Start with dry or slightly damp hair
Brush hair to remove tangles
Apply a small amount of texturizing spray or dry shampoo
Gather hair into a high, low, or mid ponytail
Secure the ponytail with a hair tie
Twist the ponytail tightly
Wrap the twisted hair around the base to form a bun
Tuck in loose ends with bobby pins
Use a second hair tie or small elastic if needed
Pin shorter layers close to the scalp
Spray with hairspray to hold the style
Use a bun donut or hair padding for extra volume
Make two mini buns if hair is too short for one full bun
Create a half-up bun if the full length is too short
Use gel or edge control to smooth flyaways
Secure the style with extra pins for thicker short hair
