Bun your hair up

Filed in archive Beauty on August 30, 2006

Once considered old-fashioned, sinister school-teacher hair style, the bun is making a comeback this fall. There's a twist to it, but that was to be expected.

As seen on the Jil Sander fall runway, the new buns will have to be rolled everywhere except around itself, so avoid the so-called snail style.

The best way to make a perfect trendy bun hairstyle is to make a low ponytail, about 1.5-2 inches higher than your hairline. (Once you get handy with making twisted buns, you can try doing it straight up, without the ponytail, like on the photo) Using a bit of hair anti-frizz product (do try the L'Oreal Serie Expert Liss Extreme Smoothing Cream - it's all mighty, even if your hair is completely unmanageable) tame your 'tail so it's smooth and slick. Turn and twist around and pin down often. When you're done use some hairspray for extra hold.

If you're still not sure why should you wear your hair like this, then listen carefully:
1. It's trendy to style your hair into a twisted bun.
2. No one will notice if you didn't have time to wash your hair.
3. Your face will look slimmer and your whole appearance will be more elegant.
4. It's easy and quick. If you sleep in late you can cut significantly your hair-styling time.
