Before we begin, this bun is clearly not your everyday bun hairstyle. The look marries some of our most favorite trends like sleek hair and wet hairstyles. This neat, chic, and let’s not forget powerful look can be dressed up or dressed down. Wear this bun to a work meeting with a power suit, a wedding with a cute frock, or out to drinks with friends with a bold wide-leg pant and killer heels.

Step 1: Before you begin your hairstyle, make sure that your hair is clean. Start by washing your hair with the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Color Shampoo & Conditionerif you have color-treated hair. This shampoo will leave you with a clean and frizz-free base to start off with.

Step 2: Apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Color Creme Smoothing Serum from root for frizzed-controlled and glossy hair.
