Curly hair tutorial – Easy twisted bun hairstyle

On those frizzy, second day hair days, try this easy twisted bun hairstyle tutorial for curly hair.

Let’s face it, even on days you wash your hair, this bun is perfect for creating a neat, everyday updo. I’d wear this to work, or even weekend lunches when I want my hair up and off my neck. Wearing my hair out in summer is like wearing a woollen coat. I need simple hairstyles like this in my life.

I haven’t tried this bun hairstyle in wet hair yet but I’d definitely try it. Here are some more wet hair hairstyles, and the twists of this bun would dry really  nicely into waves around your face.

Add this hairstyle to your “I only have 5 minutes to get ready” days. And who doesn’t want to save time and still look good?

What you need:

  • Bobby pins
  • Hair elastic (optional)

Step-by-step:

  1. Clip up the top section of your hair, from the top of your ears across the top of your head. This will become the twists later.
  2. Gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail.
  3. Twist it around to form a bun. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place. I don’t like to worry about being too perfect. It’s ok to be a bit messy if you like.
  4. Unclip the top section and create a side part. I like a deep side part but do a centre part if you prefer.
  5. Twist the top right side and wrap it around your bun. Wrap it under your bun. Pin in place with bobby pins.
  6. On the left side, split your hair into two. Twist the lower section back around your bun first. Twist it over the top of your bun.
  7. Twist the last section back. Check that you’re happy with the front of your hair then pin the twist around your bun.
  8. Finish with a spritz of hairspray if you need it.

Styling tips

For straight hair: This style isn’t just for curls! You could create a really beautiful bun with these twisted over sections. To help them hold better, I’d curl the ends of your hair so they don’t stick out of the style.

For hair with layers: This style works well with layers though you may find the twists don’t hold as well. If your twists start to unravel or lose their shape, take a bobby pin and place it along the length of each twist. Slide the pin along the twist to hold it in place so it stays all day.

For long hair: You might need that hair elastic. I haven’t used one but if your hair is long you can do a ponytail first. Then twist it up into a bun. I’d also use a spin pin to hold the bun in place instead of regular bobby pins.

    To be completely honest, my hair could not be more fine and straight, but I love this hairstyle so much that I might just try it on my hair and see how it looks. It’s so cute and simple but definitely adds a nice little flare and change from my usual ponytail or straight & down hairstyle. Love! Thanks for sharing.

    Just did this in my wet, straight hair and it looks fantastic. So if you’re still wondering if it works in wet hair, yes it does!

    hi christina! this look is so pretty. i have a braid dilemma for curly hair that i was hoping you could help with. my hair is a good bit curlier than yours–wavy/curly at the top forming medium sized ringlets toward the bottom. whenever i try a braid it seems to make it really frizzy and it loses definition. i’ve tried little braids as well as big chunky ones and it is still problematic. it just sort of looks like a frizzy strip in my hair instead of a nicely defined braid. help!!

      Hello! I try to work with my curls when I braid so that I don’t break up my curls too much. This makes my hair frizzier. I take sections of whole curls, if that makes sense? I also stretch out my braid a lot which emphasises the shape of the braid. My curly hair always has some frizz, but making the braid look wider helps it stand out more. Hope this helps! Christina x

    Very cute! I like that this style is simple, but has a little more detail than just a plain bun. Of course, my mind always goes to hair sticks. This look would be super cute secured with short hair sticks with floral toppers.

      Thanks Linda, hairsticks would be great for long hair in this style.
