Steps for Making the Perfect Bun The follow steps show how to make the perfect bun:
Step 1: Brush Your Hair Thoroughly Step 2: Make a Ponytail Make a ponytail that sits at the crown of your head. An easy
way to see if it is as the right height is if you can just see it when facing a
mirror. Step 3: Twist the Ponytail Next, twist the ponytail to pull the hairs together like a
rope. Twist it as tight as possible without hurting as this will make the next
stage easier. Step 4: Pin the Bun Wrap the hair into a bun and fasten it with hair pins. Make
sure you use enough pins so it stays in place. Reinforcing the Hold & Fit Once you have made the perfect ballet bun, you can use
a few methods to ensure it remains tight to your head and looking smart,
including:
Tip 1: Use Hairspray or a Hair Net Hairspray or a hair net will keep it tight and help stop it
from coming apart when you move. This can also be used to manage frizzy or
wispy areas.Tip 2: Apply Texturising Spray or Water Using texturing spray or water before making the bun can
make doing the style easier, especially if your hair has been washed recently. Why Ballerinas Wear Buns Some of the reasons ballerinas wear this style include:
Look Uniform and
Smart Help With
Balance Make Practicing
and Performing Easier Keeping a tight bun helps to make practving and
performing easier as with loose hair or a ponytail, the hair will go into your
face, irritating your face and potentially affecting your balance.
