There's something so chic about a sleek bun hairstyle. I never in a million years thought I would become a fan of a slick-back look. I remember the days in elementary school when I would wet my bangs and comb them with a tooth brush to achieve a perfect 'wet look'. It looked terrible! ha Those days are far gone but now I'm rocking a new sleek hairstyle: the polished low-bun.I've found this look to be really helpful on those days when I don't have time to do much with my hair but I still want to look like I tried. Who would have thought a bun could be so chic?
The steps for creating this look are super easy. The key is finding the right product to achieve the wet look without it looking greasy or too wet. It wasn't too long ago when I shared a tutorial on my channel.For this look, I also used a dry oil mixed with coconut oil. I prefer Dove's dry oil serum but you can honestly use any type of smoothing serum. The first step is to make sure you've straightened your hair (esp the top half) and to part your hair down the middle or more on one side. Depending on how much hair you have and how sleek you want it to look, apply a generous amount of the serum to the palm of your hand. With your other hand, grab a quarter- sized amount of coconut oil and then mix the two together. Next, apply it directly to the top regions of your hair. This includes the bangs, side-burns and crown of your hair. Then, simply grab a comb or brush the sides until you feel it looks sleek and appropriate to tie back. Use bobby pins to secure any loose ends and a medium hold hairspray to lock in the look and ease fly aways (a.k.a the static hair strands).
Wah-la! So easy. Should I do a video tutorial on this look? It literally took me less than 5 minutes to create!
