Creating a ballet bun with short and thick hair can be difficult. It often requires more steps than creating a bun with longer hair and may take a little more time and effort to achieve the desired look.
With the right tools and techniques, however, anyone can create this classic hairstyle.
Start by washing your hair and allowing it to air dry to create a smooth base for your bun. Once your hair is dry, use a wide-toothed comb to brush out any tangles or knots. To make styling easier, you may want to apply a leave-in conditioner or styling cream prior to combing.
Once your hair is combed, use bobby pins or clips to section off the top half of your hair from the bottom half. Starting with the bottom half, brush out any remaining tangles before gathering your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure with an elastic band.
Creating The Bun:
To create the bun itself, separate the ponytail into three even sections. Twist each section around itself in an inward direction to form coils that will become part of the bun shape. Wrap one coil around itself in a circular motion until it forms a circle shape, and secure with bobby pins.
Repeat this process for each of the remaining two coils until you have created three circles that are stacked on top of each other and secured with pins. Once all three circles are secured in place, use additional pins if needed to help shape the bun into desired style.
Finishing Touches:
Finish off your look by spraying hairspray over your bun for extra hold and shine. Once complete, you can add decorative accessories such as flowers or ribbons for an added touch of elegance.
Conclusion:
Ballet buns are one of those classic hairstyles that never go out of style – but they can be tricky to do on short thick hair! With some patience and practice though anyone can create this beautiful look using just a few simple tools and techniques.
