DIY Hair Friday……The Geisha Bun

IMG_3737Happy #DIYhair Friday my dears!

This little beauty is sleek and sweet and quite simple to do. It is a low bow-bun!

This hairstyle works on medium to long hair of any texture……If your hair is very thick, make sure you have some large bobbies ” target=”_blank”
on hand to secure the style. If your hair is very fine and slick, use a texture spray to give it some grip. I like this DIY beach spray.

Here is how to do it.

geisha bun1. Begin with the hair in a low, sleek tight ponytail at the nape of your neck.

2. Back comb gently throughout the ponytail to give it some fluff and oomph.

3. Now, take your ponytail and section out a small strip from the bottom. Leave this part out. Take the rest of the hair and hold it tightly to the head on the left side of the ponytail. Criss-Cross pin the ponytail to the side tightly.

4. Now take the ends of the ponytail and roll them over the criss-crossed pins to the opposite side of the ponytail. Pin the sides of the roll to the head vertically with large bobby pins. Use the small section that you left out to make the wrapped center of the bow by bringing it up and around the top of the bow, and pinning it behind.

SO pretty! Will you send me a photo of your version of this gorgeous low-bow Geisha hairstyle?

XOXO, HTHG
