How to Style Your Afro Bun Hairpiece
An Afro Bun hairstyle is an easy, low maintenance hairstyle that looks great at parties, and at home. It has the unique feature of being both casual and elegant. An Afro Bun consists of a thin, straight cut that begins to wiggle on top of the head, then falls smoothly to the nape of the neck. There are two forms of an Afro Bun; the traditional Afro, which are the most common, and the modern version known as the ponytail.
An Afro Bun hairstyle is generally a secure, flat black hairstyle that's secured with either a clip or with an adhesive fastener designed to resemble a curling iron. The secret to this fun hairstyle is a thick, voluminous base which lends the hair the desired bounce for that style. To achieve the right effect, ensure your hair is thoroughly washed and conditioned, and opt for the easiest cleanse possible - shampoo only, and use conditioner to manage any greasy build-up. If you find using shampoo too harsh, try an organic option instead, which will help retain moisture without weighing your hair down.
To start your style, lay your hair in a horizontal position to give better volume - an Afro bun should look great from the front and back. Take a section of hair in the front to begin with the hair furthest away from the face, and use a comb or a Bobby pin to start taking the hair at the scalp and gently pulling it towards the side. Keep adding tension as you work your way from the crown to the side. Once you're happy with the amount and style of hair, comb the rest of your hair backwards over the bun, keeping any natural wave in the style.
If you have slightly wavy / curly hair, this is also a good section to work in a ponytail. Take your ponytail and starting from the centre, snip off a few inches from the end, and slide the ponytail through the rest of the strands. For best results when putting your hair into a ponytail, ensure there are no sharp or broken ends on either side of the ponytail; this will ruin the whole look. To finish your Afro Bun hairpiece, secure it to your head by clipping a small piece of hair tape along one of the ends.
You can finish the look off with some accessories. A fascination or headband will be great to frame your look, and if you don't already have one, you can pick up a cheap version online. A pair of stylish sunglasses will complete the look for the best effects. Finish off your look with black, red or turquoise eye shadow, and lip gloss to bring out the color of your hair.
This is also a great hairstyle for work or a night out. It helps to give a polished and professional image.
