One of the simplest, most popular and always relevant hairstyles is a bun or a regular bun. There are many options for performing this hairstyle, so you can choose a hairstyle for attending a special event, for a regular walk, or even just as an option for a home hairstyle.

The hairstyle is very practical, since the hair gathered in a bun does not interfere or get into the eyes, which is especially important in the summer heat.

This hairstyle can be done on both long hair and medium hair. It can be extremely simple or very complex, decorated with braiding, various braids and waves.

Photos of various hairstyle options will allow you to choose an option for a girl of any type of appearance and of any age. The bun can be placed at the very top of the head, shifted to the back of the head, or made low, near the neck. The bun can be perfectly smooth or, on the contrary, deliberately disheveled.

The simplest bun hairstyle with an elastic band can be done in a couple of minutes, so it's a great everyday hairstyle. Here are the instructions for doing it:

• comb your hair well and make a ponytail, the height of the ponytail is determined at will;

• when passing the mass of hair through the elastic band for the last time, the tail is not pulled through completely, forming a small loop and leaving the bulk of the hair under the elastic band;

• take the remaining free mass of hair and carefully wrap it around the elastic band, securing it with hairpins. Previously, the hair can be rolled into a rope or braided, this will diversify the hairstyle;

• Carefully tuck the ends of the hair under the resulting bun;

• at the last stage you need to fix the hairstyle using a small amount of varnish;

• If desired, you can leave thin strands at the temples free, which can be curled into curls.

Lush option

To make the bun look more voluminous, special overlays are used - rollers. The diameter of the roller will determine how large the bun will be. Rollers, like other options for extensions, are easy to buy in a store today, but if you need to do styling and don’t have a roller at hand, you can use a regular thick sock. To do this, you just need to cut off the top part of the sock and roll it up with a roller.

The bun hairstyle is done with a roller or with a sock like this:

• hair is combed and pulled into a ponytail using an elastic band;

• How high the bun will be will depend on where the tail is made. So you can fasten the tail either on the top or back of the head, or at the neck itself;

• put a prepared roller on the tail, and then, dividing the hair in the center, tuck it under the hairpiece, securing it with hairpins;

• One strand can be left free so that you can then wrap it around the resulting bun.

Evening option

A beautiful evening hairstyle in the form of a bun can be done according to the algorithm described above. You just need to decorate your hair using hairpins with “pearls” or flowers. For special occasions, tiaras and hairpins decorated with rhinestones are used.

The hairstyle with a braid looks very beautiful. There are various options for buns based on braids; various weaving techniques can be used - Greek, French braids, braids woven from two or four strands.

Let's look at how to make a simple but sophisticated version of a braided hairstyle:

• divide the hair into three parts, highlighting two small strands at the temples;

• We collect the bulk of the hair with an elastic band into a low ponytail and braid it;

• wrap the braid around the elastic band, securing it with hairpins;

• we braid the strands left at the temples into thin braids and wrap them around the resulting bun, securing them with bobby pins;

• We fix the hairstyle with varnish and decorate it with accessories if desired.

In many situations, hair tied up in a bun looks much neater and more stylish than loose strands or carefully styled curls. This hairstyle is out of style and time, it suits everyone, with the exception of older women with gray hair - it ages them and turns them into “grandmothers”. In this case, a modern, neat haircut would be ideal. For young women and young girls, a bun is very suitable, it is fashionable and has many options. To make your hair look modern, you need to know how to do it correctly and quickly.

Features of making a bun of short hair

If desired, you can make a bun from short hair. To do this, you need a bob-type haircut and hair length at least to the shoulders. It may not be possible to wrap the strands in a classic bun, but you can wrap them in curlers or curling irons and fix the curls in the form of a slightly careless, but lush and stylish bun. It should be placed on the back of the head, not too low.

To work, you will need a soft elastic band, bobby pins or pins, styling product, curling iron or curlers, and for thin hair, a special comb for blunting (backcombing).

If we describe the work step by step, we get the following sequence of operations:

• Treat the ends of the hair with styling product and curl the curls.
• Gather hair at the back of the head with an elastic band.
• Lightly comb each strand at the base to give the bun volume and fluffiness.
• Gently straightening the strands, arrange the curls so that they give the impression of a bun collected from curly hair.
• Secure your hair with bobby pins or hairpins.
• Fix with a light spray varnish.

To make such a bun look organic, you should pull out several thin strands from your hairstyle. If your hair is very short, you can choose extensions, ready-made hairpieces, and even already decorated buns with decor - it is important to choose them exactly to match your hair color. Good quality extensions made from natural hair or Kanekalon can blend perfectly with your own curls and be completely indistinguishable even when viewed closely.

Features of making a bun from long and medium length hair

A bun for long hair is a real classic. These hairstyles never go out of style and look great on any hair type. They can be combined with various bangs, use special linings for volume, or leave them natural. Bunks can be made on medium-length hair, the main thing is to follow simple rules:

1. It is difficult to make a bun on very clean hair - it quickly falls apart. It is better to do this hairstyle on the second day after washing.
2. To secure the ponytail under the bun, you need to choose an elastic band that matches your hair and is made of soft material so as not to injure your hair.
3. Bunches can be very diverse; they can be decorated with various hairpins, brooches, scarves and other decorative elements.

