Double Twist Bun

     I love playing around with braids and twists when creating a fun, new bun hairstyle. They can easily add uniqueness to an ordinary bun. This is a hairstyle I created using mainly twists fastened and secured with bobby pins.

Step 1: (from top right to bottom left) Separate two fairly large chunks of hair from the front section of your head, and fasten the rest of your hair in a ponytail at the base of your neck.

Step 2: Pick a front section of hair, and begin by separating two small strands at the top close to your eyebrow. Begin to twist the two pieces, adding in hair from the bottom each time you wrap. This should create a very defined twist. Secure with a hair tie and repeat with the other chunk of hair.

Step 3: Take the ponytail, separate it in to two sections, and twist the pony as well. I left hers without a hair tie, but if your hair doesn't naturally stay, use one to secure the end.

Step 4: take the ponytail and wrap the now twisted tail around to form a bun. Secure the inside with bobby pins and try to flatten out the edges of the bun with the use of bobby pins.

Step 5: This is where it gets "complicated" (not really) take one of the twist and position it over the bun, securing the twist to the head at the right angle. Once it is secured, take the piece that is still dangling and pull it back toward the side it came from. Wrap that piece around the bun and secure the end with a bobby pin somewhere beneath the bun hidden.

Step 6: Repeat the same process with the other twist. You have some freedom to play with this look, but it works great for a shopping trip or a fancier prom/formal event.
