High Bun Hairstyles

You can hardly find a girl who hasn't tried doing a high bun at least once. Fortunately, there are many bun variations starting from carelessly pinned curls and ending with stylish spick-and-span hairstyles. Bun hairstyles gained popularity as they are comfortable to wear and can accentuate facial features.

Buns for Short Hair

You'll get a cute bun if you have chin-length hair. If you have enough hair to pull back into a small ponytail, you have enough hair for a bun. However, you'll need a couple of techniques that will help to make your hairstyle voluminous. You can backcomb the hair, curl it, and use synthetic hairpieces.

Divide your hair into two parts. Gather the upper part into a high bun on the top of the head.

Buns for Medium-Length Hair

A high bun for medium-length hair doesn't need any hair accessories. Plus, you can get a perfect hairstyle regardless of your hair texture.

Types of buns for medium-length hair

• Classic. A sleek bun is a modest variant. Such a hairstyle doesn't ask for any hair accessories or braids, as it should look simple and chic.
• Messy. This option doesn't require your hair to be slicked back — some strands can fall down freely. At first glance, a bun looks careless. However, to get this hairstyle, you'll need some time and effort.
• Voluminous. Before doing a bun, curl your hair to get extra volume. A voluminous bun complemented by flower or rhinestone barrettes is an ideal hairstyle for special occasions. You can also put on a headband.
• A donut bun. To get this retro hairstyle, you'll need a donut hair bun. Slip it onto a ponytail, then cover the bun with your hair. Finally, twirl the hair around the bun to create a voluminous hairstyle.

Buns for Long Hair

High buns for long hair are identical to variations for medium-length hair. Such a hairstyle looks voluminous thanks to the hair length. In addition, you can do a messy bun without using hair elastics — twist your hair and then wrap it around itself.

A high bun complemented by a braid looks stunning on long hair. To get this hairstyle, part of the hair is twisted into a bun. The rest of the hair is braided and wrapped around the head. Do a French braid from the base of your neck up to the crown of the head and create a messy bun. It will make your look unique.

It's better not to wear high buns on long hair too often as the hair is quite thick, and it may cause discomfort while wearing it for a long time.

Bun Hairstyles for Men

Today, high bun hairstyles for men are the height of fashion. There are two types of men's buns:

• Man bun. Gather your long hair and twist it into a high bun. You don't have to make your hair super smooth. The messy style will make your look casual and masculine.
• Top knot. It goes perfectly with an undercut. A knot should be neat, and the sides shaved really short.

High Buns for Kids

The main point about any children's hairstyle is strong fixation. Kids are super energetic, and not every hairstyle can withstand several hours of active children's play. Hairstyles should be quick and easy so a kid will be able to sit still while a hair stylist is doing the job.

A lace braided bun is an ideal option for girls. Secure it with bobby pins, and it'll last all day.

Classic double buns will look lovely. You can do them either tight or messy.

If you need to get a stunning hairstyle for a festive event, use a donut hair bun for more volume. You can complement a donut bun with a braid, ribbons, or a delicate headband.

A high bun is a perfect hairstyle for formal dresses and casual outfits alike. This hairstyle emphasizes one's facial features and elongates the neck. Various options allow you to look stunning all the time.
