When styling curly updos like this, here’s some words of wisdom from the curly hair expert herself, Casey Simmons owner of Royal Locks Curl Care. She says, “Natural curls can ditch the curling iron when styling this bun. Curly hair is a perfect finish for this simple updo or simple chignon. Reactivate the curls in the pieces of hair that hang loose and frame your face with extra cream or gel, twist around your fingers and gently scrunch upwards. Keep the ends of your curls out of the bun and let them come through upwards creating a cascade of curls around it.”

What’s the difference between a top knot and a bun? A top knot involves pulling all your hair up to make a knot – it could be a high ponytail or a high bun. A bun can be high or low and must be wrapped around itself. Are low buns better than high buns? The shape of your face determines whether a high bun or a low bun is more suitable for you. Low buns look good on a long, slim face as they pull back all the hair to open up the face. A high bun suits rounder or fuller faces, giving it a slimmer appearance. How long does your hair have to be for a top bun? Your hair has to be about 10-15 inches long for a neat top bun without flyaways. Do buns damage your hair? Yes. Wearing a bun regularly, or for extended periods of time, pulls on the scalp, causing tension and leading to breakage.
