Lori always leaves a small section of the ponytail to use to wrap along the bottom of the bun. This helps to hide the hair pins and create a smooth, finished look.

A grander tiara will also work with this hairstyle - the look would then feature the headpiece instead of the hairstyle. A hair comb placed in the back, below the bun is another option.

If you have straight hair you're off to an easy start with this hairstyle. If your hair is curly or wavy your stylist can blow it out and use a flat iron before the styling begins.

Weather Watch

If it's a hot, humid day you could have trouble keeping this sleek look, so think about what the weather will be like as you consider this style for your wedding day.

The Long and Short

Your hair should be several inches below the shoulder in order to achieve this full bun. If your hair is shorter, but still long enough to pull up in a ponytail, you can get the same look with a hair piece like our Mini Fall Hair Extension which simply gives you more hair to work into the bun.

Get the Look

To begin styling, Lori pulls the hair back into a high ponytail, rolls the hair under and pins it below. She always leaves a small section of the ponytail to use to wrap along the bottom of the bun. This helps to hide the hair pins and create a smooth, finished look.

Lori's Secret Styling Tip

For added fullness and stability, Lori places hair padding at the base of the ponytail then combs the ponytail over the padding before she pins the style into place.

Accessory Tip

To finish off the look, Lori styled our model with the Crystal Regatta Earrings and then placed a small tiara comb at the crown. A piece like the Eve Crystal Tiara Comb will complement the hairstyle instead of competing.
