How it is done

  1. 10:28Start with blow-dried hair and heat protectant, then press it silky straight with a hot comb followed by a flat iron.
  2. 22:00Part out your bang.
  3. 32:29Gather the hair into a base ponytail, then take it down and redo it to catch any loose strands.
  4. 45:07Use pre-stretched braiding hair, adding more if the bun looks too small. Blow-dry it briefly to knock out its waves so it matches your silky hair.
  5. 56:08Lay the braiding hair on top of your ponytail, right in the middle, and wrap a band around the base twice. Flip the front part of the braiding hair back so it all becomes one ponytail.
  6. 66:38Brush it out and set aside a small piece to cover the base of the bun later.
  7. 77:12Twist the braiding hair and your own hair together, keeping your hair on the inside, about halfway down. Then wrap it around itself to the base and tuck the end underneath.
  8. 88:06Wrap the piece you set aside around the base of the bun so it's flat and smooth. Use spritz to control flyaways and tuck the end underneath.
  9. 98:52Curl the bang and any loose pieces you left out, then set them with spray.
