Preparing Your Hair for Styling

Preparing your hair for styling is an essential step that can make a significant difference in the outcome of your look. Proper preparation not only enhances the hair's manageability but also helps protect it while promoting overall health and shine. 

Tie your hair into a secure, compact bun before attaching the Mum Bun, this can be positioned at a high, medium or low height, but we suggest if you're opting for a low Mum Bun, ensure it is not too close to your clothing; high collars or oversized fully jumpers are not suited to a low Mum Bun as they could interfere with the style.

It's all in the Wrap

Now your hair is prepped in a small compact bun, it's time to attach the Mum Bun. Place the Bun over your natural bun, then insert the top and bottom combs, and then tighten the drawstring. Now the bun will look like a small pony attached to your bun, some women like this lightweight ponytail style and often choose to wear the bun like this. 

However, if you're looking for the Mum Bun look, this is where you wrap the bun. The wrapping is a crucial stage in the process. Here are some tips for achieving the perfect wrap:

💫 Wrap the bun in the direction the hair naturally falls for a relaxed shape

💫 Don’t go too tight – Wrapping too tightly can lead to an awkward shape

💫 If you’re not happy with the shape when it’s in, use extra grips to adjust it into the shape you want
