Fun (to me anyway) fact: it’s not called a “romantic” bun because the ballet is especially romantic in emotion, but it is named after the Romantic Period- basically it’s an 1840s bun. That was how most women in the 1840s wore their hair everyday. And it’s really easy to add ornamentation to a hairstyle like this, with a decorated headband. Dixie DIY has an evening bum version of this (complete with an 1840s ball gown) that goes through both how to do the hair itself, and how to make an 1840s decorative headband.
I thought the same thing! Unfortunately that almost never happens for me when I do buns; I stick 8 million bobby pins in and the lump just dodges them.
I don’t even do ballet but I cant stop watching ballet videos Edit:Thank you for the likes I have never received this many. I just posted a new video if yall wanna watch it🐸
Tips for people with shorter hair: When doing a high bun, instead of just pinning your flyaways on the back, twist them together and pin that twist to the back of your head - A ballerina who used to have short hair
I just realized what talent and skills you need in order to be a ballerina- an artist, a modiste (sewing pointe shoes), a hair & makeup stylist, an athlete. Brava!!!
Scout is so professional it's really a point of admiration. I'm not, typically, a fan of the ballet, however I've become curious. After watching the multiple videos Scout has hosted has completely intrigued my curiosity. After covid is over and the world returns to normal, or at least a new normal I'm going to check out my first ballet.
Seeing a live ballet in a theater is such a different experience than seeing a video! I highly encourage checking it out. Our Christmas tradition in our family is seeing The Nutcracker ballet every year since I was very young. Just at our local ballet company. It might be a nice introduction if that's a popular ballet where you are located.
h hi ow exciting! if it ends up being a ballet with a story, def check out the story before/after bc even though the ballet will obviously depict it, there aren't words and it's possible the the story may be hard to follow with just the gestures. enjoy!
My hair is way longer that what she has, so I need some more advanced techniques, but this video is still very relevant because unlike some fancy instructions, this video gives some actual great down to earth advice witch just works, and that's that. She's perfect, and adorable, and I like her.
Same! My hair is almost 3 ft long and over the years I’ve learned how to make a bun that works for me. I personally just twist my hair and then tuck the remaining hair under the top layer, then use a hairnet then 1 or 2 more hair ties and a lot of bobby-pins. Hair nets are a lifesaver!
Nurse that practices ballet here (and occasionally does some historical reenactment): Believe me, just some of these tricks with bobby pins are VERY useful. Since I have curly hair, just doing a normal bun isn't much of an option, so I usually went for some edwardian/1940's hair do that I use on ballet. There was a week when I had to make a tutorial on instagram cause EVERY nurse and female patient on the floor asked how to do it.
Omg! This ballerina explained perfectly what i have tried on many occasions to learn about hair and buns. I cannot believe that i have watched countless videos of certain hair experts and been left as oblivious as before, but after watching this video of a ballet dancer and not a hairdresser, i can now master this hairdos. Keep them comming! This woman knows how to explain to a t.
I haven't danced in years - I used to jazz until I needed knee surgery - but even just the first bun had me feeling nostalgic. The hairpin technique is exactly what I used to do!
I love how her easy parts are the most difficult for me with natural hair... but the issues she has with her hair not staying put I dont really worry about because my hair takes any shape I put it in 😂
@@elizabethann5308 I just remembered that I had a friend that used like 1 hair tie and 5 Bobby pins for a bun. No hairspray AND NOT EVEN A HAIR NET. Of course... our teacher hated this.
Wow😂 this is the best video I ever seen.it’s like there’s a bun there’s a bun and there’s a bun😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏anyways I love it.
Wow, this really is such a good hair tutorial!! Although nowhere near professional, I am a dancer, and I can tell this video is just packed with the best tips out there.
I like to use a darning needle and weave thread to sew on wigs and crowns so I know they aren't going anywhere. Cutting three stitches is faster than pulling pins out for changes too
@@emjenkins464 in blue bye birdie I had 10 costume changes between three characters, and two wigs to switch back and forth. 4 complete make up changes as well. Good thing Nutcracker trained me as a kid, lol.
This is really useful for me because I do ballet but I always need my sister or mom to help me tie it but when their not free i don’t know how to tie but now i do yay!
Would love to see how the dancers keep their hair heathy & retain length. All that manipulation, tension & hairspray all day every day would be rough on anyone’s strands!
I don’t have experience with dancing but when I was in the military my hair was a total breakage mess. Had to wear it in a tight bun daily with a lot of product because of the flyaways that tying it up created 😬
Having the front part in separately is part of how the hair is protected. It’s also part of why the spraying happens throughout the process instead of just at the end because overall it ends up needing less tension to stay where you put it. I used to split my hair in a different spot every time I did a tighter looking style as well. My hair is really fine and it was quite long when I was dancing, but my breakage was never too bad unless I also had to wear something heavier in my hair.
@@azoyahnelson9906 - I'm not a dancer per se; I take ballet for exercise. For a smooth bun, my hair has to be set on huge rollers, which stretches it, then I can style my hair into these buns. I wash and set my hair every week and keep it in a low bun as a protective style.
i did ballet for so many years and i didnt realised the performance bun is meant to do like that. i wished i knew her tips earlier so i can make my buns look nicer
What a luxury being able to use a hair tie! I remember being absolutely dragged by my teacher in front of the class for having a hair tie in my “rehearsal” bun 😱 the next week she cancelled class and held a hair workshop instead teaching us how to do a bun with only pins and a hairnet
I LOVE how she works in that she doesn't wash her hair every day! That wash-and-shower-every-day craze is actually really bad for your skin and hair and not at all natural. Showering and washing your hair every few days (i.e. 2 times a week) (whenever you and/or your hair become objectively icky) is the best way to go. (Obviously, that doesn't go for your hands and sometimes face. Hands need to be washed frequently and thoroughly several times a day.)
I honestly cannot believe i'm 28yo and just "discovered" I could intentionally bend pins. I had several mind blowing moments watching this.
When did she show that?
@@Claire18Hi 10:50
you can buy bent ones too. I just get them at rite aid and they are already bent.
Probably bc it depends on the kind of pins you’re using (some of them can’t be bend)
She's the last pin bender
I don’t know or care to know anything about ballet.... but this girl literally always has me watching these. She’s so well spoken and gorgeous!
SAME YO, I’ve watched every one of her vids
She is Beauty!
even if you aren't a dancer you could honestly use that braided bun - I love it and totally am going to use it in and out of class
Same, her blue eyes are absolutely mesmerising ❤️
And she has the absolute coolest name on the planet IMHO... 💁🏻♀️
*WE NEED MORE SCOUT VIDEOS*
I am absolutely *obsessed* with her
Yes!!

