Buns are easy and incredibly versatile hairstyles. You can wear them at the gym, a party, or a business lunch – the only limit is your imagination! However, mastering a perfect bun is quite a challenge because it may look different depending on the hair type. Gladly, we found a simple crossover bun tutorial that will work for everyone. All you need is a couple of elastics and a few minutes.
The hair blogger and content creator Nichole Ciotti came up with hands-down the best low bun trick for an elegant and classy updo. With more than 30 million views on Instagram, her crossover bun tutorial is worth saving for the ultimate inspo and quick hairstyles. And the best thing is this bun hack only has three steps!
We bet you already know all the fuss around pre-styling products for extra volume and texture. Consider applying a thickening mousse or a texturizing spray to add body to your locks and make sure your bun will last. Then, gather your hair into a low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Add another hair tie a few inches below it. Mind that the size of your bun depends on the distance between the two hair ties. So, if you want a cute small bun, put the second elastic closer to the first one. For a messy and fluffy hairstyle, wear the second hair tie lower.
Split your hair below the second hair tie in two sections as if you’re about to make two ponytails out of one. Fold the pony in half, moving up toward your neck and bringing the two sections above the bun together. Secure both ends tightly with a clear elastic, making sure to leave an opening between the top of the bun and the elastic.
Twist the opening one time if you have short or medium-length hair. Place the bun through the opening and tuck in the ends. If you have longer locks, repeat the process several times until the rest of your hair is tightly secured around the bun. For a more festive look, add some hair accessories. The hair community is obsessed with a new bun trick, leaving tons of compliments in the comment section. “I wish y’all could hear the sound my jaw made when it HIT THE FLOOR! Genius,” one user writes. “Looks so easy! I love it,” another follower admits.
