To get rid of the ends, twist them and wrap them around the underside of the bun. Secure the bun with a hair tie.

Adjust as desired and there ya go! Add a headband if you like, and you’re out the door. This is one of my favorite bun hairstyles for work, and I didn’t even need to use bobby pins.

Sectioning off hair at the top

1. Section and create a loop

Start by taking a section right in the middle of your head and tie it off with a hair tie for now.

Then, do the same thing with your hair right underneath the one you just did. Except this time, instead of pulling your hair all the way through, create a small bun. You should now have two half up sections.

Pulling the top section through the loop

2. Pull the top section through the loop

Put your fingers through the small bun you made to create a small loop. Then, grab the end of the top section and pull it through the loop.
