My Top 5 Ways To Style A Bun

No matter how long or short your tresses are, you can not deny that you have tried all types of different hairstyles from various tutorials over the web. But let’s be honest, those efforts end in failure more than often than either of us care to admit. Also with the kind of busy lifestyle we have today, buns might be a blessing and save a lot of time while creating a beautiful illusion of effort.

On The Top:

One of the easiest ways to style a bun, the top knot can be a savior for
mornings when you decided to sleep in just a little more. And you don’t need to worry about the length of your hair, it works for both long and short hair. You can also experiment with a half top knot or two top knots that can totally give you the boho look. You can always add oxidized jewelery to complete the look.

Push It To The Side:

Be it date nights, a colleague’s engagement or formal event. Side buns have the brilliant ability to give you a beautiful vibe and an erudite look. Also, they look amazing with both western and ethnic wear. There are innumerable ways to make a side bun. The easiest way would be to part your hair like you normally do and grab all the hair on to one side and twist them till the end and roll the entire length and fix it up with a hair tie or pins. If you want to add some spice to it, you can also tease a few ends and give it a messy look.

Keep Braiding, Love:

Yet another hairstyle that is bound to make you look elegant and can be styled in many ways. The easiest way would be to make a braid in the most usual way that you do and twist it into a bun. If you have a little time to practice you can also make a braid in the front, ending in a bun like in the picture. Yet another approach is to make a low pony, create some space in the middle of where it touches your head and make the pony pass through this space. Do it repeatedly and you will have a braided bun without even braiding.

The Criss-Cross:

This might be one of the easiest on the list. Just leave aside a section on either end of your head before making a bun. And just slide them across each other and fix them with a pin. Not only does it look beautiful, it also saves you a lot of time and effort.

The Plot Twist:

A fairly simple yet stylish bun. It might be a blessing for you if you have light hair since it adds a lot of volume to your hair. Just make two high ponytails like your mother used to make when you were a child (yeah, she was right all along); twist each one of them till the end. Now just intertwine the two hair ropes you just created. Voila, ready to rock!

Just a little something before you go: You can always use a simple bandana to tie over your top knot or put pretty clips on your side bun to enhance your look. For a more ethnic and Indian look, you can make use of a Gajra. A hair clip or a bow can also be majorly useful.
