Smooth big long hair bun.

Viewer submission!

Another hit DIY hairstyle from Holley in Seattle. The smooth big long hair bun which she so tastefully decorated with a huge plastic flower. Holley knows how to have fun with her long, thick hair

To get this look, she says

“Start with a ponytail on the top, towards the front. Hair rat underneath the pony, at the base. Spread hair over the rat and secure it with another hair band at the bottom of the ‘hair bulge’.

Part the rest of the pony in two, and wrap each side around in opposite directions one at a time. Secure with bobby pins.

If you rat your hair before wrapping it around, it makes it more dramatic. It just takes practice smoothing it so it’s not lumpy.

I like putting something decorative where the hairdo seems weak. For me, it’s always the back.

Oh, and a tip for making and saving a hair rat is ziplock-bags! They will get dusty if not stored properly and a dusty hair mess is gross”

Thanks Holley for your words of long hairs wisdom!

XOXO.
