How To: The Perfect Low Bun

How To: The Perfect Low Bun

via

We hate to say it, but there's a trendy bun in town that may be giving the classic messy bun a run for its money. Bold statement, we know. But for those days you have to look extra "put-together" in a flash, the low bun has your back - literally! We called in hair and makeup pro Marygene Roseto help us put a bit of a professional spin on a notably classic hairdo and here's what happened when we flipped things upside down ...

Step 1. Leaving a front section loose, pull the remaining hair back into a low pony with an elastic band.

Step 2.
Split the pony into two sections and wrap one around the base of your ponytail, covering the elastic.

Step 3.
Tease the remaining half just slightly and tuck it underneath the base of your ponytail with a bobby pin.

Step 4.
Sweep the front section of hair (that was left out in Step 1) back and pin it down just underneath the bun for a sleek look.

Step 5.
Tug at the sides of your low bun, to create a fan-like effect and you're done!

Wasn't that easy?
