How to Create Your Own "Flowery" Valentines Day Side Bun
- 1). Comb through your clean, dry hair to remove any tangles. Start at the ends and work your way up if you have kinky hair.
- 2). Part your hair to one side using a comb. Make sure the part falls on the arch of whichever eyebrow you choose for the part.
- 3). Use your hands to apply a hair gel to the hair shaft. Finger comb the product through to evenly distribute it and prevent any flaking from too much product on one area.
- 4). Secure your hair with a hair elastic so it makes a ponytail, and then braid your hair. Keep the hair taut when putting on the elastic, so that the ponytail will be neat.
- 5). Hold the tip of the braid as you coil the braided ponytail around itself to form a bun.
- 6). Use bobby pins to secure the bun to the base of the ponytail. You must also pin down any flyaway hairs at the base or braid.
- 7). Insert flower hairpins into the braid to decorate it and give it a flowery, romantic look. The flowers can sit anywhere on this look, so choose an area that flatters your face best.
- 8). Finish this style with a silicone-based shine hairspray. The silicone will add shine and smoothness without frizzing the hair.
