How To Tie A Bun Man

Unlock the secret to effortlessly styling your hair with a sleek and sophisticated man bun. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to elevate your everyday look, this step-by-step guide will lead you to bun-tastic perfection. Embark on this hair-styling journey and discover how to create a man bun that will turn heads and leave you feeling confident and stylish.

Begin by gathering your essential tools: a brush or comb, a hair tie, and some styling product (optional). If your hair is long and thick, a hairband may provide better support. Start by brushing or combing your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles or knots. This will ensure a smooth and tidy base for your bun. Apply a small amount of styling product to your hair, such as pomade or gel, to help control flyaways and add definition.

With your hair prepped, it’s time to gather it into a ponytail. Position the ponytail at the desired height on the back of your head, considering the length and volume of your hair. Secure the ponytail with the hair tie or hairband, ensuring it is tight enough to hold the hair in place but not so tight that it causes discomfort. Now, you’re ready to transform your ponytail into a stylish man bun.

The Braided Bun

Step 1: Create Two Ponytails

Divide your hair into two equal sections, one on the top of your head and one on the bottom. Secure each section with a hair tie.

Step 2: Braid Each Ponytail

Take the top ponytail and braid it into a three-strand braid. Repeat this step with the bottom ponytail.

Step 3: Bring the Braids Together

Once you have braided both ponytails, bring them together and cross them over each other. Secure them with a hair tie.

Step 4: Create a Looped Bun

Take the crossed braids and bring them up over your head, forming a loop. Secure the loop with a bobby pin.

Step 5: Secure the Remaining Hair

Take the remaining loose hair and wrap it around the base of the bun. Secure it with bobby pins.

Step 6: Add Details and Embellishments

To dress up your braided bun, you can add hair accessories such as ribbons, flowers, or beads. You can also create a side braid or pull out a few face-framing strands for a more casual look.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

You will need a hairbrush, a comb, a hair tie, and some bobby pins.

Step 2: Brush and Comb Your Hair

Brush your hair to remove any tangles or knots. Then, comb your hair to distribute the natural oils evenly throughout your hair.

Step 3: Tie Your Hair into a High Ponytail

Gather all of your hair at the top of your head and secure it with a hair tie. Make sure the ponytail is tight enough to stay in place, but not so tight that it hurts.

Step 4: Create a Loop with Your Ponytail

Take the end of your ponytail and pass it through the hair tie. Then, pull the end of your ponytail through the loop that you created.

Step 5: Tighten the Bun

Pull on the end of your ponytail to tighten the bun. Make sure the bun is tight enough to stay in place, but not so tight that it causes discomfort.

Step 6: Secure the Bun with Bobby Pins

Take two bobby pins and cross them over the bun. Then, push the bobby pins into the hair at the base of the bun. This will help to keep the bun in place.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

You can add some finishing touches to your bun to make it look more polished. For example, you can use a hairspray to hold the bun in place or you can add some hair accessories.
