Low Bun Hairstyles Tutorial: 5 Low Bun Wedding & Half Up Half Down Styles For Brides And Bridesmaids

I'M going to show you how to create some beautiful textured buns on Gwen's hair Gwen has got very fine hair, so I'm going to prep her hair first of all, using a little bit of mousse and some salt spray to get some extra volume and um and A little bit of texture into the hair and then we'll be ready to start styling. If you're working with somebody who has thicker kind of coarse hair, then you can probably eliminate the mousse and the salt spray. So you can eliminate the texturising stage of the styling and go straight on to the styling process. So I'm going to section Gwen's hair! You shouldn't really need to spend more than 10 minutes on this stage, maybe 15 and we're going to start getting some bit of root, lift and some texture in the hair. That'S beginning to feel much so now this also works well. If you are working with somebody who maybe has just washed their hair, so the hair is very soft and silky. So, even if the hair is quite thick and coarse, if the hair is very soft from being over conditioned, then you can always use a little bit of the mousse. The salt spray, so just give you a little bit of manageability in the hair. Want the hair to look soft and gorgeous and silky and shiny, but we don't want it to be too soft. It makes it more difficult for us to style the hair. So this is going to be the last section that I text your eyes. I'M going to leave these little soft bits down at the front here and we can come back and work with those once we've created a style, so we've got the check in the hair. So now we'll start styling. So now we've got some texture in the hair. We'Re going to get a bit of curl and a bit of movement in the hair, then I'm going to show you how to create some different, looking buns at the back of the hair, so we'll just section the hair. First, we've got a little bit of mousse and the salt spray in there now six. It tends to it's a little bit more difficult to separate, but it'll be much easier to work with when it comes to styling the hair, okay. So another section here, you know I'm not going to do really small sections of hair because I just want to get some movement. Let me just go from the tip of each ear. Join those fingers together to get my first section using quite large sections of hair, because I just I don't want a definite curl. I just want to get some movement in the hair, I'm going to get some shine back in the hair, with the style and care lotion and then start curling. Actually you know I might use this whole section. Gwen has got quite fine hair, so I can use much bigger sections because, as I say, we don't need a definite car, but we just want some movement in the hair, so I'm using the vintage curl technique, but you could just as easily use your reverse wind Or you could even do reverse wind with a twist to get that nice little kind of beachy looking wave, you might just pin that in position. Actually, if I did want to go for a definite curl, then I would need to use much smaller sections or, if my lady had very thick hair, my clients had thick heavy hair. Then again I would use smaller sections separate. This crown section into three. Normally would do it with four before using our heated rollers, but here with the three sections on the crown, we have one kind of at an angle coming down into the center as if it's a kind of inverted triangle here, it's about one section here, another there And another there, so we've got the try on that semicircle. The crown area we're going to curl in order to get a little bit of heights here. Actually, you do want I'm going to back home at the crown here, a little bit close down near the root of the crown near the root of the hair. That'S better a little bit of hairspray on there like a primer on the end, smooth that through then in order to get that root, lift I can push that hair forwards, so this these buns do need some root, lift here on the crown. So this is where we're going to start creating that look and I'm going to push the hair forward just to help to get the root lift here on the crown and then, while car keeping the tongs forwards. As if we were using they're working with the heated rollers so where the hair goes forwards at that 45 degree angle and create a curl secure that in position, there are other sections on the crown. So I'm showing triangles are two sections either side of the triangle. So a little bit of backcombing start at the bottom, go up the ladder, a few steps and go back down to the bottom of the ladder a little bit of spray. You do want to make sure that the backcombing is nice and compact all the way down to the root create that height on the crown and curl. I'M going to be leaving some of these little bits down, so we don't necessarily want to go all this hair, but it won't do any harm to have a little bit of a current, a bit of movement in there a little bit of the crack and prime. Your face doesn't want to move, doesn't it let's get that in there, but a bit of a curve, a bit of movement, so we have our curls in and secured in place. We'Ve got a little bit of texture in the hair, a little bit of backcombing here at the crown. So now, let's take the hair out I'll start to get a little bit of extra oomph and volume here, just lifting the curls volumizing everything the good thing about using the tongs, of course, is that you can work quite quickly with the hair so once you've curled The hair you're then ready to start styling more or less straightaway, because we start our curls at the bottom. It'S about how we've got to the top here. Just cut up the curls here at the back are all cooled down, so you can start working straight away and a start. The crown make sure we get our little section. Eight pieces of hair just have a little bit of our list: control cream. Just on the back of my hand and then let's start to work with our sections of hair here and create a lovely PC, looking style work with our last sections. So you just want to position the hair a little piece at a time. So once you've got the hair, all the hair out of the sections, I'm just going to start working with the hair from the front and bringing everything back just make sure you're happy with it. You can't see any back combing, it's better when you're happy the first few little bits and you can pop some grips just across there quite low down and then let's work with the other sections loosen a few of these little bits here. Bring your next section back and secure with a bobby pin. I might even find it for Gwen's hair this, because it has quite fine. I