Hey everyone Kayley here Today we're gon na talk about how to bobby, pin a bun.. This was the most requested video on my last bobby, pin video. So today, I'm going all out., I'm gon na show you how to do five different techniques which you could mix and match to create the strongest buns of your life.. Once you've watched the video and you've tried, the techniques tell me which technique is your favorite in the comments. After we go through all five, I'm gon na show you some tips and tricks on how to use them.. So we have a lot of ground to cover.. You'Re gon na learn a ton., Let's get started.. So first we have the sewing method., It's exactly what it sounds. Like. You just stick a bobby pin into the base of the bun and then you sew up and down exactly like. You would sew through something catching both the bun and the scalp hair, as you go.. This technique is great for messy buns, because it creates that security without accidentally moving the shape of the bun.. Another way is to place your pin into the bun at an angle catching the hair on the outside of the bun., Then keep going down until the pin touches your scalp., And at that point you turn the angle of the pin up slightly from your head and Push it the rest of the way.. This is almost like making a check sign.. I love this for thick hair because of how much hair it grabs. But FYI, make sure not too start too high on the bun or you'll end up changing the shape of it.. As long as you start lower down, you're gon na be good to go.. Another similar technique, which is great for messy buns, is the corkscrew.. For this. You place the pin at the base of the bun and make tiny circles as you push the hair in.. This is really similar to the sewing method, but with circles.. This does a really good job of netting, the scalp hair and the bun hair together., And especially on fine hair types. This creates amazing hold., Bouncing off the corkscrew method. We have the lockdown.. You do three little circles of the corkscrew next to your bun, picking up hair, as you go. Then pin into the bun. Finish by turning the bobby, pin a totally different direction. And make sure to stay close to that bun. When you start because things may end up looking a little funny, if you don't. An easier way to get that pivot is the bait and switch.. What you do is you come into the bun at an angle, touch the scalp and then veer off in a different direction. That pivot works almost like a knot. And, at the same time, you're sewing together the scalp and the bun hair.. I love this method for any kind of bun., And while this works really great for everyone, it's particularly great for thick hair.. Now you have your techniques.. Let'S get some tips on how to use them.. First and foremost, you should always make a plus sign in your bun. If it's a small one, just intersect, two bobby pins. For a larger one place, a bobby pin to create each line of the plus sign.. Then, if that isn't secure enough criss-cross bobby pins back across that plus sign wherever your bun feels wobbly., This is great with the bait and switch method. Just make sure that those pins, lock, together. And then a quick tangent for baby hairs.. You guys saw this is my back-to-school video, but I'm gon na put it here. Too. Take any pesky baby hairs twist them together and place them against. Your head. Then use that lockdown method to secure them in place., Triple twist lace and turn as many times as you need. And then. Finally, let's demo, all of this together., Starting with the workout bun., I'm twisting and wrapping the bun into place. From here. I'M going to do the sew method. And if that's not enough, you can do bait and switch to criss-cross your bobby pins, and that should give you one secure, workout, bun. And now for a messy bun. One. I have the shape of my bun, I'm going to corkscrew in my first four bobby pins, making sure to catch as much hair as I can. Now. If anything goes wobbly, you want to anchor that down. So go in with the bait and switch, and that is the messy bun. And those are my techniques, tips and tricks on how to pin a bun.. I want you to take what you've learned today and make up your own combinations and figure out what works for you., And I totally recommend sharing this with a friend who also needs some bobby, pin tips and tricks, because we got ta help our sisters out.. It'S not easy learning how to use a bobby pin., So that's it for today's video.. I hope you enjoyed it.. I upload hair tutorials, all the time now.. So to make sure you don't miss one hit that subscribe button or the notification icon., And that is it for today's video.. I will see you at my next one. (, kiss ), Bye,
Comments
Janell Barr: This is literally so helpful. I normally end up with 70 Bobby pins in a bun and it still comes loose an hour later
Fides Espelita: I have needed this for YEARS. I never knew how to stick bobby pins in my hair until this.
Fatima: This is so helpful. I realised today that most of the hair stuff I know is what I've learned from you. Thank you so much for being an awesome teacher
Rem: You're on a roll girl!! All of your recent uploads are so helpful!! I love how detailed you get and the different camera angles you use. Thank you for all the effort you're putting in. We appreciate it so much! ❤️
StylishElements: When I thought I knew everything about how to use bobby pins, I found out I was wrong. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I learned a lot.
Shannon McCarter: I tried out the sewing method on a low messy bun and oh my god! Normally I have to keep redoing my bun through out the day but it stayed put!! Your bobby pin game is strong girl
Ngoc-Mai Phan: Hi Kayley! This tutorial CHANGED my bun game!!! Thanks so much for creating this video! Super helpful and relatable!
cartograp: Oh my goodness thank you for this. I have thick hair and I spent years thinking bobby pins just didn't work for me. These two videos have been soooo helpful in upping my poor pin game!
Elizabeth Yates: these are great tips cause my hair is so silky it falls out of everything in the first 5 mins.
Maiya O'Neill: Yay! It’s the first tutorial that has worked for my thick hair! I used your sewing technique and my bun is PERFECT!
꧁itz me꧂: Thank you! I tried doing a trick to make a bun without Bobby pins (cuz I have never used them before) and it worked, but it unraveled 5 minutes later! So I thought using Bobby pins would be fun to try, especially since it could hold my bun for longer. Thanks♡ *Edit:* Holy cow, it worked AMAZING. My bun lasted _FOR HOURS_ ! I will definitely share this video to my friends! ♡
Willa Zaragoza: Similar to the corkscrew, I love using spin pins (I think they're conair) I use three all around by bun equally spaced apart. They work so well and my bun never falls out no matter what!! ♥️
Andrea R.: Thanks, Kayley, for taking out some of the mystery about using these simple-looking little tools! The line graphics over the video really help to understand what you're doing. Just realized after seeing this video why I had been using BPs upside down (wavy side up, smooth side down) for years. Have been using a set I bought at a Walgreens (long discontinued), after I noticed they were touting a different, intriguing curved design to fit the curve of the head. The curved side is smooth and obviously fits against the head. The top side is also curved, smooth, is shorter than the bottom and is lacking a rubber tip, so not the side to approach the scalp. They never did have much 'grip' and are actually quite light weight and flimsy (as I see clearly now), so I added some 'regular' BPs a while ago to my stash as they seemed stronger. By force of habit I still applied the regulars smooth side down. They just looked wrong the other way, while I wondered about how the wavy side could help with grip. They still worked better than the first set, but not great. Even with improved techniques, by using them upside down, I believe I often was still not getting the most out of them. Time to buy the recommended "good" ones! With these clever techniques I should be able to secure my does even better using fewer pins!
Kelsey rdiz: Literally didn’t know there were so many ways to bobby pin a bun Thanks for the tips
Kelley Williford: I have you say, having thick hair I ALWAYS struggle with Bobby pins and have watched my share of tutorials. This was by far the best one yet! Thanks for the tips!!!
Giovanna Lordeiro: I've been following you since the beginning and you're getting more awesome with Kayley time! I love your videos and the way you teach us, you're my favorite youtuber ever! You always look so kind!
Shushan Arakelyan: OMG! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I COULD MAKE A BUN! I can't express how excited I am, lol. I've been following your channel for about 2 years now, and was only able to more or less reproduce the braids or things that didn't require any pinning in place, since I have extremely thick, heavy and slippery hair. But look at me now, I can make buns and all kinds of updos! Wooohooo! The life's just begun!
Trisha Lee: This will definitely help me with ballet class prep! Thank you!
RobinOrzo: Wow I realize I've been applying Bobby pins wrong my entire life! The baby hair trick is gonna change my life!
Emmely H: I just tried it and it works amazing! When I tried to make a bun it always had a funny shape but not anymore. I have very thick hair and normally i need a ton of Bobby pins but now I can make one with four!
twinklybones: I really don't have too many problems getting bobby pins to secure my buns anymore since I switched to only using the Meta Grip ones from Sally Beauty! They're seriously blessings
Essi Helin: Yay thank you for this video! These tips and tricks will come in handy as buns are my go-to hairstyle for work, school, working out and well, basically for everything in life :D i've been doing them for years but they can always use some perfecting. Thank you for always teaching me something new!

