The relaxed bun continues to be a celebrity go-to. Thanks to the fashion for effortless, slightly messy hair, these buns have gained even more popularity. Pro tip: avoid pulling your hair too tight when styling, and leave a few curled strands loose around your face for a soft finish.

On many runways, stylists style models' hair into low buns and add unique accessories. We love this approach because accessories can elevate even the simplest hairstyle. A perfect example is a classic sleek bun adorned with leaf-shaped decorative pins.

If you have long, thick hair, consider yourself lucky: a full, fluffy bun is something many girls dream of. To achieve that effortlessly chic look, gently loosen the hair at your crown and inside the bun itself for a slightly undone feel.

A trendy loop bun created from a low ponytail is currently in vogue. It's an excellent quick everyday style that takes no more than five minutes. To make this hair knot, simply gather strands into a regular ponytail, form a neat loop with another elastic, then wrap the remaining tail around the base (see the video below for a visual guide). Secure everything with bobby pins.
