How to ask your stylist for this hairstyle
Tips
Ask a stylist for a "sleek low bun" or a "braided chignon." Specify if you'll need extensions for fullness or length. For a braided bun, clarify if you want the hair braided into the bun, or a single large braid wrapped into a bun.

Question & Answer
How do you make a bun look fuller with natural hair?
The easiest way is to add extension hair. You can buy a pre-made braided ponytail or a bundle of braiding hair. First, create a small, tight bun with your own hair. Then, wrap the extension piece around your bun and pin it securely for instant, voluminous results.
