Today'S hair tricks video is about hair, stick buns. There are many times when we want to just throw up our hair into a bun to keep it out of the way, but we don't have the time or tools to do a fancy pinned updo and we still want the updo to last all day. So here are the three favourite pinless buns of mine that are easy, fast lasts a long time and only require one hair. Stick I'll show you how to do each one and I'll also show you proof of how long the hairstyle lasts, keep watching to learn how to do them on yourself, this first button I'll show you is a classic in the long hair community. This is called a Nautilus button. To start, it gather your hair into a ponytail opit, once around one of your palms now wrap the rest of the hair around the base of the ponytail underneath your hand as if you were choking off the loop of hair that you made around your palm now Slide that loop off your hand and shove the Raps knot of hair through the loop with your thumbs, grab your hair stick and push it into your hair. On the inside of one side of the loop, push the stick underneath the knot of hair in the middle and then push the end out again on the inside of the other side of the loop, and that's it here's how long this bun lasted! For me, the bun number two is called the figure-eight bun make a ponytail again twist up the hair tightly and then wrap it around its base tightly to form a spiral once you've reached the ends, lift up one loop of the spiral and lay it flat against Your head, above the rest of the twist now with your hair, stick poke it into your hair through the top of the top loop push it in through the hair, underneath the crossing part of the figure 8 and stick the end back out through the bottom of The lower spiraled hair I wore this one for a full day of roller coaster rides so check out how it did. Finally number three is a bun that I came up with I've, called it the silk knot, because it's based on the knotting technique. I learned to tie off the silks in my aerial silks classes gather your hair into a high ponytail, wrap the ponytail once around your palm passing it underneath. First, then, over cross the back of your hand, while holding the tail of the hair. Still, with the other hand, spin your wrapped hand in a circle once now grab the remaining tail of your hair with the wrapped hand, and pull it through the loop around your palm pull. It tight pushing the button down against your head, as you do so and then poke your hair. Stick through, like with the last buns, push it down through the top of the bun, throw it underneath the middle of the bun and then push the end back up and out the bottom of the bun. What is your favorite hair? Stick button. Tell me in a comment below and if you like, the hair sticks I used in this video. I got them from the Etsy store, AKC woodworking, there's a link to their shop. In my description box, you should check them out for fun. Fantasy hair sticks thanks for watching, see you again next time.
Comments
Sunja: That moment when you got exited for new hairstyles and then realize that if you wrap your hair around your hand once, there is no length of hair left over... And here I thought my hair was getting long XD
Maria Kramer: This reminds me of when I was in high school, and I would put my pencil in my hair while I was doing homework, and then forget that it was in my hair, so I couldn't do my homework because I couldn't find my pencil.
Christopher: How could I learn to do these for my wife? I ask because my wife only has one arm and I would need to assist with these buns.
Marie: Ever since this video, the silk knot has become one of my staple hairstyles. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome technique. It lasts all day, and it is a great way to get that cute short haired ponytail look without having to chop off my hair!
Phantasma Monkey: Using a pencil, I figured out the first one. I can now justify a trip to Claire's to buy an actual hairstick.
Karla Käse: I always wanted Youtubers to show how long/good hair styles actually last! Thank you!
Charlea: I've only ever used the nautilus but I will definitely be trying the figure 8 bun now. I've made it a tradition to buy a hair stick from every place I travel to :)
Twattle theGayCoin: The first bun has some history! In Joseon dynasty of Korea (1300s~1800s), hair was all the rage. Different hairstyles expressed what social class you were and other things like marriage. For the first bun, it looks a lot like jjokjin meori. This hairstyle indicated you are married. They would braid the hair, which due to tradition would be long, bring the tail to the begginning of the braid, tie it with a ribbon, then have the hair go over the tie (like in the video if the video had a tie), then put a binyeo which is a stick that acts as a pin. Binyeo can be made out of wood or stone for poor people, even slaves, and higher class people can have jade, gold, and others with designs and decorations. The upper class and royals wore jam, which is like binyeo, but made out of the best materials and it had different names based on the design: yongjam for dragon and bongjam for pheonix.
Himedra: Oh my gosh, thank you so much. This tutorial is not only doable, the updo also really stays the whole day. Bonus points for looking so cool. I'm so happy with those (Also just being able to pull the stick out and go all dramatic is so satisfying.)
— fujika —: I’m really happy I found this video and your channel!!! I have very long, naturally straight, find hair (thank you, Asian genes). Like, down to my hips long. I didn’t know how to tie a bun without all my hair falling out or using a clip, but now I can do these hairstyles with a really pretty hair stick! Thanks again! :)
Lisa M. Adamson: I have super long hair and do that last one all the time. I love hair sticks, they work better, are more versatile and definitely cuter than hair ties (ie scrunchies). I love all 3 versions you showed and have already mastered them. Can't wait to wear them out!
