Be it a clean top knot or a soft messy bun, hair buns have evolved as the go-to hairstyle for most girls for literally any occasion. Greasy hair? Don't have enough time for curls or a blow out? Call it the lazy girl hair style or the go-to elegant look to complement almost any outfit – it's safe to say that hair buns are pretty awesome. This perfect hairstyle hack for both last minute plans and a night of celebrations, is equal parts classic, nonchalant, aspirational and totally achievable. Hair buns not only look good, they are also pretty versatile and work most of the time. Yet, you have to pay attention to what kind of bun works for your face shape. Higher buns will help elongate your neckline and will make you look more youthful. These however, appear less flattering on a long face. While a lower bun can be more glam or elegant, if you have a round shaped face, it can make you look plumper. This makes it even more important to know which hair bun to go for according to your face shape. For easier navigation to lock down on the hairstyle that suits you best, we've rounded up a guide to different types of bun hairstyles to come to the perfect bun for your face shape.
