Healthy, happening hair is where it’s at to make a guy or gal look and feel like “all that.” Whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight, thick or thin, blonde or black, your hair is the frame around your face, the crown jewel of your head. One hairstyle that is particularly popular, elegant and playful is the twisted bun.
A bun (also known as a bobtail) is a type of hairstyle where the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited, and wrapped in a circular coil around itself. Buns are typically pinned on the top of the head, the back of the head or the back of the neck and can be secured in place with a hairpiece, a hairnet, bobby pins or clips.
There are many types of buns, including the twisted bun, the ballerina bun and a French bun twist. The twisted bun is the most popular bun and the easiest bun to do yourself.
How to Make a Twisted Bun:
- Put your hair in a ponytail.
- You can rest the ponytail high on your head or at the nape of your neck.
- Hold your ponytail in your hand and start to twist it near the ponytail headband.
- Continue to twist your hair until the hair is completely wrapped and twisted.
- Now twist, starting at the base of the ponytail, until the ponytail is in circles on your head or the back of the neck, or wherever you want to secure the bun.
- Hold the bun in place with your hand as you insert bobby pins to secure the bun to your head.
- If needed, spray hairspray to help hold the bun.
- Hair gloss or hair shine sprayed over your fabulous upbeat hairdo polishes off the look.

The twisted bun is easy to do and provides a feminine, youthful look. Twisted buns work best for shoulder length hair and longer. Knowing how to make a hair bun allows you the opportunity to instantly change your appearance and have fun with a stylish, trendy, cool hairstyle.
