The bun is a beloved hairstyle among women in South Korea, with many celebrities sporting this look daily as it effortlessly complements both sophisticated work attire and a dynamic, playful vibe. During sweltering hot days, a bun can be your savior when stepping out. Here are some adorable bun styles that Korean women often wear, which you can draw inspiration from.
The Basic Bun
Create a center part at the crown of your head. Simply twist your ponytail around your index finger before coiling it into a bun. Alternatively, you can make your bun more intricate by tying a low ponytail and then folding the hair back up. Split the remaining tail in half and coil it around the bun, securing it with an elastic band. You may also use a light hairspray to keep those tiny strands in place very subtly.
The Low Bun
This is one of the popular variations of the simple bun. Just leave a longer tail, dividing the remaining hair into two equal parts. Tie these parts together with another elastic, twist once, and thread the previously folded bun through. Gently pull the top hair to add some volume.
The Top Knot
Grasp the hair near the ends with one hand and close to the scalp with the other, then twist it uniformly from the ends to the roots. Let go of the hair and start coiling it into a circle. Finally, secure the bun with an elastic, loosening it with your finger, and leave some hair on both sides of your forehead to add a romantic touch.
Crab Claw Clip
This accessory is familiar to women of all ages and styles. Not only does it help keep hair neat and tidy, but it’s also a perfect companion for those seeking a youthful transformation. Tie your hair in a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, then fold the tail back and secure it with a long crab claw clip. This will keep your hair in place without any strands falling out.
Bobby Pins to the Rescue
Simply tie your hair in a high bun and then use bobby pins with diverse designs and colors to pin up the hair near the nape. With silver or gold-colored bobby pins, you’ll shine like a star.
