20 Bun Hairstyle Ideas That Require Virtually No Energy
Consider your summer hair problems solved.
The very second the weather picks back up each summer, I accept the fact that I'll be wearing a bun hairstyle for the foreseeable future. That said, the thought of wrapping my hair into a boring, blah bun every damn day is pretty bleak. So in an effort to, idk, look good while sweating my ass off, I combed through Instagram to find the coolest (and easiest!) bun hairstyle ideas of all time. Ahead, 20 so-pretty hairstyles I plan on wearing constantly.
1. Low-Bun Hairstyle

Add a lil' something extra to your sleek, low-bun hairstyle by weaving (or braiding!) a silk scarf through the base. Make sure you smooth a styling cream throughout the finished style to slick down any flyaways.
2. Cornrow-Bun Hairstyle

This multi-braided bun is perfect for days when you want those braids out of your face. Just twist your braids into a knot at the crown of your head and secure them with an elastic.
3. Loose-Bun Hairstyle

This wispy, loose-bun hairstyle is the ideal summer vibe. The more texture and grit in your hair the better, so douse your roots with a dry volumizing spray before you get started.
4. Braided-Bun Hairstyle

Want to take your bun to the next level without putting in a major effort? Look towards this braided-bun hairstyle, which has the perfect amount of edge.
5. Pigtail-Bun Hairstyle

Two baby pigtail buns at the nape of your neck make for the easiest (and cutest!) summer hairstyle. Feel free to leave a few pieces hanging out in the front for a softer finish.
6. Twisted-Bun Hairstyle

This twisted-bun hairstyle looks crazy complicated, but it's actually totally doable. No braiding is required in this look—you'll twist your hair into a sleek bun at the bottom of your neck, and let it softly fall where it may.
7. 90's Bun Hairstyle

This '90s-inspired bun is about to become your go-to weekend hairstyle. Two loose, face-framing pieces really define this look (note: it's easiest to section them off before you secure your bun), so don't be afraid to break out your flat iron to get them sleek.
8. Curly Topknot Bun

What's better than a classic bun on the top of your head? Legit nothing. To keep your curls hydrated and shiny, brush a leave-in conditioner through your hair before you tie it off into a bun.
9. Double-Bun Hairstyle

Sick of your usual basic-ass bun? Switch things up with this crazy-cool double-bun hairstyle, and swap your rubber bands for a couple gold hair pins.
10. Messy-Bun Hairstyle

The whole point of a messy bun is that it's quick and easy, but if you want it to look purposely messy, not garbage-fire messy, mist your hair with dry shampoo or texturizing spray before throwing it in a loose bun.
11. Bun and Ponytail Hairstyle

Can't decide if you want to go the ponytail or bun route? Been there. Try this bun and ponytail hybrid for a look that's both subtle and pretty, then tie a ribbon around the whole thing to amp up the ~elegance~.
12. Twisted-and-Wrapped Bun Hairstyle

Sure, you wear a sleek, low bun most days of the week, but how often do you decorate it before running out the door? Finish off your bun with a wrapping of ribbon, gold wire, or even a scrunchie to mix things up.
13. Curly-Bun Hairstyle

A couple of loose, face-framing pieces makes this bun hairstyle look so effortless. The best part? There's no need to set this look with hairspray—play around with it throughout the day to keep it messy and soft.
14. Faux Curly Bangs Bun

This high-bun hairstyle gives off the illusion of cute, eye-skimming bangs, proving you can switch up your entire look in two minutes flat.

Yup, your bun hairstyle can look crazy unique if you want it to. Recreate this style by wrapping a three-strand braid around itself on the top of your head. Perch it just off to the side to give it a fascinator feel.
18. Topknot Bun Hairstyle

This bun hairstyle looks ridiculously polished, so feel free to wear it on repeat at the office. Sleek and smooth is key here, so comb a dollop of smoothing cream through your hair, from roots to tips, before brushing your hair into a topknot.
19. Bangs and Bun Hairstyle

This bangs-and bun-combo is so pretty, I wouldn't be surprised if you called your hairstylist RN and booked that haircut you've been debating for a full year.
20. Accessorized Half-Bun Hairstyle

Remember that half-up hairstyle you wore for the better part of 2018? Consider this accessorized bun your new go-to (and how pretty would these jeweled clips look with it?).
