5 Chic Bun Hairstyles for Dirty Hair
1. Top Knot
The top knot is the boldest of buns and is perfect if your hair gets particularly greasy before a wash. Top knots have a lot of height and look best when the bun is tightly wound. It’s crucial that the style looks sleek and shiny—any bumps or flyaways can be distracting. Use Suave Professionals Natural Hold Micro Mist Hairspray to smooth out and stick any potential baby hair strands down and ensure that your bun won’t budge throughout the day. This style is ideal for a FaceTime date or virtual girls’ night in.
2. Low Messy Bun
Low messy buns are the epitome of relaxed, “I woke up like this” hairstyles. They are also perfect if you have some layers. While gathering your hair, make sure you’re doing it haphazardly and leave some layers out to frame your face. Spray a healthy amount of Bed Head by TIGI Queen Beach Salt Infused Texture Spray on the bun and use your hands to pull out some strands here and there to make it look more effortless. You can scrunch the root of your hair with your hand and some more spray to loosen the bun further and create more body. This look is ideal for video meetings for work as your hair will frame your face in a flattering way.
3. High Messy Bun
A high messy bun is a great opportunity to apply some leave-in conditioner or oil to the ends of your hair. Use this work from home time to give your strands some TLC while you work.
4. Half-Up Half-Down Bun
If you aren’t into committing to a full bun, a half-up half-down bun is a great alternative. When creating this style, you can either gather the top layer of your hair and create a bun with your hair tie, or you can pull the hair into a ponytail, secure it with a tie and then bobby pin your hair into your desired shape for a flatter bun. Add Bed Head by TIGI Superstar Queen For a Day Thickening Spray to the hair left down to create a fuller appearance and bring some life back to dirty hair.
5. Space Buns
Space buns can be done messy or clean, similar to the other buns already mentioned. The difference is that space buns bring an element of fun and whimsy to your look. Since you will be creating a part in your hair to separate the two buns, it’s important to apply Dove Refresh+Care Fresh Coconut Dry Shampoo to rid your roots of any unsightly oil and grease. Once you go in with dry shampoo, you’re ready to create your out of this world space buns look!
