Tutorial: How To Make a Low Bun with a Crown

To get the most out of your hairstyle, clean hair is a must.  We like how TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo and Conditioner gets your tresses in tip-top shape. This power combo reverses the traditional way of washing hair: First, you’ll pre-wash with a conditioner, and then you follow up with a shampoo, which means smooth, lightweight hair ready for styling.

We don’t know about you, but we’re suckers for shimmering locks. That said, before you begin styling your low bun, evenly distribute a dollop or two of oil or a few spritzes of shine spray into your hair for added gleam. Try TRESemmé Botanique Damage Recovery Oil Elixir for the perfect glossy look.

Pinch two thin strips of hair near the hairline for your braid.

Braid two small sections of hair around your hairline in a regular three-strand plait, from the crown all the way to the ends.

Once you reach the end of your braids, secure each with a clear mini elastic or hair tie.

Next, take both braids behind your head and secure with another hair elastic. Say hello to your crown!

Once you have your braids fastened together, gather the rest of your hair, apart from small tendrils to frame your face, into a ponytail, and flip it upside down to begin creating your low bun.

To secure your bun, do the pin-curl method and tuck everything into place from the outside in, all a few hidden bobby pins. Keep in mind that, like hair ties, it’s always best to pick bobby pins that are closest to your hair color for better camouflaging.

You’re all set! To finish off your look, use Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray to get all-day control without the weigh-down or stiffness.
