Ballerina Bun

The ballerina bun is a classic hairstyle that helps you keep your hair tight and elegant. This is the most basic style in how to make a bun. Follow these steps to achieve your best look:

• All bun hairstyles start with a ponytail. So first brush your hair smoothly and  then create a ponytail and secure it with a hair tie.
• Your ballerina bun can be high or low. For a low bun, grab a ponytail near the nape of the neck, where the hairline begins. For a taller and tighter look, pull your ponytail up over your ears.
• Twist the ponytail tightly and wrap it around its base to form a neat bun. Secure the bun with 4-6 bobby pins, providing it sits flat against your head.

The braided bun combines the beauty of braids with the elegance of a bun, creating a sophisticated yet charming look. To achieve this style, follow these steps:

• Brush your hair smoothly, then tie it into a ponytail at your desired height and secure with an elastic band.
• Braid your ponytail by separating it into three strands in the simplest way. Tie the end of the braid with a hair tie.
• (If you want a more sophisticated hairstyle, you can try a fishtail braid)
• Wrap the hair in a circular motion to create a bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins and you’re ready to show off your braided bun!

Sleek messy bun

The sleek messy bun effortlessly balances a polished appearance with a touch of carefree allure. Here’s how you can achieve this trendy look:

• Brush your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles and create a sleek base.
• Gather your hair into a high ponytail with the desired position and secure it with a hair tie.
• Twist the ponytail around its base to form a bun, securing it with 3-4 bobby pins as you go.
• Gently pull out a few strands of hair around your face to achieve the “messy” effect.
• Lock in the style with hairspray for long-lasting elegance if available. You will enjoy a luxurious hairstyle but no less personality.

Volumized Messy Bun

For a more voluminous take on the classic messy bun, follow these steps:

• Comb through the hair, and pull it into a high, tight ponytail with a hair tie. You can apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair and blow-dry it to create texture and volume.
• Once your hair is secured, spray a fine-tooth comb with hairspray and gently tease the ponytail  to add extra height and volume, from roots to ends.
• Wrap the teased ponytail loosely around the hair tie to form a bun, letting some strands fall loosely.
• Secure the bun with bobby pins and gently tug on the bun with your fingertips to create additional volume.
• Complete the look with hairspray for a stunning, textured volumized messy bun.

Three-twist bun

• Use your fingers to loosely separate your hair into three even sections at the base of your neck: one at the center and one on each side then secure each section with a hair tie.
• Twist each section inward towards the center of your head in turn clockwise and then secure with bobby pins, creating three twists.
• For a messy, chic look, tug some excess hair from the sides that allow a few face-framing strands to fall naturally for a soft finish.

That’s it, complete the triple twist bun adding complexity to your bun style.This is probably the most time consuming style in how to make a bun.
