What is the bulk allowance when hair is in a bun?

• A. 2 inches
• B. 3 1/2 inches
• C. 4 inches
• D. 3 inches

Answer: (B)

Bulk allowance for a bun describes how much volume the hair can have while still fitting properly under headgear and maintaining a neat, uniform look. When hair is up in a bun, the silhouette should be compact enough to let the helmet or cap sit correctly and not distort the headgear's fit. Three and a half inches is the maximum allowed height or fullness of the bun. This size provides enough bulk for a secure, tidy bun while keeping the headgear aligned and the uniform silhouette consistent. If the bun were much larger, it could press against the helmet or cap and break the uniform line; if it were much smaller, it would be impractical for a typical bun and look disproportionately flat.
