How Do You Do a Ballet Bun for Kids?

Ballet

It’s hard enough teaching a child to do basic hairstyles, let alone more complicated ones like a ballet bun. Ballet buns are the perfect way to have your kiddo looking as pretty as a picture at their dance recital or performance. With a few simple steps and products, you can have your little one with an impressive hairdo in no time!

Step 1: Start with day-old hair. This is because freshly washed hair is too slippery for the bun to stay in place for very long. If your child’s hair isn’t dirty, try using some dry shampoo at the roots for extra grip.

Step 2: Section off the hair and brush it out using a fine-toothed comb to detangle any knots or tangles.

Secure each section with small elastic bands as you go along.

Step 3: Take one of the sections and pull it up into a ponytail near the crown of the head. Secure it with an elastic band and repeat this process with all of the sections until you have several ponytails around the crown of your child’s head.

Step 4: Begin twisting each ponytail individually until they form tight ropes, then wrap them around each other until they form a neat bun shape.

Step 5: To make sure everything stays in place, secure everything with bobby pins crisscrossed throughout the bun shape. You can also use hairspray or gel if needed for extra hold.

Step 6: Finish off by adding some cute accessories like ribbons or clips to give it that extra special touch!

Conclusion

Creating a ballet bun for kids doesn’t have to be complicated nor time consuming if you know what steps to take! With these easy steps, you can have your little one looking picture perfect in no time!
