy hair straight for a smoother look. Work a little mousse through your hair and tame any flyaway hair with a drop of anti-frizz serum before starting your chignon.

閳ヮ敼TEP 2: Brush your hair back into a low ponytail. Shorter side layers can be pinned back with jeweled hair pins or a head band. Get a firm grip around the base of the ponytail and use your other hand to twist the tail into a tight spiral.

閳ヮ敼TEP 3: Hold the base of the ponytail with one hand, then lift the tail straight up with the other. Begin to coil it clockwise around the base. When you've made half of a circle, release the hand holding the base and use it to hold the forming bun as you continue to coil the tail of the chignon.

閳ヮ敼TEP 4: Complete one rotation - a little more if you have longer hair - then tuck the end of the tail under the chignon. If your hair is long enough, you might be able to push the tail through the bun and make a knot.

閳ヮ敼TEP 5: Secure the chignon using a few prong-shaped bobby pins or a hair stick. Push one pin through at any outside edge, collecting a small amount of the bun as you make the insertion. Secure the opposite side with a second pin. If you're using a hair stick, push the tip up through the right corner of your chignon, so that a thin flat layer rests on top of the stick. Rotate the stick 180 degrees and push it gently through the base of the bun. As the stick begins to emerge, hook a small amount of hair on the underside of the left corner, then center the stick.

Tips %26amp; Warnings

閳ヮ敳et your fingers do the work. With a little practice they'll learn where to put all of the things you can't see. Look at the final results and let your fingers feel areas that might need an adjustment.

閳ヮ敧o not pull or twist your hair too hard - hairs might break or fall out.

閳ヮ敽ake care not to poke your scalp when inserting pins and hair sticks. If you encounter any resistance, remove the fastener and begin again.

Buns are the easiest hair do ever, just put your hair into a pony tail, twist the ponytail around the bottom and then circle the top where your hair band is, use bobby pins to secure your hair there and then place the chopsticks through diagonally.

What I usually do is take the chopstick, stick it in about an inch into the bun, and then point the chopstick up as if going over a bump, and then poking it back down again. It gives a better grip of the chopstick in your hair and holds it better. Try this with the other chopstick as well, if you're using two.

Otherwise, you can always secure the bun with a hairtie matching your haircolor and stick the chopstick through anyway. I'm sure no one will notice, or care.

do a low ponytail and then twist your hair and while you are twisting it do a normal bun in the hair. then once the bun is there jam the chopstick into the centre of the bun - this part might hurt if your not used to putting chopsticks in your hair. anyway this is easier to do in thinner, shorter hair and long thick hair may not remain in a bun.

because i have the long thick hair i just make a normal bun with hair ties and then put the chopstick in my hair after the bun has been secured with hair ties...good luck - it may take a few tries to get the bun to stay after putting the chopstick in.

using two chopsticks is another option if the bun doesn't stay.
