Big Bun Hair Advice....Help!

[FabMum1]

Help me ladies. I'm going for a night out with my wonderful husband and have decided that with the dress Im wearing 'hair up' is the way forward.

I would love a big, smooth bun (maybe like a bride would have on her wedding day? but I don't know where to begin. What accessories would I need? What styling products? Or is maybe a hairdresser the way to go ?

You need a hair bobble, a hair donut (from boots) and a loads of kirbys and hairspray. Pull your hair into a top ponytail, slip it through the donut and gently backcomb to create volume. I use a tailcomb to then smooth the hair down over the padding and poke it underneath. Fasten with kirbys and loads of Elnette. Much easier than it sounds. look on YouTube. There is bound to be loads of tutorial clips.

a big smooth bun is easy peasy (depending on your hair length)

You need some hair grips, hairspray and a bun doughnut the colour of your hair.

You put your hair in a pony tail, and either:-
Slide the bun doughnut to the base of the ponytail and cover it with hair - then pin it in place (or you coul use another hairband)
or
place the bun doughnut at the ends of your ponytail and roll the doughnut up your hair and then pin in place.

I'm am rubbish at doing fancy hair styles and even I can do this very easily

I do buns with two bobbles - put hair into ponytail, then slip donut on, spread hair out, then slip second bobble over the whole thing. Then you just need to wrap the ends round and hold then with hairpins (not kirbys). Really holds solid

if you look on you tube as fly suggested search for sock bun - it's the same thing just using a sock as the doughnut.

A sock! Imagine if your do fell aprt - that would take some interesting explaining! I'm going to try it though. Obviously.

Spin pins from boots are wonders.
I am a teacher and were mine up like this daily using these.
Come in dark brown and blonde are amazing - used to have have hair in a ponytail which was not good! I feel happier now I feel confident lol :)

A hair doughnut, will have a look out for one.

The only prob is my hair is quite long, will this work ?

It worked when my hair was waist length. If your hair is seriously long, you can smooth over the ring, gather and plait then put that round, but I've never had enough length

My hair is past my shoulder blades and it works. You need the doughnut for structure and uniformity. I've just tried the two band method and it is good.
