Creating a ballet bun with short curly hair can be quite a challenge. It’s not only difficult to manage the frizz and volume of the curls, but also tricky to fit them into a neat bun.
However, it is possible to create a beautiful, symmetrical ballet bun with short curly hair. With these steps, you can make certain that your bun looks professional and polished.
1. Preparing the Hair: Prior to styling the hair, you need to ensure that it is properly prepped. Since curly hair can be prone to frizzing, it’s important to use a good anti-frizz serum or mousse.
This will help keep the curls in place and provide a smooth look when creating the bun. Additionally, you should also make sure that your hair is dry before attempting this hairstyle as wet curls won’t hold their shape when styled into a bun.
2. Parting and Pinching: Once your hair is prepped, you need to part it in the middle of your head. This will create an even base for your hairstyle.
Get two sections of equal size on either side of your head and start pinching them at the top portion near the crown of your head. This will help lift up your curls for better control when styling them into a bun.
3. Securing with Bobby Pins: At this point, you can begin securing each section with bobby pins or other hair clips. Be sure to use enough pins so that each section stays firmly in place while you’re styling them into the bun.
4. Twisting and Wrapping: Now comes the tricky part – twisting and wrapping each section around itself so that they form an even shape when combined together into one big bun. Take your time here as this step requires patience and practice in order to achieve an even shape.
5. Securing with Hair Elastic: Once both sections are twisted together nicely into one big bun, secure it with a hair elastic at the base of your neck area where all the curls come together. Make sure that it is tight enough so that all of your curls stay together while dancing.
Conclusion: Achieving an elegant ballet bun with short curly hair may seem impossible but with these simple steps – prepping, parting and pinching, securing with bobby pins, twisting and wrapping up – you can make certain that your hairstyle looks polished and professional for any occasion!
