1. Part your hair
Part your hair down the middle.
2. Tame the sides and make a ponytail
Use a brush to flatten the hair on either side of your middle part, pulling the hair back into a low ponytail.
Hold the hair taut and secure the ponytail with a clear hair elastic.
3. Braid
Make a braid from the ponytail, starting from behind your head. Then bring the braid forward to finish it.
4. Make a bun
Hold the base with 1 hand, then twist the braid around the base.
5. Stick a pin in it
Take a large hairpin, with a pearl if you’d like, and push it into the ends of the braid to secure the bun in place.
6. Apply hairspray
Apply hairspray to the front to stop flyaways while covering your eyes.
Apply some to the bun as well.
While the spray is still wet, run a fine tooth comb through the front sections to ensure they are extra sleek.

I've been doing this style since I was a child (61 now) I have baby fine hair so the bun is much smaller. I use 3 pins because my hair wants to be straight. You can make the bun higher by adjusting the height of the pony.
