Combined with the perfect headband, and you have the ability to never get bored with your hairstyle again, even when wearing it in a bun.
How to style the perfect bun
The first step in selecting the perfect headband for your bow is to decide what style of bow you are going to wear. Since the bun is such a versatile hairstyle, you can wear it messy and carefree, or elegant and formal. If you are looking for a messy and casual style, be sure to ruffle your hair and pull out some pieces from your bun to make it look more natural. It looks best when it looks like it just woke up. Also, wrapping a few longer pieces of hair around the base of your ponytail will make it look completely natural.
If you wear a bun for a formal hairstyle, hair donuts are in style to create that perfect hairstyle. They keep the flight under control and are great for date night, girls night out or going to town. For these buns, make sure everything is combed back to create a sophisticated and sexy bun. You could even braid your ponytail and wrap it around your bun, creating a chic bun.
Blows up
For those days when you can’t be bothered to comb your hair, the bun + headband combo provides an easy solution. This hairstyle can’t take you more than 10 minutes and you’re out the door. It is ideal for running errands, meeting clients for lunch, meetings at work or evening appointments. Plus, you never have to worry if your hair stays in place because while these headbands look gorgeous in their bun, they also hold it in place. If you are in the uncomfortable stage of growing your bangs, headbands with a bow are perfect for keeping uncomfortable hairs from falling onto your face.
When selecting a headband, think about when you will go. Obviously, you will probably wear a different style of head band for the gym than for going out at night with your girls. Just because your hair is in a bun doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it. Opt for thinner, brighter headbands or with sequin or jewel lining.
Knocks down
