Top Tip: Don't wash your child's hair beforehand, unwashed hair is easier to put into a bun than clean hair.

STEP #1

​Hairspray and brush hair into a sleek, high ponytail without a part. Please use a neutral coloured hair tie, not a bright colour.

STEP #2

Twist the ponytail and begin looping around pinning with fringe pins as you go.

STEP #3

As you are pinning, make sure that the bun is as flat to the head as possible.

STEP #4

Wrap the bun net around to secure the hair and pin in place using fringe pins.

STEP #5

Hairspray/gel the hair one last time. Bobby pins can be used to pin back stubborn bits of hair.

FINISHED PRODUCT

The bun should be nice & flat and should sit level with the top of the head.
