Hairstyles: Sexy Loose Bun How To

Jeanne, San Diego Hair & Makeup Stylist:

Hi, today I'll be showing you a simple way to do a loose bun. First we dry the hair completely using a blow dryer. Take a small amount of wax or pomade into the palms of your hands, and then emulsify the product to smooth out the fly-aways. Pull your hair back as if you're about to do a ponytail, smooth the baby hair and the loose hair with your palms.

You want to curl the ends by using a medium sized curling iron, large or small depending on the style that you're going for. Now that we complete the curls, you want to pull your hair back into a ponytail. Grab the hair, and smooth out baby hair and all the fly-aways with your palms that have wax.

You have options for different hairstyles -- you can create a high bun or a low bun depending on the occasion. Today, I'll be doing a low bun. So create that ponytail, hold the hair up like this, get the bobby pins and secure the sides by taking sections of the hair; create the loop and pin. Make sure it's balanced from both sides. And then now if you want to dress it up for a special occasion you can get hair accessories. And that's how you create a simple bun.
