How to Recreate Zendaya’s ‘Undone’ Ballerina Bun

04/17/2024

Balletcore has, once again, officially entered the chat. Zendaya embraced the uber popular aesthetic for the Los Angeles premiere of her new film “Challengers” in a big way, especially her statement-making hairstyle. Ursula Stephen, Zendaya’s hairstylist for the press tour, called it “a ballerina bun undone,” which could not be more perfect a description.

If you want to know how to craft this style for yourself, you’re in luck. The Tease connected with Stephen who graciously shared her exact steps. Scroll now, thank us later!

Get the Look:

  1. “First, we started with clean, damp hair and added Healthy SexyHair Blowout Crème throughout the hair to prep for hair that will last all night.
  2. Then, I blow dried for a straight sleek finish with volume at the roots.
  3. Next, I added a couple of Skinny Clip-Ins from The Hair Shop at the crown of the head to create more hair and volume for an up-do.
  4. I then grabbed all of the hair into a ponytail and secured with a Bunjee, and twisted and pinned the hair into a donut.
  5. I sprinkled the Big SexyHair Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder along the hairline and nape area, and used my fingertips to roll the hair in a circular motion to create a fuzzy, airy ‘disheveled’ texture.”
