Tips For Choosing The Right Bun Hairstyle
Whether heading to a casual meet-up, a corporate meeting, or a glamorous event, a well-styled bun can instantly make anyone look better. With so many options to choose from, it’s very important to consider a few key factors, like your face shape, hair type, and the occasion to pick the right hairstyle for you. Here are some tips to help:
Face Shape
Buns complement face shapes in different ways. So, it is really important to know what face shape you have. For example, higher bun, like top knots, give your face a lift. So they are perfect for round faces. Lower buns, like a low chignon, softens sharp jaw angles of square-shaped faces. Heart-shaped faces look great in loose buns paired with face-framing bangs.
Hair Texture
Another very important factor is your hair type. Fine hair will look fuller when styled in textured or messy buns as they can add volume. Thick hair looks neat with structured, sleek buns. Curly hair generally looks great in a fun voluminous, messy bun embracing the texture.
Occasion
Lastly, a casual evening out may call for a messy bun, while a formal event would need a polished, elegant updo. So remember to always dress your hair to the occasion and feel confident when you leave the house. So now you know how to pick the right hairstyle for any occasion, but how do you make it stand out? Accessories, of course! They take the final look to a whole new level of magnificence. Learn how to accessorize your bun for any event or occasion in the next section.
How To Accessories Your Bun
Hair accessories make a huge difference in how your bun looks. They can make even the simplest of buns bold and statement-worthy. Here are some stunning accessories you should consider:
Decorative Pins
Depending on the style of the decorative pin you choose, your bun can look sophisticated and chic or elegant and romantic. A pearly or diamond decorative pin is perfect for formal business events, while a floral or rhinestone one will turn heads at weddings. Choose a design that pairs well with your outfit.
Scarves
Drape a colorful or patterned scarf loosely around the base of the bun and tie up the loose ends. You can also drape it over the head and allow it to flow at the back for a more bohemian look. Scarves are highly convenient and change your style in an instant.
Mix and Match
Don’t be afraid to wear multiple styles all at once. Delicate chains over clips make for a stunning look, especially if it reflects your personality.
Hair Ties Or Scrunchies
Keeping elastics or scrunchies under the bun is one of the easiest ways to ensure your hairstyle remains securely in place and also add a little oomph. Fabric-covered elastics or soft scrunchies are much better at minimizing hair breakage. Go ahead and experiment with different styles and patterns with your buns to see what looks best.

What’s the difference between a top knot and a bun? 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 bun hairstyles 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. How can I make my bun last all day? Apply on some styling gel, foam, cream, or mousse (depending on your hair type) before you style your locks. Style your hair in the preferred bun style and use hair-colored bobby pins or hair ties to secure it. Then spritz on some hairspray to secure the hairstyle in place. Carry a small hairspray with you so you can use it whenever you notice any stray strands. Are there any hairstyles that work well for thinner hair? If you have thin hair, and you want it to look full and thick, opt for a messy or back-combed bun or loose top knot as these styles show texture and fullness. You can also use bun makers to make your hairdo look fuller. Check out this amazing video on beautiful low-bun hairstyles for ladies!
