5+1 Easy Twisted Buns to Beat the Summer Heat

Ever tied your hair into a bun by making a ponytail, wrapping it around, and securing it with a hair tie? That’s a solid go-to. But if you want a truly eye-catching bun, part your hair down the middle, pull out a small section from each side, and with a simple trick, you’ll have a fuller, more striking bun framed beautifully by those two highlighted strands in no time.

A ponytail is a fantastic base for countless hairstyles, including buns. You can easily create a low, elegant bun that’s both stunning and refined—perfect for weddings or any special occasion.

Just start gathering your hair, and you’ll quickly have a bun that’s a bit like a bird’s nest—super practical when you’re in a rush. Want a more polished messy bun? A little styling and shaping will give you a cool, effortlessly chic look in minutes.

If your hair is shorter—say shoulder-length or just above—you can create a sleek, elegant bun in seconds with a hair tie. It’s a perfect pick for any event or even your everyday summer vibe.

Oversized scrunchies have been a hit for years, whether in subtle or bright colors. They’re not only stylish but super versatile. Try decorating your bun with one, or start with a braided ponytail to craft a truly unique summer hairstyle.

Last but not least, if you love braids, why not try a bun made from several braids? Just figure out where each braid fits best, and in no time, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind, stunning hairstyle that’ll leave everyone breathless. Need a reason to learn it today?
