Start With A Ponytail

Long hair can be easily swept up and twisted into a bun, but this technique won’t work with short hair. Even if you are looking for a messy look, start by tying the hair into a ponytail. Tying the hair with an elastic band will give the bun the structure it needs and avoid falling out the sections.

Use a thin band with the same color of your hair. You can make a high ponytail if your hair is long enough but a low bun is a safer choice. This is because the underside of the hair at the back of the head is usually where the shortest strands are. With a low bun, short hair strands at the back of the neck can even stay in place.

Method 1: Twist and Spiral

To create a small, tight bun, take the ponytail and twirling the entire section around your finger to make a long twist. When the twist gets tighter, you can begin to curl your hair around the base of the ponytail. If not, spiral around the base by the twisted hair. Then, you should use a clear elastic band or bobby pins to keep the bun in place. Shake your head slightly to check whether the bun is secured or not. If not, redo the twist, add more bobby pins or apply hair spray to your bun.

Method 2: Tease and Pin

With short hair, a messy bun seems to be the best idea. This style works best for those whose hair may have some texture. Begin with the backcombing of the ponytailed hair parts to add more volume. Spray a bit of hair spray on the teased sections to hold the hair. When the hair is a little puffy and high, gently shape it into a messy bun. To keep the hair in place, use bobby pins and slide them into the base of the bun.

In short, no matter how your hair is, it can still suitable for some beautiful hairstyle. Therefore, don’t be inferiority complex with your short hair. Hopefully, after reading this blog, you will have a gorgeous bun with your short hair.
