There's nothing more elegant and casual than a bun. It's a trendy look that suits everyone with different hair types and is easy to do yourself. However, to make your bun look not only natural but also stylish, there are a few secrets you need to know.
RealSimple says it's best to use a flat iron or curling iron to add texture to your hair before creating a bun. You can also use these tools at the end to add waves and curves around your face and at the nape of your neck. These details are what make your bun unique, so don't be afraid to leave some strands loose.
Classic messy bun
This hairstyle is perfect for the second day after washing your hair. First, comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb, apply a little oil to the ends, and refresh your roots with a volumizing dry shampoo.
Gather your hair into a high ponytail, without trying to make it perfectly straight, and secure with a rubber band. Use a curling iron to add light waves around your face. Then divide the ponytail into two parts, twist them together and wrap them around the base, secure with bobby pins. Straighten the bun for volume and set with a light hold spray.
Negligent low bun
To create a bun, gather your hair into a ponytail, but leave a few strands around your face for a natural look. Divide the ponytail into two parts, twist them together and wrap them around the base, secure with bobby pins. For a more airy look, loosen the bun a little. You can also part your hair and gather it at the back of your head, and repeat the same steps. Finish the look with a silk ribbon or elegant scarf for an extra touch.
Double bun for short hair
Even those with short hair can create a stylish bun hairstyle. Apply dry shampoo or texturizing spray to medium-length hair. Gather as much hair as possible into two small ponytails on the crown and make mini buns. Use bobby pins to gently straighten the strands to give them volume. This hairstyle adds playfulness and looks great in any situation.
Messy low or high bun with a braid
Part your hair and braid it into a small braid, weaving in a ribbon or silk scarf. Then wrap the braid around the base of your ponytail to form a bun and secure with bobby pins. This hairstyle adds a romantic touch and is especially suitable for those with long hair.
High beam
Part your hair, leaving two thick strands near your face. Gather the rest of your hair into a high ponytail, twist it into a bun, and secure with bobby pins. Then gently sweep the front strands back, securing them under the base of the ponytail. This hairstyle looks stylish yet casual at the same time.
Bun with bangs
For this hairstyle, gather your hair into a low bun, leaving bangs or a few short strands in front. Twist the ponytail into a bun and shape the bun, slightly fluffing it for a natural effect. Use a hairspray or hair wax to give the bangs the desired shape and to lock in the style.
Bun hairstyles are a stylish, versatile and easy-to-do option for any hair length. Whether you choose a classic messy bun, playful double knots or a romantic braided hairstyle, you will always have an elegant and fashionable look. Experiment, add accessories and enjoy a flawless look.
