Geisha Bun

This modern day geisha inspired bun is fast becoming my signature hair style. I love it becuase it is so quick and easy to create, and looks nice for both the office and the weekend. Every time I wear it, people ask, 'how did you do that?' In reality I saw how to create this look on other various beauty blogs, but decided to show you incase you've never seen how yourself.

This is my weekend version, a little messier and casual. For the office, just take a bit more time ensuring hair is smooth and bobby pinks are hidden.

You Will Need:

-medium to long length hair (If it's TOO long, it won't work unfortunately)

-brush

-hair elastic in the color of your hair
-bobby pins
-hair spray

-1 small clip like these ones:

1.Brush all tangles out of hair and smooth into a high pony tail at the crown of your head

2. Bring the pony tail straight up, and curve it towards the front of your head and back towards itself at the base in a loop.

3.Secure the pony tail ends to your head with the claw clip

4.pony tail should fold over slightly to each side - secure any loose ends with bobby pins. 

Here's a (very) basic sketch I did in case you aren't quite sure.

Pull pony tail straight up:

Loop pony tail towards front in a circle and secure with clip:

It should look something like this:

I've never done it, but for fun you can also jazz the look up with a sparkley barette or summery flower (once summer finally comes, that is)

Good Luck & Have Fun =)
