What You Need
U-pins: U-pins work best with this updo as they do not require being pulled apart and pushed in the way bobby hairpins do which can be uncomfortable or break your hair. All you need to do is pinch the U-pin together, slide it in and then release it. The U-pin stays in place once the ends spread again. Hair elastic: Try using snag-free hair elastics or hairbands (pictured). Also, for the love of all that is holy, never use those office stationery rubber bands because they will ruin your hair by causing breakage. Paddle or comb out brush: You gotta get rid of those knots and tangles in your hair. Light hold hair spray: Just a spritz or two of a light hold hair spray should help keep your bun in place.
