Features of creating a volumetric bun on short hair

Most often, if a girl has curls that barely reach her shoulders, it is very difficult to make a lush bun. In addition, it is almost impossible to arrange the strands so that the hairstyle looks neat and elegant: mostly careless buns remain relevant here, as well as their French analogues - various shells. To add volume they do blunting(one-sided, internal pile) or use linings. Examples of hairstyles with linings are presented in the photo.

Let's look at how to make a hair bun yourself:

  • Pull your hair into a ponytail located where your bun should be. Most often this is the crown or occipital area, but asymmetrical (shifted to the side) beams are no less attractive. Secure them with an elastic band. In this case, its size does not matter: on the contrary, a thick elastic band may be preferable if there is a possibility of covering it with hair - this will add volume hairstyle.
  • Roll the entire mass of hair into a rope or braid it, in which it is recommended to pull each link slightly to the side. Wrap this around the base of the tail, hide the tip inside, securing it with a bobby pin. To hide it completely, choose a length shorter than the volume of your future hairstyle. The stages of creating a hairstyle are shown in the photo.

The technique for creating a bun for short hair is presented in the video:

This principle is used to make buns on any hair, but most often it is used specifically for short strands. However, he is not the only one: there is a French styling technique that also allows you to work with shoulder-length curls.

Learning to make a bun on your head according to the French method:

  • Divide the entire mass of hair into two parts with a horizontal parting at the level of the upper tip of the ears. Temporarily grab the lower area with a clip, and comb the upper area in the area of ​​the crown strand by strand at the root, then sprinkle with varnish.
  • Gather the top part at the parting level, smooth the outer side without eliminating the resulting volume, secure with a small thin elastic band, as shown in the photo below.
  • Remove the clip from the lower part, also comb it from the inside, connect it with the upper ponytail and twist the ends inward, forming a sloppy vertical “shell”. Add pins at the seam to hold the resulting hairstyle in place.

The same technique can be performed horizontally. The main point of this technology is tracking the comb, which should not be eliminated during the process of smoothing the outside.

Volumetric bun on thin hair using backcombing

Tuping (the same one-sided backcombing) can also be used on long curls if they don't have enough density. This method will not harm the hair structure if done correctly: the strand needs to be pulled back, then the comb should be used to move towards the root, moving upward in a kind of “steps”. If everything was done correctly, combing the strand back will be quite easy.

So, in order to understand how to make a bun of hair to create the illusion of natural thickness, you will need to do the following:

  1. Thread the entire mass of hair with wide strands to the very ends. Gently gather the curls into a ponytail and smooth the front side. Do not tighten the tail too much - this will kill the emerging volume.
  2. Now break all the free fabric into several parts, blunt each of them again, then spray with varnish and twist into a loose rope. Wrap the base of the tail with these strands, hide the ends and secure with bobby pins. You should get a luxurious, voluminous hair knot, as in the photo.

There are several nuances in this procedure that can be decisive in relation to the final result:

  • Wash your hair before styling your hair no conditioner or mask. If the shampoo requires a softening agent after itself, use an oil for the ends or a moisturizing spray for the lengths.
  • Dry your hair with a hairdryer leaning forward. This technique will create a natural root volume.

How to make a bun with a bagel?

This is one of the most common methods used by professionals and allows you to create a full bun on your head. in the absence of hair thickness.

To work, you will need a special bagel, which you can purchase at a hairdressing store or make yourself. It is usually based on a material that holds its shape well, similar to that used in dishwashing sponges.

In size, it resembles a simple thick elastic band, but the internal diameter should be slightly larger than the circumference of the tied tail.

If you can’t buy a bagel, you can build it yourself by taking a simple thick sock: woolen, terry, acrylic. It is advisable that it be long and unnecessary, since the cape is necessarily cut off. You should end up with a pipe (as in the photo), which is turned out and twisted until you get a three-dimensional circle.

You can form a device for a bun from any other fabric, but then you will need a foam base from which a circle with the center eliminated is cut out. Then it is covered with the selected fabric so that the hair does not cling to the foam.

To make a beautiful voluminous bun from thin hair with the help of such an accessory, in addition to it, you will need a regular elastic band, as well as several hairpins and bobby pins, low-hold hairspray, a moisturizing spray, and a comb with natural bristles.

A hairstyle made from a regular sock is created as follows:

  • Gather your hair into a ponytail and secure with an elastic band. If the hairstyle needs to be neat, with a smooth head, then it is better to use an elastic band with hooks: it will avoid “cocks” and, in addition, will securely fix the strands.
  • Place a donut on top of the elastic band (as shown in the photo instructions), lowering it to the very base of the ponytail. Then smooth the loose mass of hair with natural bristles and spray with any moisturizing spray - this will help reduce the degree of electrification of the curls while they are being styled.
  • Using a comb with a long sharp tip (knitting needle), you need to separate the strands so that they fall down the donut, covering it completely. If necessary, the hair is smoothed again.
  • Place a pair of bobby pins at the very base of the ponytail, then bring the ends under the donut and hook them with pins through the bobby pins. Finally, spray your hair with hairspray.

A donut bun can be made in two different ways, they are shown in the photo.

On those days when you haven’t had time to wash your hair, or you’re tired of loose hair, and you’re tired of a ponytail, a bun hairstyle will come to the rescue, which even a child can do.

We will tell you about the most popular varieties and methods of creating a bun on the head.

