The bun is a classic style that can be worn in a variety of ways. Whether you're getting ready for an elegant night on the town or want a hairstyle to complement casual Friday, there's always a variation of the bun that can polish off any look.
Classic and Elegant
This bun style is ideal for medium to long hair. You can decide to show a part or comb all of your hair straight back. For a true classic style, either part your hair down the center of your scalp or comb it straight back. For a more contemporary twist, part your hair on the side of your scalp.
Once you've decided, create a horizontal part from ear to ear across the back of your scalp, creating a bottom and top section of hair. Secure the top section of hair (use pins if necessary) so that you can wrap the bottom section of hair around, securing it with pins, creating the "foundation" of the bun. The top section of hair should be protruding like a ponytail. Grab more pins and start securing the loose hair evenly around the foundation. Secure hair until there are no loose ends and the bun is in place. Top off with some hairspray for hold and you're ready to go.
This kind of bun will look elegant at the base, middle or on the upper scalp; it just depends on your preference.
The Messy Bun
This is the perfect hairstyle for the mornings when you've slept through your alarm and you're sprinting out the door, but you still need to have some kind of semblance about you. It takes a couple of tries to perfect the imperfection of this style, but once you get it, you'll have a dependable staple in your hair arsenal.
Flip your head upside down and tousle your hair, then flip your hair back up and secure it in a loose, but not too loose (you'll want your hair to stay secure through the day), ponytail with your hand. Grab a hair tie, preferably clear or the color of your hair and wrap once around the base of the ponytail. Pull the loose hair through the hair tie, folding the pony in half and repeat until all hair is secured. The bun should have lots of loose ends, distributed just so, and look stylishly disheveled. Throw on a pair of silver hoops and some mascara and you'll leave the house looking super urban chic.
Low Side Bun
This is a modern twist on a classic staple and works best with long hair. Sweep all of your hair into one low ponytail situated under either your left or your right ear and secure with a hair tie. Twist the ponytail all the way to the end and start wrapping around, securing with pins as you see fit while you go along. To balance out the bun, consider leaving a couple of tendrils of hair loose on the opposite side. Spray down with some hairspray and accessorize with your favorite hair clip.
