What defines Ballerina bun?
A ballerina bun gathers the hair smoothly into one compact coil. Its clear outline comes from the tight arrangement of the lengths.
What to look for from the front, side and back
From the front, check how much of the bun shows above the crown. In profile, compare its height and depth, then check the shape from behind.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show how high the bun should sit and how close it should be to the head. Ask about securing the style comfortably for the intended wear.