Groetjes uit Verweggistan: Thank you Kayley, needed this! If you make another, I would love to learn how to hide your hairelastic with a pin. I never manage: the hair falls out or the pin sticks out, very annoying.
hulksmashflowers: I've always used the check method, and not even realized it. I thought it was just common knowledge lol Another trick I've learned is if you have a ponytail elastic, make sure to stick the pin into it. That really helps the pin from coming loose.

G_Rivera: This was pretty cool! Great video as always
maya siegel: How do you do a messy bun with long and really thick hair? I have tried so many techniques and they either just don't work with thick hair, or long hair, or just look really strange.
the mini vegan: Hey Kayley! I have the MOST annoying curly baby hairs around my front hair line even though I don't have curly hair. Any tips? Thanks girl xx
kate mcdowell: THAT HELPED ME SO MUCH! <3
Lexie L.: I love your messy bun!!!!❤ Do you have a video for that?
Elena: finally I learned how to use bobby pin! thank you))
Sophie Tran: great video! Do you have any on different types of buns for really thick hair?
jamie vivian: This is brilliant
The Gothic Two-Step: I just prefer something like the second method but using ordinary u-shaped hair pins - kirby grips get bent out of shape, jam together ina way that often leads to them wobbling straight back out and don't hold the hair the way I like at all!. Also, if my bun is at the back of my head and has ended up sticking out too far, I do what you say not to do with that method - start a little higher up , stabbing the pin into the lumpy part, and I actually angle the pin away from the centre of the bun rather than down towards it to well and truly anchor the lump down towards the scalp.
what ever: I always mess up at the "securing" part. I make a nice bun, but i feel that it doesn't stay up if i leave the house like that. I put in more bobby pins for hold - the bun looks weird.
Amber&Sky4Ever: so great! I love this!
BeccaLife: How did you make the buns in this video? What do I do if my hair is too frizzy to move the bobby pin much within the bun?

Melissa Moussa: I have a fullproof technique on how to do a perfect bun: First grab all hair Second twist Third wrap it in a bun form as tight as possible Fourt tie it in place(not with bobby pins) now it's gonna look ugly so Fifth grab the made bun and twist in the other of the way you wrapped it Sixth adujst it to the way you like it with bobby pins if needed and add bobby pins to secure it Hope you guys understood and hope it helped
Rene Alexander: Ily so much! I learned a lot from you ❤️
