Altáriel DelMar, I can just barely do it at waist length, which is about 34 inches on me. You might be able to do it with shorter hair if it's thinner. The thicker the hair the more length you need to be able to wrap it. So it's hard to predict exactly when you'll be able to do it. Good luck and happy growing.

Thank you for your reply! I’m looking forward to trying this style someday.

Got a picture of mine today. I really like this bun.

Wow, that’s gorgeous!

Could anyone give me an estimate of the minimum hair length you have to have in order to do this bun? I’m curious as to how long I have to wait

Thank you! For doing this bun at shorter lengths, you could always split your hair into sections (it thins and lengthens all at once)--maybe do a half-up (split horizontally--bun the top section and leave the lower bit down), or twin buns (split/parted vertically)? Or if your hair is too short still, split it into even more sections (3, 4, 8...). Any bun can be done as long as there's enough flexible length to twirl (so not on a buzzcut or pixie with a few inches of growth... ).

Thank you, Ms Spoons!

CopperButterfly, that's so full of wow!

This is one of those buns that I have to rotate an extra 1/4 to 1/2 turn before I pin down. It holds well enough; just needs a bit more torque to stay put.
