Lower your head and comb your hair forward, and use a fine-toothed comb to scrape the roots backwards (focus). A popular Douyin video shows that this step can increase the volume of the meatball head by 40%.
Step 3: Bundle your hair high
Tie a high ponytail at the top of your head with a rubber band. Hot search data shows that the ideal position is at the golden section between the ear and the top of the head (about 12cm from the hairline).
Step 4: Winding and forming
Wrap the ponytail clockwise into a bun and secure with a phone coil hair tie. Xiaohongshu's actual measurement shows that first making a half circle counterclockwise and then clockwise has the best effect.
