Ribbon Swirl Bun Hairstyle Tutorial

Visit princesshairstyles.com for more hairstyle ideas!

We are excited about our tutorial this week, as this style is quite unique and beautiful! It reminds me a little bit of our pinwheel bun (youtube.com/watch?v=G-SE5GiS4IA) which is one of our all time favorites. ;)

"The Princess" is planning on wearing this "ribbon swirl bun" for her 4th of July hairstyle this year. Although this is a great holiday hairstyle, it really can be worn for many different occasions. Of course, you can use any color of ribbon, yarn, etc. to accent your bun and change up the look. For example; elegant sliver or white ribbon would make more of a sophisticated or glamorous updo which would be pretty for a wedding, prom, or other formal occasion. Brightly colored ribbon is going to stand out and "pop" more for a festive and fun look. I think this hairstyle would also be adorable for Christmas time (using red or green ribbon.) The swirling design reminds me of a lollipop! If you want to add more than one color, you can definitely do that as well. Or if you prefer not to use ribbon at all, 2 strands of hair could be used to make the waterfall twist instead. If you are a dancer or gymnast, this style would be great for dance recitals and competitions!

We love the waterfall ribbon twist braid and have used it in several other hairstyles on our channel. Find the "waterfall ribbon twist rainbow ponytail" here: youtube.com/watch?v=rAT4MHadWh0 And the "Aztec carousel braid" here: youtube.com/watch?v=tuYIrcfdrqA

As mentioned in our video tutorial, there are several different ways you could finish this bun. With the remaining ends, you could add a braid, a twist, or even make a starburst (or never ending) braid! youtube.com/watch?v=gC4VEFoilos

The bun maker or "hair donut" shown in our tutorial can be found in most beauty supply stores or discount stores. I have actually even seen them at the dollar store from time to time. If you do not have one, you can cut the toes out of a sock and roll it up to achieve a similar look.

This hairstyle should work with long hair, medium length hair, straight hair, wavy hair, and possibly curly hair.
