The beauty of a bun is that it's easy and doesn't need to be perfect—but we have to admit, sometimes we see an especially full and perfectly tousled one and think, I wish my bun looked like that.
Well, it's time to stop wishing and give the following easy tricks a try. This hair how-to comes to us from backstage at the Dallas Opera's glitzy season-kickoff fashion show called First Sight. To doll up models who wore a series of Roberto Cavalli evening looks, hair and makeup artist LB Rosser created this cool textured bun. Here are his tips to getting the look.
- Before you start, mist hairspray all over your hair, or try a texturizing spray (used here, on model Laurie Bing: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray).
- Cinch at mid-ear height with a tight elastic.
- Tease/back-comb the tail to build up volume.
Take one section at a time and twist loosely around the elastic, then pin, forming your bun.
Finish with more hairspray; use it to tame any wayward baby hairs at your hairline and neck (used here: Aquage Finishing Spray).
Such pretty bun inspiration, right? What tricks do you use to get your bun looking its best?
