- Hi, my name is Bonnie Argo
and I am a super Disney fan and professional hairstylist
and today I'm gonna show you how
to do a fun bun inspired by Mulan.
And I couldn't do it without the help
of my friend BrandyLynn.
Are you excited?
- Yes. - Me too.
It's gonna be so fun.
What we're gonna do is pull her hair up
all the way to the top of her hair,
really tight so we can start off that bun
really nice and secure.
What is you favorite part about Mulan's adventure?
- She meets other animals.
She meets like a raccoon, a hummingbird,.
- [Bonnie] Mmhmm, and do you remember
her little friend's name?
- Oh yeah, Mushu. - You remember Mushu?
- Yeah. - He so fun, isn't he?
- [BrandyLynn] Yes.
- Okay so what I'm doing here
is just securing it with a ponytail holder.
Nice and tight.
On the top of her head.
Any kind of bumps, I'm just gonna bobby pin those down
to make sure that everything is nice and secure.
Okay, so now I'm gonna take a ribbon.
It's a pretty long one,
just 'cause I wanna make sure I have enough length
and what I'm gonna do is tie that around her ponytail holder
and you can use any color.
I like, since BrandyLynn does have that nice,
pretty dark hair, we're gonna use this white.
And then I'm just putting a double knot at the top.
Okay, so now what we're gonna do is braid
one piece of the ribbon into the rest of her hair.
Just a classic braid using one of the pieces of the ribbon
as one of the strands.
So I'm taking three strands like a classic braid.
And I'm gonna begin braiding it into the hair.
So do you like to do any artsy things?
- [BrandyLynn] Yes, I like to draw Mulan and princesses.
- [Bonnie] How do you do that?
- So you just look at a picture
and then you draw her face.
Then you draw her eye.
Then your mouth.
Then the hair and then the body,
then you just draw your whole outfit.
- Okay so when you're done with that,
I'm going to secure it with a ponytail holder.
Just an elastic, a dark one.
At the end here and then this is a really fun part.
I'm going to take this braid and kind of just spread it out
to make it bigger and more textured
before I start intertwining it into the bun.
And I still have this piece of ribbon here left out
that I'm gonna use in just a second.
Instead of doing like a bun like this,
I want it to be pretty high.
So you can kind of play with it, however you want.
I'm kind of looping it forward and then I'm gonna
pull through from the other side
to make her top knot.
And it doesn't have to be perfect
and you can kind of just play with it
until you get what you want.
And then what I'm gonna do is take that ribbon,
the other ribbon and tie it together.
And I'm gonna double knot it.
And then there's this piece of the tail
from the braid that I'm just gonna wrap around
and tuck away with some bobby pins.
Okay, and then I'm gonna spray that down.
So now after I've smoothed it down,
I have a lot of ribbon left which is totally fine,
but I'm going to cut it
and make sure when you are cutting
that you have a grown up helping you.
I think it looks really nice.
Are you excited to see it?
- Yes. - Okay let's look at it.
(gasping)
- I love it!
- [Bonnie] You look like a princess.
I have just the finishing touch.
- Oh, a Mulan dress, I love it!
- You wanna try it on?
- Mmhmm.
- Wow, you look so pretty!
- Thank you.
- [Bonnie] Do you love your dress?
- Mmhmm, I'm a princess.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- Thank you everyone for watching.
We'll see you later.
