GENERAL ASPECT OF THE BOHEMIAN BUN : THE STYLED-TOUSLED

The bohemian bun is not a bun worn on the top of the head. Generally, it is preferred at the nape of the neck, like a low ponytail. It is fluid and loose, but remains styled. This is what we call the styled-tousled look. 

Styled-tousled was invented in the 1970s by Jacques Dessange, famous French hairdresser and businessman. It was originally a graduated bob with volume that left the strands to wander with the wind. The styled-tousled has then been declined in several ways and now refers to a cut or a hairstyle falsely unkempt. That is to say, a hairstyle that gives the impression of not being groomed when it is quite the opposite. 

Thus, the bun bohemian has a loose, slightly tousled look. Once again, it’s the fluid aspect of the bohemian style that can be found in the smallest details thanks to a hairstyle like the bohemian bun.  

THE TOOLS TO USE TO MAKE THE BOHEMIAN CHIC BUN

To secure the bun, you will need classic elastics or hook elastics. Hook elastics have the advantage of allowing freedom in tightening the ponytail which forms the base of the bohemian bun, but a classic elastic will work just fine too. However, it is recommended to avoid hook elastics on fine and smooth hair, as they can slip and therefore not have the desired effect. 

Next, you will need snow pins and flat clips to secure the small strands and give the airy look of the bohemian bun. Remember to vary the sizes of the snow clips to best adapt to the different strands. 

Finally, to style the hair, opt for a brush to a classic bun and a comb which will serve to separate the hair. This will give a look glamorous to the hairstyle. 

THE TECHNIQUE TO CREATE A BOHEMIAN BUN

STEP 1: WAVING THE HAIR 

Initially, it is advisable to curl or wave your hair to give the fluid and airy look of the bun. This step is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended for all women who have long hair smooth and fine.
