How to tie A Ballet Bun For Short Hair
The Washington School of Ballet Hair Bun Technique for Short Hair
Sharing buttons:
hi I'm Donna glover school manager at
the Washington School of Ballet and
Washington School of Ballet we like our
students to look nice the neat part of
that is having a nice neat bun so I'm
here today to help you do the perfect
button way we do it at the Washington
School of Ballet
we have Carmen joining us today her
hair's a little bit more of a challenge
it's shorter so you know the question is
with Payton we had the long lovely hair
that was a little bit easier you got the
basic idea Carmen's gonna be a little
more of a challenge Carmen's brought
some nice products today she's got Scott
if you could look at this a little bit
she's got a nice hair tie she's got a
love these clips because they really
work to hold the hair up she's got
strong hair pins and she's got some good
weaker hair pins and then a couple of
bobby pins that I probably won't need
and then she's got a hairnet because
she's got a little bit of layering and
you'll see just why that's going to be
so helpful so let's start first brushing
up Carmen's hair I like to put the
elastic around my wrist because then
it's just there and it's an easy grab
and we're going to brush your hair up we
do like the buns at the top of the back
of the head so it doesn't get in their
way for exercises and it along gates
their neck now Carmen's here is a little
bit damp which is wonderful if you have
a hard time with your child's hair go
ahead and keep a spray bottle of water
and that will just help it all stay
together you won't need that much
product with littler children after
class who wants to be washing every
single night out all of that hair
product bigger girls can do it
themselves but let's face it parents
don't have that kind of time every night
so we've brushed it we're going to come
back like this you can see she's got the
littler hairs hanging down there but
that's not a problem we're going to use
the clips for that so go ahead and just
focus on the bun itself you can see
she's going to have a lot of layers
and again we want to make sure this is
as tight as possible
that is perfect
very cute ponytail the water challenge
so we're going to do is we're going to
have our net ready to go you can buy
this almost anywhere in the hair color
see if I can get hers untangled a little
bit usually when they come the envelope
they're all nice and need okay there it
goes great Carmen would you hold this
for me please thank you you can be my
helper so we're going to do the same
ideas with Payton we're just going to
take the bun around and shape it and I'm
not going to get frustrated with all
that sticking out because I know I'm
going to use the net around this thank
you
we take the net and we go around I just
pull it tight and you're going to loop
it around a couple of times because
their buns are smaller once you do that
just be careful not to take the excess
and wrap it round and round around so
that it's sitting way off the top of her
head is we like to be a little bit
flatter to the head so now what we can
do is we can take these nice hair pins
and it's the same sign you go from here
around that bunching of the hair pin of
the hairnet sorry and back around this
way and around
we go homeless there one more great now
that's a nice neat bun so with her we
might want to do a little bit of gel or
something here if there's a special
occasion now what we do when we have so
much hair in the back if you try
spraying it with too much product or
hair spray it gets spiky and it makes
the hair heavier and then it just sticks
out like porcupine spines so sometimes
the easiest thing to do with hair when
you have a lot of it like this is to
bunch it into two groups and twist it so
that it kind of all sticks together and
you're picking up the little odds and
ends and then you take this nice hair
clip like this and you just snap it into
place
same thing over here and it nice and
tight you can do that on the side of the
head with bangs too you can take a nice
tight twist and get it in place there we
go
now let's see oh very nice a little bit
underneath it here so put one more hair
clip in another one over here just make
sure that when she's jumping up and down
in class it's all set and she's great
smile at the camera look at Garman she
looks fabulous
