Ballet Bun (No Donut used)
This is a simple way to do a bun. I turn to this when I really can not be bothered to “style” my hair or if I just want a simple protective style that takes less than 5 minutes.
Requirements for look:
- Medium to long hair (you will need to be able to twist your hair around and then wrap it around to form the bun.)
- A hair bubble to tie the base ‘ponytail’ (maybe one extra to have extra hold.)
- Bobby pins (optional) – I use them to hold the bun down in place.
- Gel (optional) – if you want a sleek finish at the base.
How to do the style:
I start off with a ponytail and use my Spray Leave-In Conditioner to make sure my hair is moisturized before I tuck it away. You can click on the images below for step by step instructions.
-
- Starting with a ponytail
-
- I very lightly spray my hair with my DIY Spray Leave-In Conditioner
-
- I keep my second hair bubble ready for later
-
- I begin to wrap my hair around itself in a twisting motion.
-
- Once done it will look like this
-
- I start to form the bun by wrapping my hair around the base and tuck my ends underneath the bun
-
- Using my second hair bubble I secure the bun
-
- I use about 3 bobby pins to hold down the bun
-
- Voila!
That’s it folks!

I really like the tutorial you did of this bun. Is it OK to sleep in this bun or let it be for a week? I want to be able to wear a bun and have it last all week of possible.

Hi Dyonteniece,
Thank you and thank you for commenting!
I actually do not sleep with a bun in my hair for a week. I do not really suggest that just because buns can put stress on our edges (even loose buns can put on pressure that is not normally there when our hair is down). I recommend that perhaps every other night with a scarf around your edges. The remaining days I tend to take the bun down in a loose ponytail and a scarf around my edges. In the morning I touch up my edges and just redo the bun. Also I like to remoisturize my hair during the week so regardless I end up redoing my bun at some point during the week. Hope that helps! Thanks again 🙂
