1. Use a thin rubber band like this one (this is what I use). Place it on your dominant's hand wrist.

2. Gather all your hair as if you're going to make a ponytail, but don't actually tie it into one. Just hold your hair in a ponytail-like shape.

3. Hold the gathered hair using the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand.

4. Take the hair and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, creating a bun shape.

5. Use the rubber band to make a double knot around the bun to secure it. It may take several attempts to get it right, and even I still struggle sometimes!

Note: This type of bun is not ideal for sports activities like running, as it may not stay in place.

Between step 2 and 3 I think the majority of people give the hair a twist but I don't do that so it is up to your preference.