Oooooh thank you!!
👍🏻
I just realized I've watched her grow her hair out
9:44 is so satisfying, to see that one piece that was popping out get tucked away :)
I didn't even need to look I know exactly what moment you're talking about ahaha
I thought the same thing! Unfortunately that almost never happens for me when I do buns; I stick 8 million bobby pins in and the lump just dodges them.
Tucking the ends under is genius! Why has this never occurred to me?? I HATE when my bun gets too high and doesnt stay against my head.
Same! I’ve been a dancer for 9 years and I’ve never thought of it
Same! I usually do a cinnamon roll for Voss, and would get frustrated with it not being flat. Never thought of that!
My ballet buns look like regular buns because I have to wrap my hair around multiple times... It's a good trick but I can't do it 😢
Same!! I was like “😦😦 why didn’t I think of this before”
I don’t even do ballet but I cant stop watching ballet videos
Edit:Thank you for the likes I have never received this many. I just posted a new video if yall wanna watch it🐸
Me too, whether it's netflix or another streaming service. Loved "dance academy", have yet to watch "find me in paris".
Same😌 cannot even do a split, or dance in rhythm, but oh boy... Ballet🥰
The shoe breaking in videos are my favorite
Yall making me feel so happy because I'm a ballerina and most people say that ballet is boring
@@CawffeeTyme tiny pretty things!!!!
Scout Forsythe literally sounds like the name of the protagonist of an action movie geared toward middle school boys, not a prima ballerina
Reminds me of "to kill a mockingbird" lol
Read fountainhead 🤣
@@Sophie-ni8qm YES
ur pop is amazin
Loll
I love how versatile this information is.
Dancer, teacher, driver, housewife, cashier, doctor, nurse, student. EVERY woman can use this tutorial

Kathryn Morgan did a ballet hairstyles video. She uses extensions for some of them.
I watched this while de-shanking my pointe shoes and just ended up mesmerised by how well spoken she is and by how good she explains everything.
I’m a covid RN watching this to get ideas on how to keep my hair in place under my cap. Love this!

