For the last year or so, I've seen influencers, celebrities, and even (gasp!) regular people lean heavily into the low-bun . I haven't been able to scroll my Instagram feed or my TikTok For You Page without seeing at least 10 people rocking the . Although the low bun favored by off-duty models and celebrities effortless, I've found that trying to re-create it isn't as effortless as I originally thought.

It seems like every time I think I've nailed getting the perfect style, I only have to twist my neck and survey the back of my hair before I'm immediately humbled. In my case, anyway, mastering the front of my hair usually means the back of my hair is left looking like a complete mess. So when I saw a video of celebrity hairstylist demonstrating a for how to get a sleek low bun, I knew I had to test it out ASAP.



The video has over two million views and counting, and if there's one person I trust when it comes to creating perfect-looking hair, it's definitely Appleton, the man behind some of Jennifer Lopez's greatest hairstyles. I only wash my hair two times a week at most, so I'm always on the lookout for different hairstyles to wear when my hair is dirty. I wear my hair in a low bun pretty often, but my technique is definitely lacking.

I usually tie my hair into a low ponytail, then I twist and wrap the hair into a bun. It usually takes roughly four hair ties and 10 bobby pins to keep everything in place (even with my thin hair), and it always ends up falling out within a few.
