How to put your hair up in a bun with a chopstick

Re: How to put your hair in a bun with a chopstick
(This video is flipped, because Carter is left-handed, but Paul is not.)
Gather your hair in a ponytail, then use your thumb to pull a loop of the hair through your off hand.
Coil the remaining hair around the base of the loop. Make it snug, but it doesn’t need to be tight.
With the hand that held the ponytail in place, feel to make sure the loop is basically intact.
Use both hands to spread the loop open around the coil of hair at the base.
Holding the bun in place, take the chopstick and insert it at the seam of the bun, such that it goes “over” the opened loop, and slides through the coiled hair. As you move the chopstick into place, it will feel like a lever, gently tightening and securing the bun.
With your index finger kept in the seam on the other side of the bun, feel for the tip of the chopstick.
Slide the chopstick through until it feels about right.

3 years later and your tutorial has helped another long haired guy!

[@TheLoudFox]

Ditto that

I love that tutorial because it shows us how to make a bun without using elastic bands that can damage your hairs, aren't eco friendly and we tend to loose a shit ton of those on a monthly basis. 8/10. The issue is that it is unfortunately not super friendly for people with short and thick hairs. Featuring a link to an other tutorial for people with thicker hair would be interesting and be super great for anyone wanting to try out this hairstyle. Still, thanks, it's actually alot more comfortable than the ponytail.

I'd be happy to add links to alternate methods! Do have any tutorials you like?

[@yllare]

thank you! very useful info! it's pretty solid too!

I break the chopstick in half so it doesn’t stick out as much.

[@fluffygoatzie3578]

You can use a penchil or a small painting bruh or a very small knitting needle tho-

[@chatella_nutella9017]

My chopstick broke lol

[@RubabFatimaszrr]

Finally make my first hair bun with a stick I bought 5 years ago

[@ig7002]

Perfect! Thank you

A man with his hair tied up with a chopstick in a bun is SOOOOOO hot!

[@chesslauren1991]

[@mohdaarfeen623]

🔥💯💯 nice bro👍🏻👍🏻

[@ireneloli4075]

I was at the process of doing it and I'm like,.. nah man this is never gonna happen, and then magically my hair doesn't move at all and there's a pretty but messy bun

[@parkjose5504]

Thanks

[@Speckled_Butterfly7206]

Yeah I have been doing the twisty way around an elastic for years but it annoys me how loose it becomes after a couple hours at work. I love the actual hair sticks but they are always too short😅

[@kingdanett4043]

Dang my hair is still not long enough. My hair is so thick and when I put it up it does a pony to my shoulder blades.

[@CBCook]

I'm having the same trouble with my thick hair!

[@JollibeenosHasYourCoordinates]

There should be more hair options for people with thick hair.

[@fluffygoatzie3578]

Don't worry, there's a way that should make it work. Either make 2 mini buns on each side of your head or attach only your top hairs and leave the bottom ones at your ears level untied. Hope this helps.

[@hash-guard]

try using something longer, like a paint brush

[@Doofens]

i have thick hair too and it works fine. wrap it really tight

[@InspiredbyDreams.]

Useful 🙏🙂👌

[@seebzt]

Nice

I just get it in a pony tail, spin the chopstick around until hair it tight, then pull it out almost all the way, pull it away from my hair like a lever, push it in half way, then push the chopstick down like a lever so the tip is pointing away and push it out (so you sorta push it in and out in a V shape).
That does the trick for me. I've given this method a go and it really isn't working out. Tried it like 20 times and it doesn't work, even though I have fine, pin straight/grade 1 hair😖

[@paultstarr]

If you have a link to a video of what you’re describing, I’ll add it in the video description! :)

[@headlessharry40]

same, I have extra thick 3C hair and it just falls out everytime! It did work perfectly on my sister with 1B hair though.
