Q&A for How to Do a Quick and Easy Hair Bun

If these methods take too long you can also use a foam bun tool to make a quick bun. Pull your hair into a ponytail. Then, twist your ponytail around the foam piece and close the metal clasp.

The better you secure it, the more it will last. Use any way possible. Bun nets that are often used for ballerinas are very good and can come with decorations or plain, whichever you prefer.

Bobby pin the loose hairs underneath the bun so they are less noticeable - unless you want people to see it.

Hold your hair up (as in a ponytail) with one hand and twist it until you can wrap it into a bun, then hold it in place and use your other hand to put a hair tie around it and secure it. It may be a bit tricky at first if you have thick hair.

If you have bangs, it'll be easier to tie a bun that is higher on your head so you can pull them back into the bun. Try hanging your head down and gathering all your hair to the top of your head, then sit back up again once you've gathered all your hair. From there, just follow the above steps for whatever bun you want. If you want to tie a low bun, you may have to bobby pin your bangs back if they don't reach the bun (unless you just want to leave them out). Whatever you choose, it is a bit tricky at first and you'll feel like it won't look good, but just practice a few times and don't worry too much about it because this hairstyle works even if it is messy!

Long enough so that when you put it into a ponytail, you still have a few inches left.

Follow these tips -- they work for long hair too!

You can try doing a messy bun, which some people find to be fashionable. You can also try making a sock bun. Lastly, you can also try straightening your hair first, or using a smoothing cream or oil in your hair first; this will help your hair strands lay flat.

Maybe try wetting your hair or straightening it. Then put it in a bun. Also, you could use a rubber band to make sure it stays in place.

You can secure it with bobby pins instead of a basic rubber band, and use a little hairspray. If it still falls easily, you might just have to fix it throughout the day.

Use bobby pins that match (or come close to matching) your hair color. You can also use a little hairspray to tame your hair.

To make your hair less tangled, use a leave in detangling product and use a wide tooth comb. Also, make sure you are shampooing and conditioning your hair enough.

Try using multiple stronger hair ties, and more bobby pins. You can also practice making your bun tighter.

Keep practicing. Watch a few videos on how to do it. You'll get better.

Black or clear would work well. Bands of these types would not be noticeable, and lots of brands make them so you should be able to find some that work for you.

If you practice a little bit, it can be done in less than 10 minutes! It is not that difficult.

If your hair is shorter than your chin, then it won't be possible. But if your hair is a little longer than your chin, then try doing a ponytail and stop before you pull it all the way out.

Your hair might be short if it's curved around your face, but try straightening your hair before you do the bun.

Once you wrap your hair into a bun, you will be holding on to the end of your ponytail. The hair tie will keep the end of the ponytail attached to the bun.

If you have thin hair that is longer, you can double it over and then twist. Gather your hair like you would for a ponytail and hold it with your right hand. Grab the ends of your hair with your left hand. Now start simultaneously sliding your right hand out and away from your scalp as you use it to twist the hair, keeping one or more fingers inside the doubled over loop so that you can keep pulling the tail end in as you twist. Keep pulling and twisting until the ends of your hair have been pulled almost completely into the twist. Now wrap like you normally would for this type of bun.

Honestly, if you want the effect of a bigger bun, wrapping your hair twice is a good option. if you want your bun to appear smaller, try wrapping it around tighter.
