The Big Bun Theory ❤

I find for the summer months the easiest and most comfortable way to style my hair is up! Whether that means a bun or a ponytail it's just a lot cooler and you don't feel like your hair is weighing you down especially if you're out shopping all day. I saw this picture on tumblr and just had to recreate all of the styles, so here are four simple different ways to style your hair in a bun!

Messy Bun

The first one is pretty simple, I used a hair "donut" as they are sometimes called, I tend to go with "fake bun". It makes the style a million times easier and you can make the bun big even if your hair is naturally quite thin!

Firstly I tied my hair up in a high ponytail, securing it with a bobbin. Then I get the hair donut and wrap my hair around that by placing it at the end of the ponytail and wrapping it around by folding the hair bun outwards. When you get to the end you can either secure it more tightly with booby pins or make it a bit messier by pulling the hair a little so its not as neat!

Ballerina Bun

Now for this one I went for a smaller sized hair donut as I wanted it to look more dainty and not as big as the messy bun. So using this the same way as before except with a side ponytail, I secured this one with bobby pins just because it was on the side of my head and I didn't want it to fall down throughout the day.

Bow Bun

For this bun I didn't use a hair donut because you need to be able to "cut" the bun in half. You start  by doing a high pony tail, but instead of pulling the hair all the way through the bobbin at the end, leave it so it makes a loose bun. When you have it the size you want it take a piece of hair about an inch or so thick and pull that out of the bobbin. Wrap it over the bun shape to create a bow and bobby pin it in place!

Boho Braid Bun

This style of bun is definitely my favourite and it's super easy like the rest of them. Basically it's the same steps as the Messy Bun but leave enough hair out of the bun to plait into the braid. You can do a fishtail braid or a standard braid, either will work fine. Wrap this around the end of the bun and secure it with a bobby pin at the back. To make the style look more boho you can mess the hair a bit more in the front by pulling it slightly to make it looser.

Hope you guys enjoyed these hairstyles!
Have an amazing day :)
