How To Achieve The Trendy Slicked-Back Bun

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Tuesday, May 21, 2024

It's possible to create a slicked-back bun, no matter what your hair type is. Start with fresh, clean hair and use a detangling brush to get out all the kinks and coils. Next, part your hair — middle or side, whatever your preference. Here comes the hard part: brushing your hair back and pulling it into a ponytail, using scrunchie to secure the ponytail. Get ready to use some serious arm strength and don't forget the gel or hairspray so those flyaways are laid down.

Pony secured? It's bun time. You can either craft a bun or use a donut. Both have their pros and cons — a donut will give you that perfect bun look. Simply wrap your ponytail around the donut, making sure the donut isn't shown, and tuck any extra hair into the bun with bobby pins.

A makeshift bun, on the other hand, is more of a freestyle. Wrap your ponytail around in clockwise motions and secure it down with extra rubber bands and bobby pins. And, there you have it — get ready to rock this chic look.
