Elizabethan To Modern - Buns

Elizabethan hairstyles are used in every day life to create different looks using buns, there very moderns and they are used and worn for style and as uniform.

Modern Bun
Today we use a modern bun in all types of ways, we use them for style, as they are so easy to create when you are in a rush in the mornings. We use them for work and uniform, some airlines, beauticians, hairdressers and other professionals wear this bun to have a neat sophisticated look. And other things like ballet exams, dancing or even just keeping your children hair out of their eyes. You can use a donut on the hair to get the perfect bun shape or you can just use the class grips and pins to create a bun too.

Braided Bun
A braided bun is still very fashionable yet is was used in the Elizabethan era, is so simple to create and very easy to do. Put the hair in to a bobble and braid all the hair, then wrap it all around the bobble to create a bun shape in pin in to place. This style is great for work to keep professional and useful on your children's hair to keep it out of the face.

Twisted Bun
Twisted buns are lovely and can create a really different messy look, if you have layers the bun will be a lot easier than a on length look. Getting the bun in to a bobble, twisting all the hair and the pinning around in a bun shape. These buns i don't see that often any more but they are still very modern to wear.

Top Knot
A top knot is all the craze right now, having all the hair slick back with a 'knot' on the top of your head is very stylish and sported by some very big celebrities. It slick, fashionable and gives you a mini face lift depending on how tight you like it. I like this look as i think it suits a lot of people, but on me I don't think I would be able to pull it off.

 

Messy Bun
Messy buns are very in, very easy and quick to do when you need that quick fix in the morning. Getting a bobble and roughly putting your hair up and using grips or pulling bits of the hair out the bun to create a messy look. A lot of girls wear this look as its very versatile, wearing it for a day out, a night out or even with a nice dress can change the whole look and add some edge.

 

Half- up Top Knot
Little top knots on the top of the head are very in fashion too, grabbing the front section of the hair and twisting it in to a little bun adds a little punk to a look. A lot of girls are wearing this right now and I love it.

 


Double Top Knot
Just like the half up top knot, this is very similar apart from the hair has two buns on each side of the head as apposed to one on the top. So easy to create just like the half up top knot but it looks very much so like cat ears. Miley Cyrus has had this look and its debatable whether is fashionable or not - I guess it depends how you wear it.

 

Man Bun 
Today it is debatable if the man bun is fashionable or not. A lot of men have grown their hair to get it up in a bobble but shaved the backs and sides very short so its just long on top. The hair can be worn forwards with a cute fringe backwards to create a quiff and then scraped back in to a bobble to create the 'man bun'. I think this look suits a few men but I think this style has gone past it now and the classic mens cuts or quiffs are best.
