The Simplest New Way To Up Your Bun Game!

It’s no secret that we’re rather fond of buns here at BRHQ. They’re one of the easiest ways to hide a bad hair day while still managing to look effortlessly chic. However sometimes we tire of our old top knots and low slung buns. We’ll experiment with off to the side looks, two buns on top of the head, buns decorated with scrunchies, buns that are sleek, buns that are messy. But, to be honest of late we’ve been getting a little bored. And then we saw a new bun look that inspired bun-love all over again.

The great ‘they’ are calling it The Hun. You and I would better know it as a half bun.

Yeah, yeah, technically it’s not a new look, but it’s not a look we’ve see a lot of in the last wee while, so in the land of ‘fashun’ that makes the look ‘new’ again. New and huge. This look has exploded onto the runways, onto Instagram and onto a whole bunch of celebrity-type heads. And who can blame them for embracing this particular look? Its versatility is out of this world and best of all totally achievable for us normalish-haired types. Yep, your hair can be wavy, your hair can be curly, your hair can be straight, it can be dyed, or not. When it comes to creating your own ‘hun’ look, as long as your hair’s long enough to put up in half a bun you can do it. And the ways you can do it!

You can sit the bun at the top of your head, on the crown or at the nape. You can have fun by adding in braids. You can have it tight. You can have it loose. Sleek and sophisticated? Messily casual? It’s up to you!
Best of all, like all good buns, it too can hide a bad hair day while still making you look as if you’ve put in some effort.

So are you inspired by the half bun? Is it a look you’re keen on trying? Or are you ahead of the fashion curve and hunning it already?

I am trying to grow my hair long enough to have some kind of bun because I love the carefree look.

I've never been able to style my hair, I'm just so unco that it doesn't work! Teach me to do a normal bun and MAYBE one day I'd be able to pull off the Hun, lol. Would definitely be nice to have something other than a ponytail or straightened hair to do anyway.

I'm liking the look of the half bun! I'm wearing my hair in a bun most days at the moment. My hair is in such bad condition and it looks awful hence why I have been wearing my hair in a bun. I probably need to sort my hair out before I attempt the Hun!

Personally, the half buns that sit smack bang on the top of the head drive me nuts because E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E wears them...BUT, I still secretly want to try it lol. Good thing my thin hair can barely pull off a full head bun, there's no chance I could manage a half head one, it'd be the size of a Lindt ball (nom!).
