Fancy the elegant bun that Korean women seem to wear so effortlessly? Here’s the secret to how it’s being done.
Step 1:
Brush your hair.
Step 2:
Tie your hair into a loose ponytail using a thin elastic band that is closest to your hair color.
Step 3:
Poke your fingers into the center portion of your hair and pull it apart gently to loosen it a little. This is to create a small opening.
Step 4:
Pull your ponytail up and push it through the opening. This will create a ‘V’ shape hair roll like below.
Step 5:
Split the the rest of the ponytail into two sections.
Step 6:
Twist the two portions together (not too tight) and pull it up.
Step 7:
Stuff the hair into the ‘V’ intersection of your hair roll to make it into a bun.
Step 8:
Secure the hair bun with hair pins.
Step 9:
Voila! By now, you should have an elegant looking bun, which you can simply wear as it is, if you like.
Step 10:
You can also decorate your bun using a nice hair clip like below, or choose one with sparkling rhinestones for a more formal look.
So there you go, the ten steps of creating a classic and elegant looking Korean bun effortlessly. In fact, this is one of the easiest bun to create and only takes 5 minutes!
