The Geisha hairdo is a traditional Japanese hairstyle that is still worn by women around the world, according to the My Haircuts website. The simple-looking bun with two chopstick type accessories styled through the bun can be completed by you with just a few items.

Things You'll Need:

• Styling cream
• Teasing comb
• Hair band
• Chignon foundation
• Bobby pins
• Chopsticks 

Instructions

1. Apply a styling cream to clean, dry hair and allow to dry. The styling cream will help aid in the bun staying put.
   
2. Slightly tease hair all over. Use a comb or brush specifically made to tease hair and tease in small sections.
   
3. Pull hair into a high ponytail while smoothing sections of hair using a soft-bristled brush. Secure your ponytail with a hair band the same color as your hair color.
   
4. Pull your ponytail through a chignon foundation.
   
5. Take a small section of hair and wrap that over and then tuck under the chignon foundation. Secure with a bobby pin. Repeat with small sections of hair all the way around the foundation.
   
6. Crisscross two decorative chopsticks through the chignon bun style, and you have a simply styled Japanese hairdo
