new to both here and hair

Okay, so unless your hair is pretty thin, its not quite long enough yet
for the traditional twisted around bun, this was probably why it wasn't
working.  I'd suggest using a claw clip and twisting it from the
nape of the neck upward and clamp it on the fold part so the ends stick
out of the top, then you can arrange them to stick up messily or curl
down over the clip.  

Another thing that might be closer and more bunlike, is if you put it
in a ponytail in the back of your head, wrap it around once, so you've
got some ends sticking out to make it look messy, put another band
around the bun part, then use a hairstick to spread the bun out so it
hides the two bands (sticking it into one side of the bun, under the
bands near the scalp, then upwards into the other edge of the bun to
come out the opposite side).  The stick will not only help it
hold, but it will help the bun lay flat so it doesn't look like a loop
of hair just hanging there.  Then you can arrange your ends. 
Hope this helps.
