Hi guys welcome back, I'm so excited to share today's video. It'S a very chic and elegant low bun. It gives me a serious girl, Fox bag, but it's really quick and simple to do. I really think you guys are going to love it. So, let's just go ahead and get started first things first for this hairstyle you do want to start off with pin straight hair and real quick to prep my hair. I use the John Frieda Frizz Ease flat iron spray. I love this stuff. I use probably about 4 to 5 spritzes on damp hair and then I just roughly blow-dry it in a downwards direction. And then I just sectioned off my hair and I straightened it and I find give me the straightener a little bit of a bend really helps to give your hair a nice finish and then, before I tie my hair back really quickly. I'M just going to take a comb and I'm just going to section off small pieces of hair from in front of my ears. I find this helps give the hairstyle a more modern appearance. Alright comb, all of your hair back ensuring that it's not free then take some gel. I'M using this light, cold gel from Herbal Essences, but any gel will do you could use dippity-doo your boyfriend's gel, doesn't matter! You just want something to smooth down your hair. Oh and make sure to gel those neck hairs too. Next, you want to gather your hair into a tight low ponytail. This is probably the most time-consuming part of the hairstyle, but just keep smoothing it down with a comb or a bristled brush and then once you're happy with it just tie it off super tight with the hair elastic about three fingers up from the nape of your Neck and for a little bit more volume at the crown use the end of your comb or you could use your hands and just pull upwards on the back of your hair and it'll, give it a little bit more lift. Alright. Are you ready? Take your left hand and place it underneath your ponytail right at the top of it. You want your palm facing out with your thumb at the top and then just grab a hold of your ponytail. Now, with your right hand, you want to grab your ponytail and begin wrapping. It clockwise around your hand, once you've wrapped it. You just want to try your best to keep it nice and tight to your head. Then, with your left hand, you'll just want to place your index finger and thumb through that loop. We just created all the way to the other side like this. Do you see them all right, pointer and thumb are through? You just want to use them to grab the tail of your ponytail, and you want to make sure that you are grabbing all of the hair. Then you just want to pull the hair through the loop, try to keep everything nice and tight. So when you're pulling your ends through, it should be a little bit challenging, especially if you have thicker hair. So basically, all I did here was tie my ponytail in two and not so once you've tied your hair, you want to pull it nice and tight and then just slide the bottom of the knot to the left, and this is going to create our little bun. So if you're struggling just try to visualize tying one piece of string and knot - and this is the same thing and then you just want to secure at the top with some bobby pins, just hook some hair and slide them downwards. Now, if it doesn't come out as leak or as tight as you wanted, just untie it and give the knot another go and tell you're happy with it all right once the top is pinned into place. You just want to tuck your ends underneath to hide them. So if your ends are shorter, just hide them at the very top, and if your ends are long, just bring them across the top and tuck them underneath the right side and then just secure them with some bobby pins to add shine and hold. I just sprayed some hairspray into my palm and smooth down the bun and just make sure that you are smoothing it in the direction that the hair is going. So do you guys love it? I think it's so chic. Yes, so simple to do and you guys it only took me: are you ready four and a half minutes to do? I know, but this hairstyle is definitely different than my usual style. It'S a little less effortless, but I'm really digging it, and I did my bangs a little bit different to you, they're kind of ariana grande inspired. What do you think, but I really hope you liked today's video, if you did please give it a thumbs up, actually hurt me fingers, so I can bend it right now. So you know what, if you see this, leave this emoji down below, but thank you guys. So much for watching I'll talk to you in my next video bye,

Bubbling Waffle: Oh... I was like "How did she get a bun like that ?" but it turns out it's the same bun I've been doing since forever :P It's just that I never did it as a low bun, only a high one on top of my head. Also I have dark hair so you can't see as much detail as for yours. They hold so well though ! Definitely my top bun, especially for fine silky hair. Personally I don't tie them with bobby pins though, but with those zigzag/curly scrunchies. They're great to hold fine hair~
