Side Bun Hairstyles

Side bun hairstyles are great hairstyles appropriate for every occasion.
They are elegant, classy and can be styled differently in order to obtain a modern or a more retro look. This type of hairstyle can be easily created on straight, curly or wavy hair.
It can actually be styled on short, medium and long hairstyles.

This type of side bun is low maintenance and can be styled differently depending on the desired result. The bun can be styled to obtain an elegant and classic updo hairstyle appropriate for formal events or it can be styled to obtain a more casual updo hairstyle.

On short hairstyles the side bun will actually be more of a faux-bun hairstyle, since there isn't much hair to style the bun. It looks gorgeous on sleek straight hair with side swept or straight across bangs, but it can be styled on curly hair too.

The hair needs to be combed and gathered slightly on one side of the head around the nape of the neck.
The gathered hair should be back combed and pinned close to the scalp to form a faux messy bun. Set the hair with extra hold hair spray so the hair styled in a bun will not lose it's messy texture.

For medium and long hairstyles the hair can be combed back and pulled into a side ponytail. Part the ponytail in two and twist the two sections around.
Twist or knot the ponytail close to the scalp and pin it in place using bobby pins.

If you have bangs you can wear them as regular or you can hide them using hair gel by combing them sideways, close to the scalp.

Acessorize your side bun hairstyle with hair accessories or hair jewelery for a more glamorous and sophisticated look.

Celebrities have always been a good source of inspiration when it comes to hairstyles because they always have their tresses styled according to the latest trends.
Wear you side bun hairstyle just like Selena Gomez, Audrina Patridge, Paris Hilton etc.

Your hair will look gorgeous no matter what in a matter of minutes. Apply some shine spray to your beautiful styled tresses to make the hair appear more lustrous and healthy.
