If there's one thing we now know for sure, it's that being self-sufficient with our beauty and self-care routines is never a bad thing. When it comes to hair care, that could mean streamlining the number of hair products you use, shampooing less often, and utilizing quick hairstyles as often as possible. With the latter, one of the easiest looks in just about everybody's arsenal? A hair bun style.
"Bun hairstyles," "braid bun hairstyles," and "high bun hairstyles" were among Pinterest's most-searched terms this last year, and for good reason: it doesn't get much simpler. It's also become increasing popular in recent months, thanks to countless celebrities trying the hair trend and recreating Pamela Anderson's iconic messy updo. Still, while hair bun styles are some of the easiest to do at home in a pinch, there are so many different iterations you can try. From low buns to high buns to side buns and everything in between, the options are endless.
If you're looking for cute bun hairstyle inspiration for beginners and beyond, we've rounded up some easy hair tutorials to help you recreate the look at home. No matter your preference or style of choice, these hair buns will get you through your morning routine and onto Zoom (or into the office) without a hassle.
