My Fun Bun:

 

I tried to follow the steps as shown in the pins above but unfortunately the example shown doesn't work well for shorter hairstyles so I had to improvise. I also have bangs so I chose to leave those out of the updo. So if you have shorter hair follow my steps:

1. Just as seen above pull your hair into a tight pony either on the top of your head or just pretty high. 
2. In the above tutorial she said if you have straight hair curl ends before putting in the ponytail but I found it much easier to curl after the pony tail. so after up in a pony divide your hair in 1/2 upper and lower sections and curl the ends of the upper portion up toward your face and curl the ends under and back toward the ponytail. The bottom sections of hair curl toward base of neck and curl the ends under and back toward the ponytail. This will help the hair form the bun shape. 
3. Divide the top 1/2 of the hair you curled into right and left sides. Take the right section and loop the ends in toward the pony tail and bobby pin the section so it starts to form the bun loop. Pin the hair tighter and smaller loop then you want so you can reshape a little later. Repeat with the left side and divide bottom 1/2 of hair into right and left and pin sections just light top 1/2 of the bun.
4. Once all your hair has been formed into the bun shape, pull gently on the hair to spread it out so there are no open spots present in the bun and the bun is the size you want.
5. Top off with hairspray and your done!
