How to make an Italian bun: step by step
How to make an Italian bun: step by step
Before entering new styles, it is necessary to learn how these bows are made step by step . Part your hair with a side parting, start by separating the part of the bangs and leaving it aside. Now take all your hair to the side, as if you were going to make a low ponytail. Then twist the hair and pull it up. Keep twisting and setting it the way you want. Put bobby pins at the top of your bun to secure it, and then add a few more on the side. Incorporate the part of the bangs by pulling it back and securing the hair with more pins.
What do we do with the tips? If your hair is very long and you have a good portion of hair left over, you can transform it into a bow tie by making a loop with the ends at the top of the bun.

This idea has won us over for its originality. The technique to do it is the same, only that the bun is made with a part of the hair, since the other is gathered in a low ponytail. It is an ideal look if you want to show off your long hair, but at the same time wear a nice updo.