There is no lady who would not like this hairstyle. Use common sense when choosing an option that is ideal for your face type, age, and environment.

Face and body type

  • For those with a short neck, a low bun will help to visually lengthen it.
  • A square, wide face is suitable for high buns with bangs and side strands that visually narrow the face.
  • Short ones should be made lush using a roller or donut.
  • Those whom nature has blessed with tall stature should fix the knot in the lower part of the back of the head or on the side.

Length and density of hair

If your curls do not reach the shoulder line, the bun hairstyle will be problematic, falling apart within a couple of hours. For short hair, choose something simpler.

Medium length hair is ideal for creating a knot. If you are the owner of a thick, long mane, you can create any version of the bun, without the use of tools. For those with thin hair, rollers, elastic bands, hairpins, bobby pins, a little imagination, and a little patience will help.

In any case, a bun for long hair can be made much easier than for short hair.

Secrets of execution

Sometimes a hairstyle doesn't work out the first time. Especially if these are bundles of braids and backcombing. Don't despair, you can always rehearse at home using our video instructions, photo examples and figure out how to make a bun yourself.

  • Prepare in advance all the necessary tools and styling products.
  • Choose a place so that you can see yourself from the back and control the shape and fit of your bun.
  • It is advisable that your hair is thoroughly washed and dried, even if you prefer messy hairstyles. On a wet structure, the hairstyle does not hold well and quickly loses its shape.
  • You shouldn’t do a careless version or put your hair in a bun with a backcomb on your head that looks like “yesterday’s” freshness. An exception may be smooth, strict buns using varnish and gel.

Now you know how to make a bun fashionable, which until recently was considered the prerogative of “blue stockings” and surprise everyone with a beautifully executed hairstyle.

Everyone knows the hairstyle, which is popularly called a “bun”. Dancers, especially ballerinas, do this hairstyle all the time. Today there are many variations of it. The bun can be tied on the top of the head, but some people prefer it on the back of the head or even on the side. It can consist of two or more circles, attached with pins or Chinese sticks. And how beautiful a bun created from air braids looks!

It is not surprising that such exquisite styling and its various manifestations are so popular today. It is worth noting that this is a favorite hairstyle of brides. At the same time, for any occasion in life you can choose an individual “bun”. You can make it yourself without any special skills. I will talk about how a volumetric beam is created using a special roller:

1. We will need: a comb, a comb, invisible pins, a thin elastic band, a bun roller and, of course, hairspray.

2. Comb your hair thoroughly.

3. We tie a standard ponytail on the top of the head. To do this, we collect all the hair in our left hand, and with our right hand we carefully put a thin elastic band on the entire head, which we hold on our wrist.

4. This is the most ordinary tail we need. We try to make it neat and without “waves”. We choose a thin elastic band so that it is not visible under the bun.

5. When the ponytail is tied, you can additionally smooth the hair with a thin comb so that it lies flat and there are no so-called “cocks”. This is how I do it. You can also pin bobby pins to prevent individual hairs from falling out.

6. Take a roller, which is designed to form a volumetric beam. This device is made of artificial threads intertwined with each other. It is soft, elastic and stretches easily, so you can easily put it on your tail. Rollers come in different colors: beige, brown or black, like mine.

8. The next step, I begin tucking my hair under the roller, strand by strand. I do this very carefully, using my fingertips, so that the hair lies smooth and even.

9. Having tucked all the hair under the bun, carefully wrap the end of the ponytail around the elastic band and hide it under the roller. The model's hair is quite long, so you have to work hard to ensure that all the hair is discreetly packed under the roller.

10. Now we fasten our hairstyle with hairpins. They need to be pinned in a certain way so that the structure holds well. To do this, first insert the hairpin vertically into the base of the bun, and then turn it inward, catching the hair from the head, and push it under the roller. In this way, we grab the hair from the bun and on the head at its base, which allows us to properly secure the entire styling.

11. We have a smooth and neat volumetric bun. That's how interesting it looks from behind.

12. Be sure to apply hairspray so that the bun holds perfectly and individual hairs do not fall out of the hairstyle.

I did not decorate this beautiful bun with any decorations, but they are quite appropriate. A bright flower attached to the side or slightly under the bun will look very feminine.

In conclusion, I would like to note a few advantages of this beautiful styling. Firstly, it complements any look, making it more elegant. Secondly, it allows you to carefully remove all hair from the face and neck, which makes this hairstyle as comfortable as possible for everyday wear. Thirdly, it is created very simply and quickly, including for yourself. In my opinion, this is the perfect hairstyle for an evening look. Look how spectacular she is!

The sequence for creating a beam is as follows:

  1. Wash and dry your hair well. Do not use heavy leave-in products - with them the comb will not last long.
  2. Bend forward and dry your hair from the back of your head. Get up, shake and straighten your hair, bend down again and repeat the procedure. The more repetitions you do, the better the bouffant will hold - your hair should become very voluminous.
  3. Gather your hair into a ponytail and apply hairspray from a distance of 15-20 centimeters to maintain its fullness.
  4. Divide your hair into several sections and comb using a fine-tipped comb with fine, rounded teeth that do not damage the hair.
  5. Twist the combed strands into loose strands and arrange them in a bun. Secure with hairpins, bobby pins and hairspray.
  6. To get rid of frizz, wash your hair with plenty of water and a smoothing conditioner, and gently detangle the strands with your fingers. Do not use a comb - wet hair is very fragile and can be easily damaged.
