What is required to create a hairstyle
The bundle cannot be completed without hairpins, clips, hairpins and invisible pins. With their help, the hairstyle is fixed. For additional fixation, you can use styling products. If, before wrapping your hair in a bun, pre-treat it with mousse, then at the end of the day you can get wavy curls.

To make the bun more lush, you should use a special bagel. When purchasing it, you need to pay attention to the rigidity of the material from which the roller is made. Otherwise, it will damage the structure of the curls. If you do not have such a donut at hand, you can replace it with a sock or a voluminous hair elastic.
How to make a bundle: step by step instructions
A bun for long hair has many variations. Therefore, you should analyze the various ways to create styling in order to choose the right solution for your everyday life.
Traditional beam
The classic hairstyle method involves the presence of standard accessories at hand: elastic bands and hairpins.
To make a traditional beam, you need to follow this algorithm:
- comb the hair thoroughly and collect it in a tight ponytail;
- fold the curls into one large tourniquet, while simultaneously turning them around the base of the tail;
- fix the result with pins.
This styling can be diversified by pulling up a few strands at the temples. This option will seem less strict and will give the image a playfulness.
Bundle of harnesses
For such a hairstyle, it is better to use invisibility. Hairpins in this case will not be able to securely fix the strands and the styling will deteriorate.
To create a bundle of bundles on the head, you should use the instructions:
- Collect the entire mass of hair in a ponytail. The place of localization of the hairstyle does not matter.
- Divide the curls into 3 identical strands. Turn one of them clockwise around the index finger. Fix the resulting tourniquet with invisible ones at the base of the tail.
- Repeat the previous steps with the remaining strands. In this case, twist the second of them counterclockwise, and the third in the opposite direction.
- Add volume to the hairstyle by pulling up the hair in bundles a little. To make the result last all day, spray the styling with hairspray.
Volumetric beam
Lush hairstyle perfectly diversifies the image, giving it a touch of coquetry. The first version of the volumetric bundle assumes the presence of bouffant.
To create it, you must adhere to this sequence of actions:
- Separate the curls from the total mass of hair from the front of the head, comb well at the roots. Fix the result with varnish. Comb through with a wide-toothed comb.
- Pull your hair into a tight ponytail. Move the elastic band away from the base. Insert the index and middle fingers into the formed space, grab the tail with them and stretch, but at the same time leave the tips.
- Shape the bundle with your hands. Gently pin up the ends of the hair so that they are not visible. For a secure hold, spray the styling again with varnish.
The second option for a lush bun involves the presence of a light wave on the hair. You can use a curling iron to create it. You should start creating a hairstyle only after the hair has cooled down from curling.
Then you can use the algorithm:
- Pull your hair into a high ponytail. The last time you thread the curls through the elastic, leave most of the strand intact.
- Form a tourniquet from the hair not stretched through the elastic band. It must be fixed with invisibility at the base of the hairstyle.
- Spread the upper part of the beam with your hands. Spray the styling with varnish.

The second option for hairstyles without an elastic band is impossible.

The second option suggests a slightly different way of using the donut. Therefore, the hairstyle will look different.
To create it, you need to adhere to the algorithm:
- Fix the curls in a tight tail. Attach a donut to its base, passing hair through the center.