MikaNamika: Love the 3rd variation. I tend to get headaches when I use hairsticks because of the pulling on my scalp. Finally my hair was long enough to try this. An effortless and pretty way to get a short ponytail too. Showed this to a friend with the same headache problem and she loves it too.
NoRa: I love the Nautilus and Figure 8 buns! My hair is not long enough yet but I saved this video in my Favorites to come back to this later in the year. Love your videos - thank you for sharing! x Davie
The Edwardian Writer: These were all super awesome, and the idea for your third bun is so unique—I've never seen it before but will DEFINITELY be trying it out soon.
GeoJoah: I LOVE the silk knot bun! Thanks so much for these :)
Crystal: I absolutely LOVE the first one. It works so well.. tight and secure even with my layered hair!
Moon Lightbright: I really love this hair tutorials. My favorites are the second and last. I often do the second since many years now, witch I find the easiest to do, and I will try the 3rd tomorrow because it looks amazing ☺️! Thank you so much for sharing!
Mary Hannah: Thank you! These are so beautiful and simple! We have the exact same hair type and length, so it is even easier for me to follow! Thank you!
Alexandra Perez: SUPER HELPFUL!! Thank you!!!! The second worked perfectly for my short-medium length hair
Tuany Siqueira: I thought I'd never be able to do one of these buns properly (because I have medium length hair), but I managed to do the second bun and it looks really cute! Thank you so much for the video :)
joy: it took me about four months but i finally accomplished the first one! it’s so stable i love it so much thank you!!!!
TempestuousInquiry: for months, this is exactly what i have been looking for! thank you so much for making this!!
cc: Thank you for this video! I have a beautiful hair stick that I never use because I can't make a secure bun that lasts. The best part is how quick and easy these are.
Heather S: I love those wooden hairsticks. Gandalf's staff and the long daggers are musts in my collection.
Mary McGrath: i love these!! thank you so much for the slow and easy to follow tutorial! you rock!
NemoDaFish: ive been using the first one for a while since i've seen this video, and i can confirm, it holds well, and works with very long hair :) I'm back to try to learn the last one, so i can have it in a ponytail
Tarmachan: My hair is finally long enough to do these! I did #1 the other day and it worked a treat, looking forward to trying the others too!
FyreKittah: I have done your "silk knot" bun for years now. It is the easiest bun for me to do quick. Also, if i don't pull the tail through all the way and (i cannot describe it well) push the base wrap through the middle and fan it out it becomes a beautiful stick free bun! <3 Power to long haired natural red heads! (I am one as well, love your channel!)
Deborah Wielhouwer: Absolutely beautiful! I love doing these with my Lilla Rose Swerve upin or hairsticks.
Sam_in_Black: I've been doing a simple twist bun with my hairstick for years but your figure 8 one looks so much better and it doesn't stick out so far! i just wish I could do the last one with the knot and the hair hanging down but my hair is too thick and course to go into the knot. Great video!
Heidi Dages: This was so helpful! I just got 2 hair sticks and I needed some hairstyles! Thank you!
Sanguith: Your hair is beautiful!! Also a real motivation to grow my hair out. I cut my hair pixie-style last year and it's past my shoulders now, so I guess I'll just have to keep playing the waiting game!
Jinny Huynh: These looks are awesome!!! I love it!! Very easy and cute. Please don't delete this video!!! I believe I need more practices in order be a pro like you. Thank you for sharing! :)
Cat Sensei: I did figure 8 bun in half updo, it looks great, thanks.❤️
Japanese Dojo by Matcha Samurai: This is super helpful❣️Thanks so much! I can’t wait to get my hair sticks !
Cam Rub: Thank you SO MUCH ! That's perfect for when I want to have my hair out of the way but still looking nice ! You are awesome ! :D
Pryh Santos: I loved all hairstyles! And I'm already using the third! Hugs and love from Brazil! <3
Sophia Nílsson: I've been doing that last one for years and never knew it was a thing lol!! I also love putting my hair in an aphrodite knot
thisenchantment: Thanks so much! I've never been able to figure out how to get these buns to stay until now. I've had my hair up all day in the last style!