Scout is the reason I'm subscribed
Same👋❤
Me too
Same 😃
I’ve been doing ballet for 6 years and the bending the bobby pins thing is 🤯 GENIUS. How did I never think of that
I love this video. The braided bun is what I wore frequently when I was young on a regular basis - for every day, not just for ballet class.
I didn't even know that pins could be bend intentionally.
Oh yeah Scout! As an ex-competition dancer, the phrase "spray the crap out of your hair" brings back sooo many memories!!
The sewing pin was a gamechanger for me
Not a ballet dancer but a nurse and I can't tell how much I needed this.
I don’t do ballet but I can’t make a bun to save my life so I need this.
Same haha
I read this as "I make a bun to save my life" and I was like, what is her job that her life depends on her hair bun...?
As a black woman.with Afro hair...volume is something Ive never lacked!🤣
Love scout she is so motivational
I haven't danced in years - I used to jazz until I needed knee surgery - but even just the first bun had me feeling nostalgic. The hairpin technique is exactly what I used to do!
Tuck not twist under is something I needed to hear. The sewing technique sounds good too
I love how her easy parts are the most difficult for me with natural hair... but the issues she has with her hair not staying put I dont really worry about because my hair takes any shape I put it in 😂
Do I do ballet? No. Am I taking lots of notes because I like wearing my hair in a bun? Yes.
Edit: I now wear my hair in that braided bun all the time
I could watch Scout videos for literally ever
I wish I had this video back when I was a young baby ballerina! My mom had no idea how to help me make my bun and my hair struggled so hard hahaha!
Her: fly aways are not a issue when it comes to class rehearsal.
Me: my teacher would like to beg to differ
He chases us with hair spray if we have fly aways
The flyaways distracted me. But no one else.
@@elizabethann5308 same. They also make me feel lousy and tired

That bobby pin sewing technique is genius. I’ve been doing since I watched this video and I love how my bun looks and feels!
My daughter and I just found your videos and absolutely love them. We would love to see a stage makeup one.
i'll never get tired of her
Lots of people discovering their pin benders abilities here
I am so obsessed with videos with Scout! She is so fun!
I love the plaited bun. Scout has very pretty hair,I love the balayage.
not me learning this and buying a tiara because of binging bridgerton last week
YOU MUST (I MEAN IT YOU MUST) WATCH OUTLANDER. YOU NEED TO.

@@leafsautumn659 don't even get me started on jamie he's the reason why my expectations are so high lmao
@@leafsautumn659 Outlander started out soo good but then it turned to a freaking period soap opera 😞
I really like her! She's so nice to listen to, very cool and relatable
I actually did the double braided bun on a friend of mine in cosmetology school and she loved it
Her hair color is gorgeous! Going to use these buns for class!
She is so pretty! Her face is the perfect shape for different bun hairstyles!
I always wear my hair in buns in my daily life and even after years of doing that she's taught me so much I didn't know.
This is actually really helpful! My hair's down to my waist now, but I never know what to do with it.
She is so beautiful and well spoken
Using this for my military buns 😂
I was on base with my dad once and had my hair in a bun for Ballet afterwards. I got complements lol.
The greasy hair for performances is the ONLY way to go💁🏻♀️
Your elegant hairstyles are lovely, Ms.Forsythe.
Please more Scout videos, she's amazing!!
Her: does amazing braids and buns in 2 minutes
Me: can only do a high ponytail and a low ponytail
I remember when scout did her first video and her hair was so short, like a bob. Her hair growth is insane. Im jealous.
I usually use a a hairnet for class and I do a normal class bun except I split my hair into 2 twists. What a beautiful crown!
Wow😂 this is the best video I ever seen.it’s like there’s a bun there’s a bun and there’s a bun😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏anyways I love it.
I love Scout and all of these ballet videos!!
Omg the romantic bun looks like it would be so itchy for the ears 😳
I’ve finally found another Scout!
I love these ballet buns while working in the kitchen. #noflyhairs! #efficiencyofmovement!
Wow, this really is such a good hair tutorial!! Although nowhere near professional, I am a dancer, and I can tell this video is just packed with the best tips out there.

