I've come to appreciate how skilled women are at this. They make it look so easy

[mikebartkovich]

It doesn't seem to matter how many times I watch this but my hands just don't do it right

Yo that flick technique legit took 30 min to figure out, gassed my shoulders, and had me cussing in a mirror... but once I got it down the rest wasn't bad and I ended up with real dirty highball. Stoked to better get with this technique and less pumped in the shoulders. Great video. Cheers!

bro I’ve been trying to do this for 30 mins and I keep failing lol why is it so difficult

[vincentalvarado]

This makes no sense to me no matter how many times I try.

Yep! my hairs' past my shoulders and I can confirm that messy wild buns are where' it's at, always love it have tried other styles but just come back to the good ol' messy bun with lots of texture/volume. I like mine best when it's really central and right at the crown. Your 100% with having to flick your whole head down to position the hair correctly, then flipping it through the hair-tie. I use large head bands because I've got alot of thick hair that doesn't fit in a small elastic. I love my hair and I can always appreciate a good man bun when I spy one!

after 2 weeks of stiff neck, i finally did it. the hardest part is the "flick" and the "grab" right after. thank you so much for the tutorial!

Amazing job of showing us exactly nothing of what the hands are actually doing

This has got to be the absolute, 100% most frustrating thing, ive ever tried to do in my life.

Man this is so helpful. To me tying my hair back is like trying to untangle the Christmas lights. It's tedious and frustrating and I somehow end up wrapping it around something else I didn't intend to!

1:56 "you're going to give it the second twist right here" But there was no mention of the first twist. Only flicking your hair with your thumb. My hair is as long as yours but I'm not great with elastics. So this is a bit frustrating. The first twist isn't discussed or clear to me. Is it along with the thumb flip? I've tried this 40 times and my hair just doesn't stay together like yours. Is it because I have thick but fine hair? I feel like I'm missing something about the first twist

Growing my hair out for the first time, just want to say thanks! For giving ppl like me the confidence to rocking out the long hair/man bun

[MacTutorials]

2 years trying different things to make my bun look like this, but always failed. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!

[VolkanKaraaslan-wy]

You changed my life bro!!! You will always be my Hero for this!!😂🖤

[ituhly]

bro when i do the flick i end up holding the hair tue wrong, how is it above ur fingers?? i juet end up holding it

[dikenelijah]

Fourth time am letting my hair grow... there's something with that "twist" move that is magic... my hair hasn't reach my shoulders yet on thus new hair journey... I do that twist and my bun seems like my hair is super long...like...people think that to get that cool bun your hair obviously needs to be long...but no!
I also observed that I feel my roots better comfy with that twist which make me feel like it helps it grow faster?...for this I don't know if it's just a feeling or if it's real...but yeah that TWIST is magic in many aspect

I've had real difficulty with this (not just your videos, trav!). My sister put this up for me in seconds! So I've gone a bit rogue; for now I'm grabbing my hair, tying a traditional ponytail by twisting the tie over into a figure 8 shape w/ the tail in one of the holes and then pulling a little over a half (or the majority for a bigger bun) of my remaining hair halfway through the 'other' hole in the figure 8. If you get me? You can actually repeat this, depending on length, 3 or 4 times to tighten as long as you pull the majority through the hole at the end.

It's a really basic bun. Not as cool but I can tug at it to make it messier, I can make it higher or lower on my head and if I throw my head forward and tie it there I get like, a lazy top-knot, though it doesn't suit me.

Edit: I'm not used to this kind of styling and it was this sort of experimenting that let me eventually nab the cooler bun in the video. Improving my hand coordination, knowing what will & won't work etc

[bldy_FrmdaiX]

wtf you make it look easier than it is…. I’m saving this video” I’m just gonna keep watching
I love the way you style it !.

[eddielim]

I’ve tried many times and lost a bunch of hairs doing this, can’t seems to follow after the first twist with the thumb as the thumb is mostly not visible among the hairs after that part, is it under the band or over it?

[Michael-ybjh]

Alright Ive watched this about 39 times in .25,
What you should take away; twist your hair ALONG with the first twist of your hair tie. Also the second twist if you can/need to.

That's literally all that's different here, the hair AND the hair tie, you twist both at once.
