How To Tie Bun With Clutcher |
The Great Gather: Assembling Your Bun Arsenal
For this follicular feat, you'll need a trusty crew:
- A brush: Because even the most gloriously messy bun deserves a starting point that's not entirely reminiscent of a bird's nest.
- A hair tie: This trusty lieutenant will hold your hair in a preliminary hold before the clutcher swoops in for the finale.
- The Clutcher: This is your secret weapon, the knight in shining...well, plastic, that will transform your hair from a chaotic mess to a masterpiece (of sorts).
Bonus points: Hairspray (for extra hold, especially if you have slippery strands) and bobby pins (for those flyaways that just refuse to cooperate).
Bun-believable Moves: The Clutcher Technique
-
The Pre-Bun: Brush your hair back into a high or low ponytail (depending on your desired bun placement). Secure it firmly with your hair tie.
-
The Twist and Tuck: Here comes the magic! Gently twist the ponytail into a loose coil. Now comes the fun part: Using your fingers, tuck the ends of the hair coil underneath the base of the ponytail.
-
The Clutcher Captures: This is where your star player takes center stage. Slide the clutcher horizontally through the base of the bun, pinning it securely against your head.
-
The Final Flourish: For a polished look, gently smooth down any flyaways with bobby pins. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, loosen a few strands around your face for a touch of "I woke up like this" (wink wink).
Remember: Perfection is the enemy of the messy bun! Embrace a few loose strands and a slightly imperfect shape for that effortlessly stylish look.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Bunanza Bonus Tips:
