Brush or comb your hair to remove tangles
Gather your hair into a high, mid, or low ponytail
Secure the ponytail with a hair tie
Twist the ponytail tightly
Wrap the twisted hair around the base to form a bun
Tuck the ends under the bun
Secure the bun with bobby pins or another hair tie
Use a small claw clip if your hair is too short to wrap fully
Smooth flyaways with gel, hairspray, or a light mist of water
Pull out a few face-framing pieces if needed for shorter layers
Use a bun maker or sock bun if you need extra volume and hold
