Guilty of never changing your hairstyle, the summer is the perfect time to switch up your look. So try these fuss-free hairstyles for an instant refresh.
The Hun Bun
Messy or sleek; the versatile half-bun is summer’s easiest hair trend! Celebrity fans including Margot Robbie, Khloe Kardashian and J-Lo have all been sporting the look. The ‘hun’ (or the half-bun) is the perfect mix of casual and comfortable. Follow our step by step guide and try the trend at home.
- Section the top half of your hair off, from the temple to the crown creating a half ponytail about 2 inches from your forehead.
- Start to create a bun shape and secure hair with grips.
- Add a clip-in hair extension weft into the bun to thicken out limp locks and create a thicker shape.
- Conceal by wrapping the hair extensions and your own hair over the clips.
Top Tip: Use a root spray to thicken out the hairline and cover not only grey hairs but bald or thin patches around the hairline.
Modern Age Top Knot
Perfect for second or third day hair, you can wear this hairstyle from day to night. The classic bun never dates but the 2017 version is higher, taller and better than ever. The topknot is officially the modern way to wear pulled-back styles. And we’re not the only ones who love a topknot; Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid and Karlie Kloss all rock the style effortlessly. Here’s how to.
- Apply a clip-in extension weft upside down at the nape of the neck. This way, when you comb the extensions into place the hair lies flat to the head.
- Secure the hair (with extensions wefts already clipped in place) into a sleek high ponytail.
- Split your ponytail into two and roll each section into a twist
- Start to wrap one section into a bun shape and secure with pins
- To create even more volume and shape, take another clip-in weft and clip in at the base of the bun and start to wrap around the bun
- Take the other section of your own hair and use to conceal the extensions.
- Secure with pins.
