Cover and release a bun with a hair net

Step by step

1. 

   STEP 1 OF 3

   Make a comfortable reachable bun

   • Gather dry manageable hair into a low ponytail. Coil the length loosely around its base and tuck the end under the coil.
   • Hold the coil and slide smooth pins through its outer hair into the base hair, parallel to your head with tips concealed. Stop for pulling or pressure.
2. 

   STEP 2 OF 3

   Settle the net around the bun

   • Open the net with both hands and place it over the bun. Ease the elastic rim around the base without forcing the bun smaller.
   • Tuck spare mesh around the base. Support the net with one hand and slide a smooth pin through its edge into the bun hair, keeping the tip concealed.
   • Check around the edge for loose mesh, escaping pins and pressure. Use a better-fitting net if there is too much spare mesh or the edge pulls.

   STEP 3 OF 3

   Remove the net before undoing the bun

   • After wear, find and remove every pin fastening the net. Support the bun while lifting the rim and gently peeling the mesh away from loose hairs.
   • Set the net aside. Remove the underlying bun pins, unwind the coil and take out the ponytail tie. Free any small catch with your fingers.
   • Count and collect the fasteners, inspect the net and follow its care label before storing it dry.
