Treble clef bun

[Igraine]

Hi everyone! I wonder if any of you have tried a bun which sort of resembles a treble clef? My two attempts you can see below, but it would be nice if someone has better suggestions to make it more... realistic? Perhaps twisting a ribbon in the hair, to make the contour more obvious?

So... here's the first try (clickable pictures)

And here the second one:

Another view of the same:

I can see it in the second picture. I love it! Congrats on somehow making the shape.
It took me ages to learn how to draw, let alone do it with my hair :D

They are brilliant, how on earth did you do them?

[Gumball]

Oh definitely. I've only worn it a handful of times, since it takes me just a little more effort to get the shape down since I have to put more thought into it. :) It's circulated around here a few times before. Yours looks really great! I have a picture of one of my attempts (from a good while back) in one of my private albums. Laziness hasn't got around to getting a public one put up yet. Hehe.

ETA: I started with a cinnabun base, too, and when it wrapped around and then began to start the top portion, I looped it back around and then hid the rest of the length under the cinna-base. :D

My hair is BSL so I can only get to the top loop. I'm a flute teacher so this would be the perfect style for me. I'll have to grow it for a lot longer in order to get it to work. Yours looks great - thanks for the inspiration.

[Igraine]

I'm glad you guys like it :flowers:

PurdyBear, I did it like Gumball describes: A cinnabun with the last portion of the hair looped above the bun, and the ends tucked in the bun. It does require hip+ length of hair, for ii/iii thickness.

[Loreley]

What a gorgeous bun! I'll have to try this. :)

[little_acorn]

Love it :thumbsup:, second take is spot on :)

[curlylocks85]

How clever. I will have to try this when my hair is long enough :)

[habioku]

I absolutely love this bun! So unusual, pretty and stable :)

I also made a tutorial: Treble clef (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nop-I6Dftb4) Maybe this is helpful :)

[ladonna]

I didn't know what you were refering to I'm not a music person, I definately see it!! It's pretty.

[Hollyfire3]

Stupid not even BSL hair (too long to call APL but not yet BSL solidly darn that stupid trim, even if it DID make my ends nicer...) i can't even get to the second loop and the first bun falls too easily...darn my thick hair...wonder how long it will take till i can do this...someone mentioned us thicker haireds have to wait till hip! I can't wait that long....anyone know a short hair variation?

[julliams]

When I first responded to this post I had only BSL hair and it just wasn't long enough. I am now grazing hip and I can make the bun but it's not obviously a treble clef as it's my tippy ends that are making the top part so it's rather small.

This bun has altered my goal length. I want enough length to be able to make this bun easily and convincingly which is another couple of inches. Being a music teacher it is just so very perfect and honestly I think it's subtle enough that if you didn't point it out, most people wouldn't notice.

I am so thrilled the thread popped up again as I'd quite forgotten about it.

[Ligeia_13]

I can't WAIT until my hair is long enough for one of these. I've had my eye on it for a while :D

[Sushi144]

Pretty ! I have to try it. :) I'm from a family of musician, so it should be quite a success... ;)

[moxamoll]

Darn! I need another 10-15cm of length to make this work properly. Maybe it'll get there in time for the the folk music festival season? :pray:

[racrane]

Dang! I love that! I can't wait until I can achieve this style!

[dwell_in_safety]

That is beautiful! I've been mulling over changing my goal from waist (which I have had before and adored even in its terrible condition) to hip. This doesn't help the first option! :p

[lunalocks]

I LOVE this. I play violin. Now to practice...

[MoreWhenNuh]

I saw this thread the other day so I thought I'd give it a try. I just got in to doing buns and using hair sticks. Here's my attempt:

Its creative I like it.

[MasCat]

And for all of us whose hair is to short - we're left with doing a french twist and pretenging it's a base clef ;)

[BritishBraider]

I could never get it right as just one treble clef (dare I say I have too much hair?) but doubled up it went down very well at choir...

[missoj]

I just tried this with my BSL+ hair and got a very small version, but I can't use a stick to keep it up. I have to hold it with bobby pins.

[Sushi144]

British Braider : very cute !

[StPaulaGirl]

Oh wow, I love this (I play piano). I can't wait until my hair is long enough! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial. :D