@@emjenkins464 in blue bye birdie I had 10 costume changes between three characters, and two wigs to switch back and forth. 4 complete make up changes as well. Good thing Nutcracker trained me as a kid, lol.
I do this and have started being able to take it down without cutting the stitches
Why did I never think to not twist the rest of the head? It's seems counterintuitive like less twisted hair the more that's not bound.
My hair does not let me tie it in a knot.
This is really useful for me because I do ballet but I always need my sister or mom to help me tie it but when their not free i don’t know how to tie but now i do yay!
I don't do ballet or any other dancing but this is a really got bun tutorial thank you!
She seems to be such a nice/cool lady. Love every video with her.
Yeeey! A new Scout Forsythe video! I've been checking every day lol
Sooo helpful! Thank you so much for sharing, now I know how to do my daughter’s ballet bun.🙏👍
WE NEED MORE OF SCOUT FORSYTHE
To the early squad: sending out virtual hugs and hope everyone’s safe 🥰
Same to you 😊
I was doing my ballet bun while watching this video ! 💕😂✌
My entire gymnastics Courier (11years~i am 12)i never knew you could bend Bobby pins no more pain for me

I would love to see her haircare compared to different dancers
I want to see these same buns done by women with different hair textures.
Pretty much the same way for curlyhair, just switch out seasalt spray for pomade, and you definitely don't need to tease it. 🙂
Yeahh I wanna see some on like rly thin straight hair and also on afro type hair (I think it's called 4c but I'm not sure)
Yes absolutely. I’m a black dancer and I can’t just do these easy buns like her since I have curly hair
Well, you can't please them all, I guess...

I hope she’s okay 💜 her eyes look pretty red- i have v sensitive eyes and it sucks 😫
I noticed that too... could be allergies to something
Or the very bright camera lights in her face...
Or maybe some hair spray got in her eyes...
YAYYY, Love Scout’s videos, she’s so nice 💖💖
I totally loved this!! Thank you for sharing
Reminds me of the hairstyles that I did for my friends and I ☺️when I had long hair.
The sewing technique is the best thing ever for buns. But for headpieces my go to is always crossing two pins for more security.
i did ballet for so many years and i didnt realised the performance bun is meant to do like that. i wished i knew her tips earlier so i can make my buns look nicer

@@vera6069 I still don’t know why 🤷🏼♀️ wasn’t the “proper” way to do it
That’s stupid 😅 poor you 😢 if you use a tie in the same color of your hair, no one will see it anyway
Omg her hair has grown so much since the last video
I stopped doing ballet 18 but I miss it! Never quite mastered the pretty bun though, mine were mostly just aimed to stay up for 6 hours!
SHE SHOULD HAVE HER OWN TH-cam CHANNEL!
I love all her videos, bring her back soon!!
the double braided bun is genius
Love the Scout content!!
Thank you Scout I too can’t believe I’m 41 and never thought to bend my Bobby pins myself 🤦🏻♀️
Oh yes! I absolutely loved ur buns lol😉
Preparing your hair before a show looks like a workout by itself 😅
Forever obsessed with scout
WE NEED MORE SCOUT VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Scout’s videos!!
It’s funny watching this and going “oh I do that” 😂
I don’t do ballet but I like buns so glad this was in my recommended 😊
I LOVE how she works in that she doesn't wash her hair every day! That wash-and-shower-every-day craze is actually really bad for your skin and hair and not at all natural.

(Obviously, that doesn't go for your hands and sometimes face. Hands need to be washed frequently and thoroughly several times a day.)
Um, if you're a dancer, and sweating gallons every day, you may not shampoo your hair but you better shower!
Her: This is fun
Me: I am so tired rubbing my eyes
