The sleek bun is our go-to hairstyle—elegant, chic, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re dressing up for a formal event or adding a touch of sophistication to your daily look, this style never disappoints. But as our founder Maxime knows, achieving this look with short hair can be tricky. That's why she’s sharing her personal steps to create the perfect sleek back bun using our Silky Sculpt Hair Balm and the new Sculpt Mini Boar Bristle Brush.

   

Step 1: Create the Foundation

  • Section the Lower Part of Your Hair: Use a tail comb to divide your hair into two sections: lower and upper. Clip the upper section out of the way.
  • Smooth Out the Lower Section: Brush the lower section with a boar bristle brush. Apply the Silky Sculpt Hair Wax Stick for extra control and smoothness.
  • Pull the Lower Part into a Ponytail: Gather the lower section into a ponytail and secure it tightly with a hair tie. Tilt your head slightly back to avoid any bumps. For really short hair, feel free to use bobby pins for extra hold.

 

Step 2: Secure the Upper Part

  • Smooth and Gather the Upper Section: Release the upper section and comb it back smoothly.
  • Apply Hair Wax Stick: Reapply the Silky Sculpt Hair Wax Stick to the upper section for smoothness and control. Use your boar bristle brush.
  • Combine with the Lower Ponytail: Join the upper section with the lower ponytail and secure with a hair tie.

Step 3: Add Finishing Touches

  • Apply the Silky Sculpt Hair Wax Stick to any flyaways or areas needing extra control.
  • Use a boar bristle brush to ensure a sleek, polished finish.

    Voila! You’ve mastered the sleek back look with your short hair. With the right techniques and our Silky Sculpt Hair Wax Stick, you’re all set to flaunt a polished, stylish look that’s perfect for any occasion.
