The Nautilus Bun is a beautiful hairstyle for long hair! It can be done with a hair fork, or a hair stick, or a hair clip like the Lilla Rose Flexi clip.
This is a popular hairstyle for long hair in Germany, but its popularity is growing world wide as an easy way to do a bun with long hair.
It is very similar to the Lazy Wrap Bun, which is another great long hair bun hairstyle.
One reason that both of these hairstyles are great for long hair and even super long hair, is that since you are only securing the center of the bun, you can use a smaller sized hair clip than you normally would if you secured the clip across the entire bun.

I recommend trying both the Nautilus Bun and the Lazy Wrap bun, and seeing which you like the best, and let me know!
