Easy High Bun with Scarf Wrap Tutorial | Elevated Updo Hairstyle

Hello it's Missy, thank you so much for watching. To create this hairstyle, I'm going to begin by dividing out any hair that I want left out around my face. Then I'm going to take the rest of my hair and combine it all together into a really high ponytail. I'm going to use a brush to smooth out the sides and then take a hairband and tie off the ponytail. Now I'm going to take a scarf and do a half knot tying it over the hairband. If you're using a scarf that is slippery like silk or satin, you can use a hair elastic to help secure this portion of the scarf to the ponytail. It makes it a little bit easier to work with. Then I'm going to carefully slide the scarf down the ponytail until it reaches near the ends. Now I'm going to take the center of the scarf where I knotted it and begin rolling the hair into a ball, slowly continuing up the ponytail until the hair is rolled up to the hairband at my head. Now holding the bun with my left hand, I'm going to carefully wrap the sides of the scarf around the outside of the bun so they meet at the back and I'm going to tie it into a knot at the base of the bun. Again, if you've used a more slippery type fabric, I recommend using some bobby pins to help pin the top of the bun in place against the head. Otherwise the bun might slip loose because of the style of fabric of the scarf. I did this style twice and ended up using a couple bobby pins to pin the inside of the bun so they're hidden underneath the hair. Then I used a medium to firm hold hairspray to smooth down the edges of the style and lay flat any pieces that are sticking out from the updo. Let me know what you think about this technique down in the comments and I'll see you on the next tutorial.
