hey guys today I want to share to you it's really quick and easy sleek low
knotted bun I like to call this in my city chic fun as some of you may know I
moved from the suburbs to downtown in the city so every single day I see these
really powerful and elegant women and it just inspired me to create a more sleek
and put together look for you guys now this hairstyle will work best if your
hair is just past your shoulders or medium length but I will show you how to
add extensions so you can recreate this look of your hair is on the shorter side
so let's go ahead and get started so for today's hairstyle I am going to be using
hair extensions to show you guys how you can recreate it if your hair's on the
shorter side now if you don't have hair extensions and you're looking to
recreate this hairstyle I could not recommend luxy hair anymore I absolutely
loved her hair extensions I've used them for years this particular set is over a
year old and is still super thick and shiny and soft I'm super jealous because
I wish my real hair felt like this but I get a ton of questions about which color
I'm wearing so this is the ash blonde color and I wear the 220 grams set it's
thickest set that they offer so it just really blends nicely with my hair and
just makes it look even more voluminous first to prep my hair I'm going to take
a light hold gel I love this one from Herbal Essences because it gives you
that hold without the crunch I'm using a quarter-sized amount and just running
this down all of my hair now if this hairstyle can also be done on wet hair
which is amazing I would just go ahead and add a little bit of mousse first
next step using a soft bristle brush or comb you just want to smooth down all of
your hair sadly when I move I misplaced my comb or else I'd be using that but a
soft bristled brush will work just as great once it's nice and smooth create a
tight ponytail where you want your bun to be I placed my right the nape of my
neck I love this because you could also pair this hairstyle with a hat I pulled
up the sides a bit to cover my ears and then pulled out small pieces in front of
my ears just to frame my face I find that it gives it more of a I just threw
my hair up and it was like this appearance now if you're using
extensions take 2/3 clip weft and you just want to clip one on to the other
right below where at the clips are once they're clipped together it should look
similar to this so take that top weft and make sure that all of the clips are
open and you just want to begin clipping it around your ponytail as close to your
hair elastic as you possibly can I like using that 3 clip weft because I feel it
fits perfectly around a ponytail now to create our knotted bun so grab the base
of your ponytail and try to keep it nice and smooth and you want to wrap it up
and around your index finger using your other fingers to keep it nice and tight
and wrap it a full 360 degrees so a full circle once you've wrapped it see
my index finger I'm going to also slide my thumb in the middle so that I can
pinch my ends and pull them through the center of my bun so all that I've done
is I just tied a knot with my hair and tried to keep it as tight as possible so
you want to keep your bun pressed against your head and then tuck your
ends underneath the bun until they're hidden
once they're tucked I like to secure them first with some bobby pins just to
ensure that they don't poke out continue Bobby pinning around the perimeter of
your bun what I like to do is take a bobby pin hook some hair from the
outside of the bun and then slide the bobby pin underneath my bun towards the
center I keep repeating this until my bun is secure and definitely not going
anywhere so there we have you guys that's how easy it is to recreate this
low and knotted city chic bun I really hope that you guys loved this more sleek
put together look I know I often do like messy effortless hairstyles but ever
since I moved to the city I'm just feeling a shift in my style I feel so
