Princess Star Bun

This hair do is my ultimate favorite – I think. It really is simple, and looks way fancy! Great for church, dance recitals, and even prom!

Here is where you choose to do a half the hair, or you could do a full pony tail. I have sectioned the front of her hair because we are growing out her bangs.

I recommend using a strong elastic for the main pony. Also for the rest of the hair use fun colorful, or nice sparkly  or clear elastics….the elastics make the hair do, so make sure you have good ones!

From the pony tail section the pony into 6 sections, and put the elastic about 1” away from the main pony. WET HAIR WILL BE BEST!

I use clips and helping hands to hold some of the sections. Make sure that you evenly make the sections in a circular form!

Okay that was the hardest part. Good job!

Now you will take half of one of the sections and combine in 1” down to half the the adjacent section. Do this 6 times.

Depending on the length of hair, you can add one more row or two. You don’t want too long of hair left hanging out the edge of the star.

So I did one more row of combining adjacent sections.

When you get finished this is what it looks like. Craziness!

Then push the ends of the hair in toward the main pony. I find the ends hold better if you can actually tuck them back into the main pony tail holder. If not hide the ends with bobby pins.

I added just 5 curls to the back of her long hair to fancy up the bottom, and put a bow inside the bun.

This is my version on the baby hair. The bun just sat on the top.

This was my oldest going to school.

For a tighter bun that is not very big just do less sectioning and hide the ends well!

What do you think? Are you going to try it?
