  • Regardless of your hair type and texture, ensure your bun isn’t too tight. Tight hairdos pull at the hair and scalp, compromising both their health.
  • Common styling tools you would need for a bun hairstyle are bobby pins, elastic bands, styling combs, heat styling tools, and accessories according to the occasion.
  • Bun hairstyles will hold better on one-day-old hair as scalp oils will get enough time to coat the hair for a good grip.
  • When choosing your bun hairstyle, consider the possibility of wearing hats and scarves. This will give you an idea of how you can style your bun around them.

protip_icon Quick Tip
If you have neck-length hair, try a mini half-up bun that looks pretty and is easy to style.

When styling curly updos like this, here are some words of wisdom from the curly hair expert herself, Casey Simmons owner of Royal Locks Curl Care. She says, “Natural curls can ditch the curling iron when styling this bun. Curly hair is a perfect finish for this simple updo or simple chignon. Reactivate the curls in the pieces of hair that hang loose and frame your face with extra cream or gel, twist around your fingers and gently scrunch upwards. Keep the ends of your curls out of the bun and let them come through upwards creating a cascade of curls around it.”

A top knot involves pulling all your hair up to make a knot – it could be a high ponytail or a high bun. A bun can be high or low and must be wrapped around itself.

Are low buns better than high buns?

The shape of your face determines whether a high bun or a low bun is more suitable for you. Low buns look good on a long, slim face as they pull back all the hair to open up the face. A high bun suits rounder or fuller faces, giving it a slimmer appearance.

How long does your hair have to be for a top bun?

Your hair has to be about 10-15 inches long for a neat top bun without flyaways.

Do buns damage your hair?

Yes. Wearing a bun regularly, or for extended periods of time, pulls on the scalp, causing tension and leading to breakage.