Nudelen: I’m so excited to try all of these! ❤️
tinginfra: this was such a great video thank you! I hope my super curly hair will look okay in a silk knot I so want to try it :)
Mystic Feline: I want to try these so bad but my hair isn't long enough yet. Thanks for the tutorial <3
Akpr25: My hair is really heavy and can never hold a bun, but the third one is somehow holding and it looks great! Thank you so much!!!
firewordsparkler: Just tried the figure 8 bun and it's now my favorite thing.
mfsct0918: I have ALWAYS tried to put my hair up in a pinless pun with the stick and it always falls down. The 1st one didn't work my hair is so thick but the 2nd one, that one I figured out how to modify it slightly using your method and IT WORKS!! Thanks for this trick seriously. Hair ties break, clips break, and I can never find a good way to put my hair up without getting a headache.
Black Sirio: this is so useful for people with really long hair like me. thank you! lots of love
Lauri Barnes: Really good video! i have had a cute hair stick for a while, but never could figure out how to use it. It's much easier than I imagined! Thanks!
emily chan: Love your tutorial, long lasting without the use of hairband!
AvatarYoda: I've been working on the first bun for months. Sometimes it slides down after a couple hours; other times I get five or more hours out of it (by then I'm tired of it and take it down). Today's lasted several hours, including through a change of shirt and a shower. I don't have a hair stick, but I do have two chopsticks that do the job. Thanks!
Yuki-Ryu Okami: Your hair style is so easy to follow thanks
Cindy _: My hair isn't quite long enough in its natural state (it's relatively curly) for the last one but I tried anyway and my hair just makes it through the knot but it staying in place really well and looks nice :) glad I found this
Britnay Lunay: I cut 13 inches off my hair in '19 (cut it to the top of my shoulder blades) & decided to start doing fun things like this with my hair lol fun things that would be easier with long hair! This video helped with doing fancier stick twists, though, than what I was already doing I have fine hair, so it's nice to know it stays!
Katelynn M: Thank you for sharing practical hair styles! I occasionally want to do something besides a boring ponytail and most hairstyles shared are just so impractical for someone with no bobby pins or hair spray or time to spend forever on hair.
Claire: AGHHH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I've never had luck with buns because my hair is so ridiculously and annoyingly thick but these actually work!!!! I can feel the air on my neck now!!!!!
Losmuertosandan: this video is useful and made my day! it's nice seeing how long they stay!!
Julia B: i was TODAY years old when I learned what a nautilus bun was!! I always thought it was just a regular bun and I sucked at hair styling so it never looked good on me! THANK YOU! after 36 years I can FINALLY have a nice looking bun!!!
Rayna Roades: THESE ARE AMAZING- so easy and SO pretty, esp the figure eight one
Calciyum88: Thank you so much - this was exactly what I was looking for. ☺
Hjordis: The second works great for me. Love it!!! Ty
WaddenSeaSiren: I love nautilusbuns! They are so secure, even with a mere bobbypin or pencil. :)
Jamie Sunshine: Mines a combo between the first and the second, cause I do the twisty thing, but nothing fancy. And my hair is a bit shorter so I need two sticks. <3 I love them. They're so much nicer than hair ties in my opinion.
Nisha Jassal: Thank you so much babe! Love the second style. It’s now my go to hahaha
Ariszu Anggari: Ohmmy amazing thank you for sharing this with us I love them all and i try them while watching your tutorial haha I'm struggle at first one and rewind the video for 3x and i got it well now Hahaha thanks sis! I just saw this now cuz' i was thinking on how to use my hair sticks properly since im no good at it
Aliyah Pulido: Me: has pixie cut Also me: watches this anyway bc it's beautiful
Teddy Pawn Crumps: These work with my long curly hair and the hair sticks she buys are fantastic!
Snake 27: Cool ! I love that you showed these techniques , very helpful! I´ve been using a hairstick to put my hair up for a long time now , it´s long , thick and curly and I find that hairsticks are the best thing I´ve found so far to manage my hair.I got my first one as a gift and I never really knew how to use it but I just formed a bun like I would with an elastic and it worked out no matter what way I did it and it always looked like either a messy or neat bun .I looked up some styles before but they involved braids and weren´t really the quick solution . When I didn´t have the hairstick with me in class I would just use a pencil as one . I kind of figured out my own ways of making a bun with a hairstick just by wearing it so often but it comes out different every single time cause I just do it now and I don´t think of a certain way or wrap XDThis is like an " AHA " moment where I finally see that I ´ve used these before without knowing
Sillie82: I wear the figure 8 bun, but then flipped sideways (which makes it an infinity bun, I guess) to work all the time, and I love it. So comfortable and sturdy. <3
Tronderose: The silk knot is now my new fav ❤️
Iris Glas: I wear the Nautilus bun all the time. It really does last all day and it's really comfy. I'm definitely going to try the silk knot bun. It looks fun, having a short ponytail sticking out. Great tutorial!
