Mum shares 'genius' hair hack for a thick bun if you have the 'thinnest' locks

Sometimes you can work hard to style your hair a certain way, only to be disappointed with the end results.

If you've ever tried to do your locks up in a robust bun, but were left with a tiny lump, one woman has shared her clever way to make your up do appear more fuller. While it can be an easy feat for people with thicker hair, the same can't be said for those with thinner strands.

While there are positives and negatives to having different types of hair, some styles can look better on others if their locks are more voluptuous. Thankfully, one woman has shared her "thin messy bun" method, perfect for those with a wispy mane, who want to give the illusion of having thicker hair.

Lilia Tsangalidou shared the 'thin hair messy bun' on TikTok with her 126k followers, and the video has since gone viral, with over 2.3m views. The clip shows mum-of-one @liliaonoyko putting her hair in a high pony tail, tying it with a thick silk scrunchy.

As reported by The Mirror, she then folds the hair around the scrunchie in a circular shape and fastens this with a thinner hair ties. With the hair that is still hanging down, she spits this into two section before twisting them and wrapping both sides around the base of the bun.

Finally, she fastens both sides with a small hair tie at the front of the head. Twisting it will ensure that the two bunches still remain separate, but tied together at the front.

Lilia then flips the two bunches around once, so they are crossing each other, lifts it up and places it around the bun. At the end she used two hair grips to secure the bun in place.

The mum showed off the bun, which looked noticeably fuller than the first one where she just put it up with one hair tie. One user said that both the thin and full bun looked nice on her, but "I'm definitely going to try this idea, thanks!".

Some people called the hack "genius", while another said: "Love it!" and a third added: "I like the trick."
