A quick and easy bun, perfect for dance or ballet!
A few weeks ago we saw this simple and beautiful bun while scrolling through Instagram on an account called "brownhairedbliss." As soon as we saw this "flip through topsy tail" technique, we knew we wanted to try it. My daughter is a dancer, so dance hairstyles and ballet buns are a huge part of our life. ;) Sometimes it can be a struggle to put all of her long hair up, and we get tired of our usual bun makers, donut buns, and sock buns. A standard or braided bun (wrapped around the top of the ponytail) always requires using tons of bobby pins and elastics and can be a pain to take out. So, we were super excited to see that this bun is quick and easy, and that it only requires using one ponytail holder and zero bobby pins!

P.S. Watch to the end of the video to see how to take this bun out and for some tips and tricks. The topsy tail we used can be found on Amazon (affiliate) and in some stores. The brand we use is "Conair."
She tested this bun one afternoon while doing all sorts of trampoline tricks, and it held up and stayed in extremely well (which is quite amazing considering it is only being held together with one hair tie.)
Of course, this bun isn't only for dancers. This updo hairstyle could be worn for many casual occasions such as school, for sports, for cheer leading, gymnastics, to work, to the beach, etc. This could also be worn for more formal occasions; church, weddings, prom, homecoming, communions, recitals, flower girls, etc.
Supplies needed to recreate this bun:
- 1 hair tie, elastic, or ponytail holder. (You will want something sturdy that can handle all of your hair in a ponytail.)
- Topsy tail tool. (Affiliate) The package we purchased contains 2 different sizes. We used the smaller size.
- Finishing hairspray, pomade, or gel (optional.)
