Bun Hairstyles For Practical and Chic


Bun hairstyles are both practical and fashionable. Keeping strands out of your face makes for the ideal workout or video call with your mom.

Classic Ballerina Bun

Ballerina buns are suitable for people of all ages and occasions. They are ideal for formal events and date nights. Keep your hair sleek and straight back to achieve a gorgeous ballerina bun. Adding a cute ribbon can further accentuate its style.




Braiding can add texture and depth to your ballerina bun. From twisting your ponytail into a braid to side fishtail braids or seashell-inspired braided buns – braiding adds interest and gives your bun an eye-catching edge. Secure any flyaway strands with small pins, or use Tendu Super Pins for added durability.

For a more casual style, leave some loose strands around the bun. Use hairspray or mousse to keep them from falling throughout the day. Adding a hair grip can provide added security.








Using extensions is also a popular method for wearing a ballerina bun. This option can achieve a more impactful style for those with thick or full locks.

Twisted Bun

A twisted bun is perfect for updating your updo without compromising its polished aesthetic. Spray some hairspray for a long-term hold. This feminine yet sophisticated style is versatile and can be accessorized with barrettes, bows, or flowers for various events.



Thicker locks are ideal for a twisted bun as they help conceal loose strands or flyaways. Incorporating a fishtail braid can add an elegant finish to the hairstyle.

Start by creating a low ponytail, then twist the ends around each other to form rope-like coils. Wrap the rope-like piece around the ponytail base and secure it with bobby pins if desired.

A side braid can add romance and elegance to any twisted bun. It works well for brunch with friends, casual date nights, or formal events.

Face-Framing Tendrils

Face-framing tendrils have made a comeback as a throwback trend from the 1990s. They add soft femininity to sleek ponytails or messy buns. Use Shea Moisture Papaya