Making a bun for yourself at home is not at all difficult. The hair must be thoroughly combed, gathered into a ponytail with an elastic band and twisted around its base. The hairstyle can be varied - divide the hair into strands and twist them into a rope, and then collect them into a bun, gently intertwine the strands together to obtain a natural and voluminous bun, even braid them into a braid and then wrap an elastic band with it - you get a strict hairstyle “a la school” teacher."

Types of beams

A bun hairstyle is a rewarding basis for experimenting with your appearance. You can collect the strands in a smooth and tight bun very high on the top of the head, like ballerinas. This somewhat childish bun is suitable for girls with regular and delicate facial features and good, dense hair. If they are thin, the bun may be small, which will further enhance the feeling of “liquid” curls.

Lush, thick hair can be styled in different ways - gathered into a knot at the back of the head, placed on the top of the head, made into an asymmetrical bun, and so on. There are many types of buns, and their choice depends only on the wishes of the owner and the condition of her hair. Making buns is easy and the results are amazing. But this type of hairstyle can be tricky - if you choose the wrong technique or choose the wrong outfit, it can seem outdated or add age, and no one wants that.

Vanilla bunch

Previously, girls of this type were called Turgenev girls, but now they have acquired the name vanilla. Naturally, their favorite hairstyle has the same name. This is a soft, feminine and very simple bun, the creation of which will require a minimum of time and accessories - an elastic band, a comb, hairpins, and, if desired, hairspray to fix the finished bun.

The vanilla bun has its own characteristics - it should not be too neat, “sleek”, protruding short hairs give it a special charm, as if the girl had just gotten out of bed and simply twisted her hair into a bun. And another very important feature - the vanilla bun is done only on the top of the head.

To create it, you need to comb your hair, lift the strands up, securing them on the top of your head in a ponytail. Comb the collected hair again and gently twist it around the base of the ponytail, securing it with hairpins. The finished hairstyle can be treated with varnish, but you shouldn’t get carried away - the bun should look somewhat relaxed and at ease.

Messy bun

This hairstyle looks like it was done on the fly, however, even such a simple bun requires certain knowledge and skills.

Usually this is a low bun, can be positioned asymmetrically, tied so that not even individual hairs come out of it, but whole strands, but thin, graceful ones. You don’t have to fix your hair in a ponytail with an elastic band, but just wrap it around its axis, not too tightly. This way the bun looks more natural and relaxed.

Bun with bagel

A special foam lining in the shape of a donut or donut allows you to get a beautiful high bun with a clear shape. The choice of donut size depends on the size of the bun you want to get, and you need to take into account both the length and texture of the hair.

Nowadays, most often they do a large bun with a donut, located high on the head. To create it, you will need a donut to match your hair (they come in different colors - for blondes and brunettes, you can even find them for redheads), two elastic bands, a comb, a bristle brush for smoothing strands, and hairspray.

The hair is thoroughly combed using a brush with natural bristles - this way the hair becomes smooth and supple. Then you need to lower your head down, comb the strands and collect them high on the top of your head in a ponytail. Place a donut on the tail and carefully distribute the strands of the tail over its surface. Place a second elastic band on top, which will secure the hair on the surface of the donut. Carefully tuck the protruding strands under the base of the donut and secure the entire hairstyle with hairpins to match the hair. For reliability, the finished bundle can be varnished.

Volumetric beam

A fashionable and effective voluminous bun is quite easy to create. The main condition is that the hair is in good condition and preferably on the second day after washing, since too “fresh” strands fall apart and a voluminous bun can quickly fall apart. If your hair is still very clean, you can use styling products, such as texturizing paste.

The easiest way to make a bun is to not secure it with an elastic band or tie it not too tightly. You can use a fashionable “trick” - an invisiboble elastic band in the form of a piece of telephone cord. It doesn't tear your hair and allows you to pull it into a ponytail that isn't too tight.

The entire mass of hair must be divided into several strands and gently intertwined with each other. An important condition is that the hair should not be pulled too tightly, otherwise the required volume will not be obtained. If the hair is very thin or thin, the strands can be lightly combed along the length, but without being overly zealous.

Intertwined or softly twisted strands are rolled into a knot and secured with hairpins. The bun should be soft. If the volume is not enough, you can slightly “stretch” it, making it more magnificent.

Bun in a wedding hairstyle

Using a bun in wedding hairstyles is a very long-standing tradition; this makes it much easier to attach a tiara or wreath with a veil to the bride’s head. This hairstyle looks very beautiful and emphasizes the beauty and tenderness of the bride.

To get the perfect look, you need to carefully collect your hair and carefully secure the bun. No bride will like it if her hair suddenly starts to fall apart in the middle of the celebration. This alone can ruin the whole mood.

