How to Create a Banana Clip Bun
Prep hair
Before you create a banana clip bun, make sure your hair is free from damage by using TRESemmé Total Salon Repair Shampoo and TRESemmé Total Salon Repair Conditioner. They not only help repair damaged strands but also protect your hair from future styling damage.
Spray hair wax
Spritz TONI&GUY High Definition Spray Wax on your hair to make it easier to shape and style. It also adds a bit of shine to your strands for a neat finish.
Comb your hair
Gather your hair on your nape using a fine-tooth comb. Make sure your hair is already free from tangles so you won’t pull and tug your strands and cause breakage.
Clip your hair
After gathering your hair on your nape, put it into a ponytail using a banana clip. Wear your banana clip vertically with its lock on top.
Create a bun
Twist your hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail, just between the banana clip and your nape. Continue wrapping until all your hair has been put up and you’ve created an oval-shaped bun.
Pin it
Secure your banana clip bun with a big bobby pin. You can also use several small ones to keep your banana clip bun in place.
Done with your bun!
Easy, right? You can quickly put your hair up in a banana clip bun when you need to style your hair in a jiffy. It’s also a versatile ‘do! This hairstyle can complement your corporate-chic suit and pants and help you spell that “I mean business look” in meetings and presentations. The banana clip bun can also let you show off your decolletage when wearing tube or one-shoulder dresses.
