Question & Answer
How do I make my bridal bun stay all day?
A professional bridal stylist will use a combination of techniques: a strong-hold, non-flaking gel, a very secure ponytail base, plenty of pins, and a finishing spray with a strong but flexible hold. Setting the slicked hair with a scarf for 30 minutes before styling is also a key trick.