Very often, in a bride's hairstyle, a bun is collected from hair twisted into curls. They are carefully lifted up, smoothing the sides with a bristle brush so that the hairstyle is flawless. High on the top of the head, strands are fixed with an elastic band to match the hair so that it is not noticeable, then each curl is laid around the base of the ponytail. The strands are secured with invisible pins, as the pins can easily “pop out”.

Around such a bun you can easily attach an orange blossom wreath with a veil or place other wedding decorations.

Bun with sock base

If you want to make a big, stylish bun, but don’t have a donut or roller at hand, you can use “improvised means” - an ordinary sock. You need to choose a product of medium length, from soft, fairly loose knitwear, without a pattern, as close as possible to the shade of the hair color.

Making a hairstyle based on a sock is very simple. To do this, the part at the toes is cut off from the toe, and the remaining “pipe” is rolled into a volumetric ring. Then everything is extremely simple - the sock ring plays the role of a classic donut. In the same way as with the finished donut, the sock ring is put on the base of the ponytail, the hair is straightened, pressed with an elastic band and tucked under the bun. Just secure with pins, sprinkle with hairspray - and your fashionable, stylish hairstyle is ready!

Bun with a roller

You can create a stylish bun quite quickly if you use a special foam roller. It matches the hair color and has a button closure at the ends. To get the hairstyle, you need to connect the strands into a ponytail, and then carefully wrap the strands around the roller, starting from the bottom and pressing the ends of the hair with your fingers.

When the roller with the hair wound on it rises to the elastic band, its ends are connected by fastening the button. Now all that remains is to carefully straighten the hair at the place of the fastener so that it is not visible, and secure with hairpins.

Backcomb bun

This type of bun is especially suitable for very fine hair, since it will be very difficult to create anything out of it without backcombing. The “bun” can turn out to be very small, especially if there is not enough hair. Combing will quickly correct this situation.

You can make a simple voluminous bun by combing it into separate strands, smoothing them with a brush and gathering them together. But you can take a different path. You can comb your hair on your forehead and on the top of your head, leaving smooth strands on the sides. By laying your hair high like a bun, you can make a fairly fluffy bun on the top or back of your head. The result is a retro hairstyle that perfectly suits the style of the 60s.

This hairstyle must be done very carefully, otherwise the combed areas will be noticeable, and the bun will be untidy and ugly. It looks old and makes the overall look out of date.

Options for beautiful hairstyles using a bun

Based on the bun, you can create many hairstyle options that can be worn every day and used as an addition to a festive outfit.

A bun with loose hair is one of the simplest and most stylish options. It's not difficult to do. You need to collect the upper part of the hair as for a “malvina”, secure it with an elastic band approximately at the level of the back of the head, and collect the strands into a soft bun, securing it with hairpins or a decorative hair clip. The loose ends of the hair can be straightened with a straightener or curled into spiral curls with a curling iron.

To get a neat little bow on your head, your hair needs to be treated with styling foam and combed with a bristle brush until completely smooth. Gather your hair into a ponytail and twist it tightly, pinning it with hairpins. Treat the top of the bun with gel for fixation and shine. This type of bun can be placed anywhere - on the top of the head or at the back of the head. This sleek hairstyle looks good with straight, dense bangs.

For young and daring girls, a bun gives a huge scope for imagination. You can create two buns on the sides of your head in the style of Princess Leia from Star Wars, and to create a cosmic look, a tall cylindrical bun will come in handy. It's not as difficult to make as it seems, all you need is a few "terry" hair ties, which are put on the ponytail until the desired height is reached, and then wrapped with loose hair. The result is an original cylindrical bun that looks stylish with outfits made of leather and neoprene.

A bun goes well not only with smoothly collected hair.

• The strands can be left loose, creating the effect of a careless styling in boho style, or given an aristocratic look by using styling products with a glossy shine effect, or by using texturizing paste and hair clay.
• If you use special salt sprays, you can create a special texture in the “surfer’s girlfriend” style. This type of hair has a slight waviness, which adds volume, so the bun will be loose, textured and very modern.

Young ladies can have a little fun and make cute bun horns using the same technique as when creating a bun. Weaving, which is still fashionable this season, can be combined with buns. Various braids and “lattices” will neatly shape the head, and the free ends of the hair can be made into buns rather than hidden. Depending on the type of weaving, these can be flat bunches, “shells”, dense “bumps” or thin braids tightly rolled into a roll.

For stylish girls with thick and long hair, a half bun in the style of Angelina Jolie will suit you. To do this, you need to give the strands shine and smoothness, gather them into a high ponytail, separate a fairly voluminous strand and wrap it around the base of the ponytail. This hairstyle will look very impressive on well-groomed long hair cut in a straight line.

The bun can be as varied as your imagination allows. Introduce false strands, braids and curls into it, use hairpins, bows and ribbons, experiment with extensions - a bun can be surprisingly beautiful. This hairstyle will never go out of style and will look modern and stylish if you use our simple recommendations and descriptions.
