A while back I was talking about chignons and I showed you an example of a more complicated hairstyle I do when I have the time. A week ago during the Five Bun Challenge (FBC) Day 4 I did another chignon-ish style -- the Knot Bun.

Knot Bun Tutorial
Happy Six-Weeks! To celebrate a Probation-Free semester, I have a tutorial for you.....
A while back I was talking about chignons and I showed you an example of a more complicated hairstyle I do when I have the time. A week ago during the Five Bun Challenge (FBC) Day 4 I did another chignon-ish style -- the Knot Bun.
The style is elegant, chic and good for those of you who are not braid inclined!

FBC: Day 4
Presenting for the first time: the Knot Bun.
I found this bun a while back on YouTube, but my hair wasn't long enough to do it. My hair is still a little short for this (mostly because it's so thick) but with enough pins, it works out well. And holds surprisingly well. It did remind me, however, I need to invest in a few hair combs for styles like this when I need to pin down a thick mass of hair.
Will post instructions for you long-haired ladies out there at a later date. =)
Enjoy!!!!

FBC: Day 3
[We're back to poor quality pictures. Sorry.]
A guy once told me that a sock bun was "the only neat bun a girl can do." For me, they're a nightmare; the sock never stays put and to keep my hair in place I have to cake on styling paste. To get a similar look, I do today's bun.
Gibraltar Bun
This bun is great because it's sturdy, it holds it's shape really well, and for those that are prone to split-ends it saves the ends of your hair. You will need to be able to make a little more than one full turn of your hair.
To do: gather your hair like you would do for a normal bun and twist up, keeping two fingers (opposite hand of the one that is twisting hair) inside the first coil you make. Twist the rest of your hair around, tuck the end under and hold it in place with your thumb. Using both hands take this first coil and pull it out and around the rest of your bun. Make sure that coil is securely over the rest of your hair (especially that tail end). Using bobby-pins, secure all around on the edges.
Tune in tomorrow -- I found a brand-new bun I'm going to test out. =)
