Hi there! I'm Megan from meganjoy.ca and I am so excited to be a guest blogger. I wanted to show you this simple and quick way to style your hair. A ballerina bun is perfect for hot summer days because it keeps your hair off your neck and it's also great for those "second day" hair days when you just want your hair up and out of your face.
I used the Remington Perfect Bun in Blonde to create this look. I have fine and layered hair so it can be tricky getting all the stray pieces into a bun. I've learned that if it looks a little messy it's ok! It doesn't need to be perfect and it still looks pretty even if you have a few stray hairs.
• Step 1: Pull your hair into a ponytail. Use your hands (not a brush) to give it a more casual look.
• Step 2: Once your hair is in a ponytail slightly tease your hair to give it more volume
• Step 3: Push the ends of your hair through the opening of the Perfect Bun with about an inch of your hair sticking out
• Step 4: Roll the bun towards your head and twist the ends of the Perfect Bun around the hair elastic (there is wire inside so it holds it's shape when you wrap the ends of it around your ponytail)
• Step 5: Spread your hair out around the bun to hide the Perfect Bun and add bobby pins if needed
• Step 6: Use hair spray or styling product to smooth over the bun and tuck in any stray hairs. If there are a few pieces hanging out, don't sweat it. The messier the better!
That's it for this super easy hairstyle. I like the Remington Perfect Bun because you can adjust the size of it depending on how tightly you wrap the ends around your hair elastic. So if you have thin hair like me you don't have to worry about having enough hair to spread across a giant hair donut. And if you have thicker (or long) hair you can create a larger bun too!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
