This week we are going loopy for buns here at Beauty Review. We love how simple they can be, but our heart sings a little when we see a bun with a bit of razzle-dazzle going on.
So what if you want to add pizzazz to your look… where do you start?
Scrunchies might hold memories of the 90’s for some of us (and not always in a good way), but when thrown over a bun they can add a touch of instant fun or glamour, and can be as basic or embellished as you like.
Speaking of glam… spin pins can be as simple as Cameo’s bobby spinners, or they can be wonderfully elaborate, featuring pearls and jewels. And when spun into your hair they give a touch of sparkle. You can even DIY your own spin pins by gluing your favourite gems onto the ends.
Whatever bun style you’re rocking, whether it be high and held-in or low and loose, a headband or headscarf are simple ways to add a chic or carefree element to your look.
Bun jaws sound kind of scary, they even look a little scary, but once clamped around your bun they give an effortlessly tidy and put together style – perfect for a day at the office or school pickup.
Off to a ball, cocktail function or even a wedding? Add interest to a simple bun by slipping in a jeweled slide so it sits to the side or just above the side of your style.
Speaking of gussying yourself up for a special event, another way to get happening hair – even if yours is on the short side - is to invest in a hairpiece. You can get pieces that have already been styled in braids, curls or picture perfect buns, so you can simply clip it in and go.
There we have it, our top tips for taking your basic bun and making it beautiful. Do you like to keep your bun simple, or do you like to add a little sass? Have we inspired you to give any of these accessories a go? Or is there one we’ve missed that we need to know about? Chat away!
