How To Style The Perfect High Bun — 5-Minute Style

First, allow hair to dry 75 percent of the way. Apply a thickening spray from root to end on very slightly damp hair. We like to use UNITE Tricky Lite.

Flip head over and blow dry completely. Using a paddle blush, pull hair into a high ponytail on the top of your head. Secure with a clear plastic band.

Twist the tail into a bun and secure with bobby pins or another clear elastic band.

To ensure a flawless, frizz-free and flyaway-free style, smooth hair on the top and bottom of the ponytail by spraying your brush (or the palm of your hand) with a strong hold hairspray and run it through hair. We love the UNITE Session Max Hairspray for a sexy style.

Fake It ‘Til You Make It

If you feel like you don’t have enough hair to make a picture perfect bun, add some oomph by using the Conair Hair Bun Maker System or Sarah Potempa’s Wrap Up.
