Ballerina buns were all over the runway this year. There are so many variations of the ballerina bun. You can wear it messy, low or high. Personally, for going out I prefer wearing it really high and with all fly-away hairs sprayed down. I like to look polished and glossy and this look makes it happen. For relaxed dinners and parties, I like a messy bun. I tease the hair with a tail comb and gently spray down.
It is really simple to emulate. I find it works best on hair that has been washed a day ago.
Here is a step by step guide to how I put my hair up:
Step 1: Brush your hair and pull it into a high pony tail wrapping it around an elastic band. Pull the pony tail so it is nice and tight.
Step 2: Brush the ends of the pony tail and then wrap it around the base of the elastic band. Try not to wrap it too tight as it will lose the shape.
Step 3: Secure the bun with bobby pins around the head.
Step 4: Spray the hair with shine spray and and tame any fly-aways.
I like to team this look with lots of highlighter on my cheek bones. You can’t hide with this look so make sure you apply a nice bright lip colour. This really is a great look for going out. I will be wearing my hair like this over a few parties over the festive season. Think of all the time you'll save on blow dries!
