Viral flip through bun?!?

2024/12/11 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, Lemon8 fam, let's talk about the viral Drew Jackson bun! I swear, this flip through bun technique has completely changed my hair game, especially on those lazy mornings or when I’m rocking Day 3 hair. You know those days when your hair isn't quite fresh but you don't have time for a full wash? This flipped bun is an absolute lifesaver, and it looks so effortlessly chic. I used to struggle with getting that perfect, voluminous messy bun, but this Drew Jackson bun tutorial makes it so simple. Here’s how I get my perfect viral Drew Jackson bun in just a few minutes: Step 1: Prep Your Hair (Especially for Day 3!): If your hair is anything like mine on Day 3, a little dry shampoo at the roots works wonders. It adds volume and absorbs any oil, giving your hair that fresh feeling and making it easier to work with. Brush through to ensure there are no tangles. Step 2: Create a Ponytail: Decide where you want your bun to sit. For a classic hoodie hairstyle, I usually go for a mid-level ponytail. If you’re aiming for a low bun for short hair step by step look, place it lower at the nape of your neck. Secure it with a hair tie, but don't pull it too tight; you want a little looseness for the "flip." Step 3: The Magic Flip Through: This is the core of the flip through bun! Create a small opening just above your hair tie, then take the entire ponytail and literally flip it up and through that hole. It sounds simple, but it creates this incredible twisted base. Step 4: Form Your Bun: Now you have a twisted, flipped ponytail. Take the ends of your ponytail and wrap them around the base you just created. You can wrap them once or twice depending on your hair length and desired bun size. Step 5: Secure and Style: Secure the bun with another hair tie or a few bobby pins. Don't be afraid to pull out a few face-framing pieces or gently tug at the bun itself to create that cute messy bun look. This is where the fairy buns hair vibe comes in – just a little undone and whimsical! For a blonde messy updo like mine, these little wisps really enhance the look. Tips for Different Hair Types & Styles: For Drew Jackson bun curly hair: Embrace your natural texture! Instead of trying to smooth everything down, let your curls provide that beautiful, voluminous texture. You might need a few extra bobby pins to secure your curls, but the flip technique works just as well. I find it gives my curls an amazing natural lift. For a Half Up Bun: Section off the top half of your hair (from temples to crown). Gather this section into a half ponytail and then follow the same flip bun steps. It's a super cute way to incorporate the viral Drew bun without committing to a full updo. For Short Hair: Don't think you can't do this! A low bun for short hair step by step is totally achievable. You might end up with a smaller, more compact bun, but the flip out hairstyles effect still gives it that unique twist. Just ensure all your ends are tucked in securely. This updo hairstyle is so versatile. It’s my go-to hoodie hairstyle when I want to look put-together but feel comfy. But honestly, I've even dressed it up for a casual dinner; it can look surprisingly elegant, even with an off shoulder gown if you add some delicate accessories. If you're tired of complicated girls hairstyle messy bun tutorials, you HAVE to try this flip through bun. It’s truly a game-changer!
