What defines Loose high bun?
A loose high bun gathers the length into a soft knot and leaves a few shorter pieces free around the face.

Check how high the knot is visible above the forehead. The side view shows how far it projects and the back shows where the loose pieces sit.
What to confirm with your stylist
Mark the position of the knot and show which pieces should stay out. Ask whether the longest layers can be secured for how you plan to wear it.
