Ready for a new spin on a classic updo style? The twisted high-bun is for you! This look works great in winter because you can hide it under a snow cap, then let your hair down for heatless-waves and curls. And you’ll love it in summer because it is fast, easy-to-do, and keeps your hair off your shoulders so they can breathe.
Best of all it has more texture than a standard high-bun, and doesn’t take much extra effort. So if you’re ready for a new go-to hairdo for medium to long hair, and all experience levels, here’s how to create the look.
You will need:
- Two large or small hair ties (whichever size you use for a normal hair bun)
- One tiny hair tie
- A hair brush
- Finishing spray (optional)
The steps to create a twisty high-bun:
- Smooth your hair with a brush to remove knots and tangles.
- Pull it back to a high ponytail and secure your hair with the small or large hair tie.
- Split the ponytail into two strands and begin twisting them so they form a rope but don’t coil.
- As you twist the rope shapes, begin wrapping them around one another for the twisty texture, same as creating a twisty ponytail.
- Secure the base of the twisty ponytail with the tiny hair tie and then wrap the ponytail into a hair bun around the base and secure it with the other large or small hair tie.
If you want to prevent flyaways, or add some shine, use a finishing spray.
And that’s it! This spin on a classic comfy updo is easy to do and looks fab. Did you enjoy this post? Become a TELETIMES subscriber by entering your email below for more style guides just like it.
