Sleek Low Bun

Long • Styled look

A sleek low bun is hair smoothed back from a centre part and twisted into a neat, round bun at the nape of the neck. It is also called a slick back bun. It works for straight and wavy hair past the shoulders and takes about ten minutes with a brush, a tie and a few pins.

A little smoothing cream and a brush give the flat, clean finish; a few natural flyaways keep it soft. Twisting before wrapping makes the bun round and secure. It lasts all day.
