Considering the first decade and a half of my life was spent with my hair in a bun—ballet bunhead here!—it's no wonder the classic and easy style is one of my favorites. I remember fussing as a kid over fly-aways, or "wispies" as I used to call them, and making my hair as tight and slicked back as possible, nowadays I prefer my buns to be perfectly messy with an undone look. Below are some variations that are currently inspiring me to get creative in the bun department.
High and shaped like a fan. Side note, how cool is her makeup?!
Full and thick.
Messy and low with volume at the crown.
Extra piecey "wispies".
Top bun, sitting smack dab on top.
An image from a recent photo shoot I did with Ariel Gordon Jewelry. Loved this chunky bun the hairstylist created. See more images from the shoot here.

I am a bun girl as well, pony tails just never really looked right on me, probably because I have thick curly hair!

I used to do ballet too, and wore buns nearly everyday. I'm starting to wear them more now. They're such an easy and actually versatile look! Love these photogs.

I feel like my hair is always in a bun but I don't think my buns ever look as good as these.
These are all so beautiful! Perfectly imperfect!

Love love the bun. It is my classic go-to as well, maybe because I posses no ability to braid. I like mine smack on the top of my head and messy.
I love buns! They are so quick and effortless when you don't have too much time or when you just want a simple look. Love your blog! Following!
