Many of our recital pieces require a slicked back bun to be worn for stage. We know that creating a “slicked back bun” hair style may seem challenging if you have never tried this before! We feel your pain so we created a tutorial!
This is also very helpful for anyone needing to style their hair into a bun for ballet or other dance classes. Enjoy our tutorial!