Judy Mei: Aw I found your little "vlog" sections showing how long the buns lasted really cute! Thanks for such a helpful tutorial, maybe I'll give some old hairsticks a try again! I used to get so frustrated that my hair would fall out due to its length and weight.
Dr Descoudres: Great tutorial, thank you :)
Sarah: I love the Infinity one! I use it all the time in my hair, but now that I have a bunch of layers I can only use it with my hair pulled half up. Still looks cute, though!
M C: Omg I was finally able to get my long hair in place for once and now that its stable i can do my excersize without thinking my hair-tie will go somewhere else! Or inguring my fingures to place it in it feels free to not have to worry about it or at least less weight off my mind, although imma need to get used to this style.
Raeanne Bedard: My hair is suddenly long so these tutorials are great. I usually have my hair mid neck to shoulder length and through some personal stuff I forgot to cut it so now it’s getting long so I need more styles
Darcie Merriweather: I've since this tote of bun for many years and I think they are beautiful and quick
Gleaming Gaze: * sees this video * * realizes I cut my hair * I'll do this when it grows out again then haha
Jisa's Life: Omg! thank you soo much ....And yes! These hairstyles do stay whole day !!!!!
Sarez Shiz: Love em! I used to do the 3rd one all the time, think I still do. Never used a stick though lol
Sirin: pro tip: If you have too short hair for this (at least the first one) it helps if you section your hair into 3 parts, 1 for loop and other two for twist in opposite directions :D
Hufflepuff The Magic Dragon: i have lots of different length layers in my hair and have one side shaved, so i do a dutch braid all along the side of my head, down the back, coil it into a spiral tuck the end in and use a hair fork. it lasts all day in a busy warehouse and looks classy as hell :)
Sara Stenz: The nautilus bun kept slipping, but after countless attempts I just stuck it, so yay :) Thanks for the video!
Anne Clinton: My hair's not quite long enough for the nautilus, but the figure 8 is perfect and holds up really well (even with a colored pencil)! Thanks for showing how well they hold up!
Cat Baril: I loved the last one. trying this soon for sure!
gingercore69: I love the last one ❤️ i wish my hair was long enough for the last one to have a longer "tail" on it... Also, wearing hairsticks if they are strong enough can be a good self defense tool if you like to go all ninja with it ;3
MAY KLUNK: This video is perfect! Thank you for giving me the confidence to try something besides braids. XD
Emma T.: I really like this video. I actually invented my own pinless bun, its almost like the figure 8 :D I miss your videos :(
milessuu.covers: I have a long hair and always forgot to bring a hair tie cuz i'm always in a hurry soo i found this video and it helps a lot. I tried it all, its neat and it last a long time thank you very much
PepperMintBear: Did a trial run of the nautilus bun. It held through hours of school, errands, and a small workout. Had to modify how it's done to fit my thick hair though. Other than that 10/10 best bun tutorial ever.
CutiePie: These look great but I guess they only work on hair that exact length and thickness...my hair is pretty long, but much thicker and I can't get any of them to stay in :( Guess I'll have to stick with your awesome warrior hair ideas instead! :D
Flaggkatten: Thank you so much, you're amazing and I love your videos
Verônica / Akira: Que lindo. Incrível
HatchlingChibi: Beautiful! Okay, this might be a dumb question, but how do you 'un-do' the last one? (ie, take it down). Is it one of those you pull on the tail and it undoes itself? Or is it different? Thanks!
Lord Cabbage: Thank you so much, My hair is awful with buns, but these finally work!
emmett: I have shoulder length hair, so the nautilus just looks dorky on me, but the figure 8 is always my go-to!! I usually use one of my drawing pencils from class instead of a stick though haha
Veerlejf: great video! I've been using the Nautilus for years, but I didn't know it was called that. And maybe it's time to order some more of those sword hairsticks, I constantly get compliments for mine :)
Lis: I swear to god since i saw this like 3 months ago, i dont wear my hair in any other way :'D its so comfortable and easy!
itz_lovarita: This is so helpful for the ones with long hair actually❤️
MrsBrit1: I've done all three of these for several years now and they do tend to be comfortable, sturdy buns, even with my fine, quite slippery hair. I'm currently just beyond classic, but was at knee until 2 months ago.
Fatter Cat: first one works best for me, i can gauge the tightness of the bun by depending on how big the loop is, the other two just falls apart no matter what :/
mleung25: I already knew the nautilus, but I'll have to try your way of doing the figure 8 & the silk knot bun. Hopefully my hair will hold since it's rather slippery... Thanks!
