- Hey guys, it's Kilee!
And today I'm gonna teach you--
oh wait!
Where's Bailey?
- Hey guys!
It's Bailey and this is Kilee, my cousin,
and today we're gonna be teaching you the bandana bun.
So it's a perfect back to school hairstyle
or any people who are really active in sports and stuff.
It's a cute way to accessorize
just a typical day to day bun,
so, let's go on to the video.
Okay, so to start the hairstyle off
you can see that I've already put her hair
into a high ponytail,
but I decided to add a little bit of a grown up look
to the ponytail by puffing the front
and pulling out some whispies,
and this it totally up to you, it's optional,
you can just do a slick back ponytail too,
whatever you want.
But I just added that just for fun.
So now you gotta get your bandana slash scarf,
we have our scarf here.
Because her hair is pale
we decided to pick a super cute flowery scarf.
And we're gonna go ahead and turn her and start the bun.
So this bun is actually perfect for back to school
because you can kinda pizzazz it up
and add the cute accessory.
So first things first, I'm gonna pull this scarf
through the rubber band so it's held still.
So it doesn't move when I'm braiding it into her hair.
You wanna pull a good chunk of it forward
'cause you're gonna end up using this at the end of the bun.
So now that I've pulled that forward,
we're gonna start braiding.
So we're gonna take our scarf
and add a small chunk of hair to it.
Now, it doesn't have to be a huge chunk
because the scarf is taking up a lot of your chunk
that you're gonna be braiding with.
And so now you're gonna split the other two sections out
and begin braiding.
Now the goal of this is
to make sure that your scarf is still sitting on top
so you can see it even when you're braiding,
'cause that's the whole point of having it in there.
So we're gonna try and make sure to manipulate it
so that you can see the scarf
while we're braiding.

So Kilee over here, she does gymnastics, huh Kilee?
How long have you been doing gymnastics for?
- A really long time.
- Yeah.
- [Kilee] I started when I was really young
and then I quit for a year to try new things,
and then I started back last year.
- So she wears buns a lot.
Would you wear this to gymnastics?
- Yeah.
See it would keep her hair out of her face
while still being cute and stuff.
Okay, so now our braid is done
and I'm gonna add a clear rubber band
at the bottom to hold it in,
as you usually would with a braid.
Okay, so now that I've done that, you see this end here?
We're gonna go ahead and wrap the bun like you usually would
with the braid.
See how cute that ribbon looks in the braid?
Especially on her blonde hair it looks really cute.
So once you get it all wrapped up and looking cute,
you wanna pull your end of the braid out
so it doesn't get wrapped in there,
and you're gonna wanna tie your ribbon together at the top.
This is gonna help secure the bun in.
And then if you have any excess ribbon or bandana
you can go ahead and tuck that in to make it look cute.
So now that it's all secured,
we're just gonna wrap these up in there
and bobby pin them in.
You can hide the bobby pins as well as you can.
I'm gonna go ahead and do that right now.
And if you feel like your bun is loose
you can always add extra bobby pins,
like I'm gonna go ahead and add extra bobby pins
just in case she decides to do anything active,
as kids probably would, with the bun,
to make sure that it stays in.
- Maybe like, mostly sports.
- Yeah, mostly kids who would wear this to sports and stuff.
- [Kilee] Mm hmm.
- And there you have the bandana bun.
So now it's time for the final spin.
So like I said before,
this is basically the perfect back to school look
because you're hair's still pulled up and cute,
but it also has a super cute accessory on top of it,
it's really,
unique, I feel like.
I've never seen this before, which is totally awesome.
And it's also good for things
like kids who are in activities,
who want their hair more than just
the typical day to day ponytail.
It's super cute so,
that is the perfect back to school
slash activity bun for you right there.
