The trend in recent years is the Faux Bun, the famous Messy Bun in English, which instantly adds maximum volume to your bun hairstyle. It allows you to style your hair easily and quickly.
How to choose a faux bun, buying guide.
When choosing a faux bun, consider not only the color and type of your hair (curly, wavy, or straight), but also the look you want to achieve. You may also want to have a variety of styles at your disposal, so a bun for formal occasions and one for workdays might be just right for you. Alternatively, some accessories are versatile and can be styled on their own.
There is a variety of pre-styled buns on the market. Many are designed to make your mornings faster and easier by limiting your time in front of the mirror. With accessories like these, you can quickly put together a selection of different looks for different occasions.
Although some hair extensions use clips or require being sewn into your existing hair, many products are built around durable hair ties, making them faster and more convenient to put on.
Some bun hairpieces can be styled, while others will always look the same as when you bought them. Be aware of the material before trying to style yours. Treating each material according to the manufacturer's instructions will extend the product's lifespan.
How to quickly tie a bun if you don't have much time.
The faux bun is specially designed for girls who want to enjoy a very chic style without having to spend too much product, time, or effort on their hair. This will give you more time to focus on your makeup or outfit! So, take note.
- The first step will be to decide whether you want your hair to be sleek or undone. In the first case, you will need to keep it damp and moisturized with a styling cream. In the second, you can make a bun with dry hair.
- Since we are usually short on time, you will probably want a messy bun, so take your brush or comb and get started.
- Gather your hair into a high ponytail. You can gather it at any height you prefer, although arches are generally just above the crown. Don't comb too much, because the style we are looking for is as natural as possible.
- You can use a hair donut for the arches or a hair clip. Although for the second option, you will need to have thick hair.
- Divide your hair into two sections, separate them, and wrap each around the ponytail, trying not to let it come out of place too much. When you have finished with each strand, hold it underneath with clips. Don't forget to hide them under the ponytail!
If you wish, you can loosen a few strands at the back and in front of your face to frame it a bit more.
If you prefer a sleek and more combed bun, follow the same procedure by applying a layer of hairspray or gel for a polished result.
Easy and quick gathered hairstyles with braids.
When it comes to braids, we have endless ideas with which we can experiment with easy updates to do at home and customize our way. Braids are ideal for gathering hair and preventing it from becoming uncontrollable in the middle of the day.
Two braids with ponytails:
A very feminine and very chic style that suits all ages. You just need to dampen your hair, detangle it, and divide it into two sections. The center line can be as you wish, straight or in different shapes. Start braiding the hair as close to the roots as possible down to the ends.
Unique half-braided ponytail hairstyle:
This style is a bit more elaborate, because you will need to start braiding your hair on one side, bring the braid to the back of your head, and finish it at the end on the opposite side. If you need help, you can ask someone to guide you at the back.

How to create elegant buns for big events:
One of the great advantages of simple elegant hairstyles is that you can customize them to take them to a gala or very important events. They will make your face stand out much more and you won't spend too much time doing them.
Medium braid with ponytail:
It's a really simple style to do, you just need to braid the top of the head until you reach the crown. Then, comb your hair thoroughly and try to make it as sleek as possible. Cover the ponytail with a strand of hair and you're done.
Sleek bun:
When it comes to a gala or very important events, what matters most is subtlety. We don't want to draw too much attention with an overly extravagant hairstyle, so a sleek bun will be our best option. In addition to cuts for mature women, you can also try this style.
Follow the same instructions to create a high bun making sure it is well styled. Once gathered, put a sock for an arch and arrange the hair around it. Comb whenever necessary and place it at the bottom of the ponytail.
