In this tutorial we use a Banana Leaf hair stick to create a high bun. This generally suits shorter hair but can work with other types of hair too.
- Plait your hair from from behind, down the centre of your head, hold it tightly.
- Lift the bottom of plait to the top of your head.
- If possible, tuck the end into place.
- If your hair is very long, you may have to fold the plait instead first, and then pin to the top.
- Use the hair stick to secure the top of the plait.
- Weave your hair stick it through multiple layers of hair until firmly in place.
We have more styles for hairsticks that are specifically for shorter hair lengths.
