Ballerina Bun
The ballerina knot is the classic among the dress hairstyles and is suitable for almost every hair. The only condition: For the bun you need at least shoulder-length hair.
That’s how it works:
- Comb the hair strictly to the back, tie it to a high ponytail and fix it with a hair tie.
- Twist the braid in, form it into a snail and fix it with hair clips or bobby pins.
- Spray some shine spray for a finish. This provides a noble touch!
If you have thin or shorter hair by nature, you can pimp the bun with a bun cushion. This takes a little longer, but it cheats a lot of volume and looks even neater.
Messy Bun
Instead of accurate and strict styling, the Messy Bun convinces with its casual styling. The motto is: the untidier the hair, the better. The styling looks as if you just got up and put your hair up – undone. We remember those situations where we twirl our manes loosely up before we get in the shower and then marvel at the successful hairstyle.
That’s how it works:
- The Bun works best with unwashed hair. Alternatively, add some Sea Salt Spray or dry shampoo to the lengths.
- Now gather the hair loosely at the back of the head or neck, form it into a bun and fix it with bobby pins or a rubber.
- For the Undone Touch pull out single strands and define them with a styling cream. Hairspray over it, done!
Low bun
Compared to the Ballerina bun, the Low Bun sits deep in the neck and can be worn both elegantly and undone. A particularly noble variation of the low bun is the chignon. Meghan Markle also loves the chignon. Looks noble and uncomplicated at the same time – the perfect everyday hairstyle!
That’s how it works:
- For the neck bun or chignon comb the hair tightly backwards.
- Now twist the lengths loosely into a knot and fix with hairpins.
- If you like, you can use a bun cushion and twist in a few strands with a curling iron.
Top knot
If you want to stretch your round face, try the Topknot or High Bun. The bun is not only easy to style, it also proves to be wind and weather resistant. A few accessories, hair clips or ribbons give the bun a cool upgrade in no time.
That’s how it works:
- Comb the hairs upwards and tie them high up on the crown to a strict or messy ponytail.
- Then twist lengths in and pin them.
Braided bun
Everyone can be classic! A bun with a braiding element ensures a special twist. Three ideas:
- For this purpose, for example, tie a high ponytail, braid the hair and twist it into a knot. The end of the braid is fixed with hairpins.
- Also popular: braid the hair from the base backwards to the French braid and roll it up from the middle to the bun.
- Professionals dare to braid the hair at the back of the head from the neck upwards – the Upside Down Bun.
Half-Bun
A special variation of the bun is the Half-Bun. Just turn the top hair into the bun and leave the rest of the hair open.
That’s how it works:
- Turn the top hair to the hair knot and fix it with a hair tie.
- Leave the remaining hair open.
- A little hairspray provides hold.
Space buns
This look is the must-have among the festival hairstyles: Space Buns. Instead of only one hair knot, two snails decorate the mop of hair!
That’s how it works:
- For more grip, rub a blob of hair gel into the palms of your hands and distribute in the lengths.
- Now draw a center parting and divide the hair into two parts.
- Comb each part strictly upwards, twist into a snail and pin with staples. Use hairspray if necessary.
