Get the Look: Rope braid bun with baby hairs:
Step 1: Layer Sebastian Professional Potion 9 cocktailed with Sebastian Professional Dark Oil and spread it through the hair for smoothness.
Step 2: To personalize, create your desired parting or leave out a few hairs around the face.
Step 3: Secure hair into a low ponytail and create two rope braids, then wrap the two rope braids together and secure with bobby pins.
Pro Tip: Embellish the bun with a string of rhinestones or tie a silk scrunchy or scarf around the bun. For example, I embellished a low bun with a string of colorful rhinestones for Christian Siriano’s Spring 2020 runway collection at Paris Fashion Week to help emphasize the whimsy and opulence of the designs
Get the Look: Messy ballerina bun:
Step 1: On damp hair, spray Sebastian Professional No.Breaker and brush through.

Step 3: Gather hair into a high ponytail and in two strands, loosely twist around the ponytail and secure with bobby pins.
Step 4: Lightly spray Sebastian Professional Shaper to finish and pull hairs out of the bun for a messy look.
