Steps
Brush your hair back into a high ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Leave a little slack at the scalp so the bun looks soft.
Fold a long, light rectangular scarf in half lengthwise to make a wide band. A chiffon or cotton scarf about 90 to 120 cm long works best.
Place the middle of the scarf at the base of the ponytail. Tie the two ends once at the front, keeping the scarf snug but not tight.
Split the ponytail into two sections. Twist each section loosely, then wrap both twists around the scarf knot to form a bun.
Pin the bun with 4 to 6 bobby pins, tucking the loose ends under. For thin hair, place pins through the scarf knot as well as the hair.
Wrap the scarf tails around the bun in opposite directions. Tuck the ends under the bun or tie them at the back, then hide the knot.
Gently pull small sections of hair near the bun and at the front to loosen the style. Finish with a light mist of hairspray.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a light chiffon or cotton scarf. A heavy wool scarf can make the bun slip.
Do not tie the scarf too tightly at the start. It should sit firmly but still let you loosen the bun later.
Thin hair shows gaps, so tease the ponytail lightly or use dry shampoo before twisting.
Pin the scarf ends if they keep slipping out of the bun.
Questions
Can I do a scarf bun on short hair?
Yes, if your hair reaches into a small ponytail. Use a shorter scarf and pin the bun close to the head.
How do I stop the scarf from slipping?
Choose a scarf with some texture, tie it over the hair tie, and add bobby pins through the knot.
Do I need a hair donut?
No. The scarf adds volume on its own, but a small donut can help if you want a rounder bun.
