A bundle is perhaps the most common and universal version of styling hair styling, notable not only for the convenience of creation, but also for pleasant restraint. However, owners of short hair often have to face difficulties in creating such a hairstyle. Having considered simple ways of styling a bun for short hair, you can permanently get rid of these problems.
Features
First of all, you should decide on the length of hair that is acceptable for creating a bun. Professionals argue that it should reach the level of half a neck - otherwise styling problems will be inevitable. If you collect hair in the back of the head, hair should remain in the tail with a length equal to the width of the palm.
Before starting styling, you should wash and dry your hair - this will give them additional volume without using additional funds.
Owners of thin, sensitive or dry hair should resort to the use of special mousses before drying. But do not exaggerate with the quantity - the main thing is that the product should be applied in the most important, root zone of the hair.
Deciding to make a bunch at home, it is worth considering that without using hairdresser's tools it is almost impossible - you will need a minimum set in the form of an elastic band, several hairpins, invisible, and also short hairpins 45 mm long.
In the case of hair at the level of the middle of the neck, you should get a special "bagel" or rubber band of large diameter.
However, this diameter should not exceed half the length of the hair, if counted from the base of the tail.Obviously, for short hair, the bun should be braided in the back of the head - when you lift it, the lower part of the hair will fall out of the hairstyle.
Kinds
Plain
The classic version of the beam is good in that it can be easily braided in any part of the head. It is worth considering the size of the head and the physique of a woman - the size of the beam should not be out of the picture. The simplest method for creating such a hairstyle is twisting a usual ponytail into a tourniquet and securing it.
Volume
This option looks more impressive and at the same time requires more effort and tools - the hair collected in the tail should be passed through the “donut” in the shape of a circle. The last stage is fixing the ends with a thin rubber band. Also, the ends of the hair can be hidden inside the bun using hairpins.
A small treatment of the finished hairstyle with mousse or varnish is recommended to add volume.
On the side
The so-called “Greek hairstyle” is a terrific and uncomplicated solution for a bun. Here you will need special rollers for short hair, which can also have artificial curls to give additional volume. As accessories, ribbons, lace or bows can be used.
Obviously, to create such a hairstyle, it is necessary to do a side parting in the hair. Further actions are similar to the case with the classical beam.
Careless
For a casual walk with friends or going to a party, an intentionally sloppy bun of curly hair would be a great option. To create such a hairstyle, you first need to curl small curls, and then collect them in the tail and tighten with an elastic band at the back of the head or crown. The resulting hairstyle can be divided into several equal parts with small elastic bands.
French
One of the varieties of beam design is the presence of a French braid. It is created from a curl in the forehead. As a beautiful accessory, you can use weaving a thin ribbon into a French braid.
With braids
When braids are braided in a bun with short hair, a shortage problem may arise. As a rule, the process begins with the allocation of 3 strands and a gradual transition to wider pigtails, which are finally fixed with an elastic band.
How to choose?
By hair type
Owners of curls should remember that creating a bun will be complicated by the volume of hair. Also, upon completion of the hair collection, it will not hurt to distribute individual wavy curls on the surface of the head with hair clips or small elastic bands. If you do not want to perform such actions, you will have to resort to straightening your hair with an iron.
Straight and more obedient hair is easier: here you can try and experiment with pigtails, asymmetries or accessories, without worrying about possible problems.
By face type
When choosing the size and type of the beam, it is worth paying attention to the face - in the case of a wide and rectangular one, it is worth stopping at volumetric and spontaneous options so that the beam does not get lost on the head. With a narrow and small face, on the contrary, a large beam size will translate into itself too much attention and look ridiculous.
How to put hair in a bun?
We will consider in stages how to assemble a bun for short hair with your own hands, which hairstyle options are created most quickly, and in which cases you will have to spend more time. First you need to collect the necessary tools. Of the necessary, you need a thin comb, gum of different sizes, as well as invisible hairpins.
It is important that the comb is made of wood or ceramic to avoid electrifying the hair.
Speaking of a large gum "bagel", it is worth considering that you can do it yourself. To do this, you need to twist a durable stocking with cotton wool or other filler sewn into it. First, the hair must be thoroughly washed, dried and combed. Next, the hair traditionally needs to be collected on the back of the head in the tail, if necessary, correcting the incorrect styling with mousse or gel.The resulting tail is threaded into the gum to the very bottom and then, separating the small strands, you need to wrap them around the gum and secure it with a hair clip.
The final touches can be a narrowing of the beam using an additional thin elastic band (it is important that its color is in harmony with the color of the hair), as well as laying the ends of the strands by twisting them around the base and securing with hair clips.
In the event that the hair length is categorically not enough for a bun, you can resort to artificial curls. They need to be fixed with care so that real hair overlaps the bases of the artificial ones.
To braid a more complex bundle, for example, consisting of two flagella, it is necessary to divide the hair parted into 2 large strands. Next, each of them must also be divided in half and twisted into a bundle each resulting curl. Then the finished harnesses must be braided together in the same way. The ends of each side strand are fixed with an elastic band and tied together with a classic knot. In the final, after fixing the hairstyle with hairpins, she can be given additional volume with auxiliary means.
To create an airy and playful bun for a holiday or party, you need to follow a few simple steps. First, divide the hair into about several identical strands - depending on the length and volume. Each of the parts must be twisted into a bundle and combined with hair clips. As a result, it takes about 10 minutes to create a simple and beautiful beam.
The technique for performing this hairstyle is given in the next video.
In addition, the bundle can be decorated in the form of a wreath of two flagella. For this, it is necessary to divide the hair into 2 parts with an oblique part and braid each of them from the temple to the back of the head, adding free curls to them. From the edge of the hairstyle is fixed with hair clips. It is also important that all hair is picked up and hidden in flagella - not a single free tip should remain.
Jewelry & Accessories
Sometimes insignificant looking details can add a hairstyle to elegance and elegance. Consider accessories that will help to decorate the bunch without too much effort. The simplest option is an elegant mesh bag with a “donut”. It will help maintain the volume of the beam and prevent it from blooming, and also make the hairstyle neater. The mesh is worn on the finished bundle and secured with pins. It is important that the size of the bundle is commensurate with the size of the mesh, and also that its color is in harmony with the color of hair and other accessories.
An interesting addition to the beam will be a stylish scarf or bandage. Two options are possible here: to fasten the scarf in the back of the head, bending its corner forward and tying the remaining edges at the forehead, or folding a scarf in the shape of a ribbon and knitting in a classic way. Straight and obedient hair is appropriate to decorate with hairpins along the parting line.
Sometimes narrow ribbons of various colors can be woven into the created bundles or braids. During braiding, small multi-colored elastic bands can also come in handy - they will add a hairstyle to ease and brightness.
Do not forget about stylish bows - they can be knitted both from scarves and from scarves of any color. Size can also be varied - the fantasy is decisive here. To fix the bandage, it is necessary to bend the hair under it and fix it with invisibility. Owners of bangs should think about a retro-style hairstyle - its essence lies in combed and crisscrossed hair on the crown of the head, if desired framed with a scarf or scarf.
One of the most fashionable and proven options is popular in the past. pin-up hairstyle. To create it, you will need rollers for curling hair in elastic curls in the area of the forehead and crown, as well as tools for creating a bun in the back. Short hair is not a hindrance to the "pin-up", and additional decorations in the form of ribbons or hairpins will add zest to the image.
