[Alaia]

That's very nice. Sort of a messy bun but looks lovely too :D

Going to try it tomorrow for work.

[Sookie]

Beautiful! I liked all your tutorials so i subscribed to your channel :)
Btw nice piercings hahaha..i love them and have many too :D

[FluffSpider]

Woah. That just became my favourite bun:d
Will it work for WL hair? I just came from an aerobics class and I'm too tired to try:(
P.S. Cool song-who plays it?

[kouran]

Thank you for the tutorial! The hair sticks are so pretty!:)

Should be possible - you can adjust the tail lenght by how big you do the bottom loop.

The song is Fever Ray - Dry and Dusty.

I assume that you are familiar with The Knife? :)

[Firefly]

I really enjoy your videos-- thank you!

[jojo]

Love it but think I need to be at least hip length to try

[schweedie]

Oh, that's lovely! I think my hair might be too short for it still, but I'm definitely going to see if I can make it work before Midsummer celebrations on Friday. :D

[Eolan]

Yay! I really enjouy your videos. My hair is still to short for this one, I think.

You have excellent taste in music! :)

[Lippytoes]

Pretty! I think my hair is still too short as well, but could give it a go. :) I love your tutorial vids by the way - super helpful!

[Red_Wednesday]

Very cute! Can't wait until my hair is long so I can try some of these styles:p.

[CaityBear]

Very cute! I'll have to do this. I do something like this but I don't leave the tail hanging but that looks nice with the tail hanging. It's something new to do. :)

[Hypnotica]

I think if you use plain hairsticks and then decorate the whole thing with little sparkly stuff, it can be fitting for even a formal event.

Need to try that if I can find a formal event, that is...

[Alaia]

Hah I did this today and I don't have a tail leftover. :lol:

[jennydaesy]

ooo its a very pretty style.. great video..

[newbeginning]

Very nice. I'll have to try it.

[Olga-Freya]

I'll have to try it right now! I absolutely love your channel, this tutorial and music from it.

[Alvrodul]

It is gorgeous - but not a bun I am able to do yet. I am just barely able to get my hair into a celtic knot bun, but when I dare to wear my hair in that bun, half the time it falls apart because the "tail" of hair is almost nonexistent. But I tried to do two Celtic Knots buns today, and that worked fine, though the placement was rather lopsided - and I got two fairly long tails to work with! :)

[Nessie_]

That's a nice bun and I loved the hairsticks as well! I'm definitely going to try it out!

[Hypnotica]

Hah I did this today and I don't have a tail leftover. :lol:

Well, that is fine too. It is a quite stable bun.

[Alaia]

Well, that is fine too. It is a quite stable bun.

You're right. I left it in anyways and it stayed a lot more than most buns do in my hair 2 days after washing. :D So, thanks! :D

[BrightEyes7]

No my dear, we have similar hair length and thickness. This bun is do-able! We just don't have as long of tendrils as Hypno does.

I find that intersting. I was able to do a celtic well at waist, and my hair is thicker. :shrug:


So I just tried this bun (I'm at work so I had to use a pencil, I didn't have a hairstick with me). It looks nice and it is very stable and comfy!! I have little spiky bits rather than tendrils, but it still looks really pretty. I did mine rather tight though. The first loop I left just enough room for my fingers to grab the second loop.

Thanks Hypno!! :flower:

[Paranda Belle]

Nice, simple stable bun. Now I just need some more hairsticks!

My hair is super slippery, so I really need a bit of a tail for this bun to be sure it stays put. It will usually be fine, but I have had it fall apart on me.

[Cowgirl16]

I watched this yesturday! I can't wait until I am able to try it. (huge shed=no playing with hair) :(

[pepperminttea]

Ooh, that would look amazing with curled ends - I'll have to give it a go, thanks! :D

BrightEyes7: Don't forget height plays a part too. :) What's waist on me, at 5'10", is a bit more hair than what's waist on someone who's 5'2", and that's before you get into differing body proportions of high waists vs. low waists, etc.

[islandboo]

I wore this at work today and it held wonderfully all day despite things being really hectic :-). I had only a tiny bit of tail sticking out though - I think it will be more fun when I have a bit more length to toss about.

[BrightEyes7]

Ok... So I tried this again last night and discovered a little trick that gave me a longer tail.

I still make the first loop as small as possible, but when I get the second loop started, instead of just pulling for the middle I tighten the first loop by pulling the strand in the second loop that is not the free end. It tightens the first loop while making second loop bigger. Then I put the hairstick in and I have a bit of a tail. It's a very tight and secure bun but it has the tail so it still looks feminine, not harsh.

[lapushka]

Have to remember this one for when my hair's long enough! I'm almost HL. Damn, I need more hair. :D With a simple knot bun, I have tendrils like that, just no room for the second loop yet (if I wants spikes sticking out maybe). :lol:

[Calaelen]

I'll be wearing that today!! Thanks! Also, since you have awesome taste in music, and seem to have tons of stuff I don't know, could you post the song info in the link from now on? For example, what song did you use for the video Gibralter Bun??

Thanks!!! I've finally subscribed..been meaning to.

I usually forgets that as the music is not that important.....I slap it on because I do not talk in my videos so I thought it would be boring to watch a mute video.
