Pinterest inspiration boards often feature twisted buns because the twisting technique adds visual movement to the hairstyle. The twists create curved lines that spiral into the bun, making the hairstyle appear elegant without becoming overly decorative.
The twisted ballet bun also distributes the hair evenly around the bun’s base. This helps maintain a balanced shape and prevents uneven bulges within the hairstyle. The result is a bun that appears both structured and refined.
Step-by-Step Guide
Start by brushing the hair smoothly toward the back of the head. Gather it into a ponytail positioned slightly above the nape of the neck.
Divide the ponytail into two equal sections. Twist each section individually in the same direction so the strands remain tight and controlled.
Once both sections are twisted, wrap them around each other to form a rope-like structure. This step helps the twists hold their shape.
Wrap the twisted rope around the base of the ponytail to create the bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins placed around the edges.