can get away with using the silhouette, but you don't to make it too wet side sections I think about which bits you want down. We can bring the hair back just at the back close to the scalp, make sure happy with where everything is positioned and once you've got the front and the sides back, then we can start creating our buns, I'm finding it a little bit difficult to pull with Your fingers, you can always go in and try your tail comb to pull out little sections of hair, but just be careful, you don't get too much out. So we have our little. It'S almost a half up, half down style and we could leave it there. We'Ve badass the hairs all nicely textured. We'Ve got lots of movement and airiness here, but now, let's create some different little buns first time I'm going to do is that just a little simple low roll, so what I've done? I'M just going to put a little bit of the styling care spray through the hair and just a little bit of styling cream, underneath here just to separate the hair and make it look a little bit sexually, maybe just on the end. So they don't look flyaway and for this little low roll, it's gon na be very easy. We'Ve got a little row of bobby pins here already, but if you feel like you're, you don't have enough of an anchor here. You can always add a couple of little another extra little bobby, pin at the back here, just like that, and we're just going to quickly roll the hair into a little twist using those bobby pins at the back there. As I was, I thought, as our anchor popped them through vertically, just going through the hair back and behind the bobby pin and then everything's really lovely and secure. If you wanted this a little bit lower. But of course you can just bring your little row of grips a little bit lower tweet and pull just the ends of the Hat, and now we could put a little band. I think, on the end of the hair here just hold this together. So when we tuck it away, I can kind of loosen it without it all falling apart and on there twist it around and put that in position, then we can just loosen little bits as we want to, and we've got our first little role loosen and tweak The hair, you can always change, move little row of grips a little bit lower, so the roll is lower down in the nape of the neck, just depending on the position so just adjust the position of your anchor depending on way like the role to sit and Now we'll create a little low chignon, almost like a little kind of soft pleat, so I'll just leave the top half in. We don't need to change any of that. So if you were doing this for trial, run and they're really good styles to try different, looks easily so I'll put a little bound on the bottom to keep everything quite loose and we're just going to roll the hair over to the side and create a nice Kind of fat, low or row just bring those edges in roll that elastic band, we'll just help you to hold the hair together a little bit. That'S the one! So I'm going to roll that! Take that to the side use my bobby pins at the back of the cleats just holding that in so you can feel those pins going in underneath your fingers, you could go in keep that bobby, pin closed and go across the vertical pins that we have there. I need to pull that in a little bit here at the bottom. I think fast. So, if you're doing this for a trial, that's better, you can kind of do these fairly quickly. But if we're doing this for a wedding day, of course, we'd need to take our time play and loosen the hair to get your lovely textured finish. And then we could maybe just pop a little sparkly bit in using it up and over. And there we've got our love little love ro. So now what we want to do we're back to our starting point, our halfway house - and I just want to lose some of the flyaway look to the hair and then what we're going to do is just separate. The hair into two and twist, the hair just around each each section twist around the other just loosely and then we're going to start positioning the hair and we'll create a soft little bun. This way, so we've got our first section here and we use a bobby pin here just at the back of her, so where your finger - or your thumb in my case is holding the hair again to the head. That'S where you're going to slide that bobby pin in keep an eye in the mirror you might need more than one so don't worry about the ends will come back and secure the ends in a second. Let'S just make sure that this first bit of the hair here is nice and secure. So now I'm going to put a bobby pin in keeping the bobby pin closed. You can kind of feel your way sitting go across the bobby, pin that you've already got in there and then we'll twist a little bit more and secure the next section. And then we just keep going and loosely pin and we get a lovely soft little low. Bun and once it's all in it's almost like a little soft rosette and in a minute we're going to start loosening and pulling out the butt when working with heavy hair, you can put a ponytail in the hair before you separate the two sections and then create The bun, if you find the hair, isn't quite holding the position as you want to. You can move up again, so you could go onto you're setting lotion or if you want to go a top gear to the strongest holding spray. You could use your session 3. I would recommend if you were practicing the style on one of your practice heads you can definitely get away with using your ailment, especially on the practice heads, because the hair is quite coarse and it will hold really well with just a light. Hairspray. The softer and silky of the hair, you might find the stronger the spray you need, and there we have our lovely soft, delicious. Looking bun this time. I think what we'll do is we'll get our hair and we'll just put a braid in the hair. Just even out make sure our sections are even and we're going to braid the hair here and just loosely grade. Don'T need to pull the hair out down at the bottom, so it will wrap around itself just a little bit and then we're going to twist that through and grab a little bit of hair and we'll just push. We do have one of these styles and done' on sooner with much longer hair in a quick video section, that's it i can loosen out and create another little soft style here at the back use our bobby pin just to secure that in so these are great Styles, for bridesmaids or for a bride who wants a very soft looking style and we can pull this out and just secure these sections where we think they look good making sure all our pins are hidden. We'Ve got another lovely different, looking low bun, just from one foundation, which is getting the back in position and the sides in position.
