The LHC's style of the month is the woven bun
and so I decided I'd start filming videos with that one.
It's a pretty easy bun. Doesn't require any twisting.
You need a hair elastic and two sticks.
They don't have to be particularly sturdy sticks because you're not going to be sticking them in after you've created the style.
You're sticking them into a ponytail.
which doesn't require as sturdy of sticks because you don't have to reverse them.
Which can be a problem for people with thick hair like me.
So, let's get to it.
So, you start out by making a ponytail.
You want to...you probably don't want to make it too low
because this is going to be round.
I don't really know how to explain it better than that.
So, ponytail.
(murmuring): Ah, I think I need to go around one more time.
Okay. And now we're going to be crossing these sticks, like an X, in our ponytail.
I don't know where I heard this, or if it's even true, but I heard that it works better if you insert the sticks through the elastic
So, like, between the twists around.
So it's actually going between them. I don't know if you can see that, but...
(murmuring): Okay, and [unintelligible]
Approximately 90 degrees. It's a bit hard to get an idea of what 90 degrees is sometimes, but...approximately is good enough.
Then divide your hair in half, like this, and stick half of it out of the way.
(muttering): because we're not using that until later.
And then divide it in half vertically, and put the bottom half out of the way.
And then this part is...basically it belongs to this section of the hair.
So, you go under the nearest stick
Over the next one
And then under
over, under...
Over...you've got the idea.
All the way around
And then check that--now, sometimes, you know, tucking works without pins, and sometimes it doesn't.
And I think that now is not going to work without pins. So-
Okay. Now, we take--
My hair gets everywhere; it's very difficult to work with.
--the top half of this one
Is that--no, I think it's...yeah, it's this one. Under...
I'm not sure if it makes a difference which one you do next as long as you keep going in the same direction. Under, over...under.
Under...This one ended in about the same area as the other one
which does happen with this bun, because you're not going at the...the circumference of the circle which you're making isn't the same.
So it's going less distance around, as far as it travels.
and then sometimes it works out that they end up in the same area.
Under...
Over...
Under...
Over.
And then the last one.
Under...
Over...
Under...
Over...
And again, about the same area.
Oh, that's all [unintelligible]. My pins are running up against each other.
[unintelligible]
Okay, so...end result!
And that's how you do it.
