Don’t Jump the Bun | Jay Birmingham

September 08, 2023

This week, I want to talk to you about what I believe to be one of the most glamorous, versatile and timeless hairstyles out there… the Bun. Now, you may consider this boring, too easy or uninspired, but I truly believe this style can open up endless beautiful possibilities. As the go-to hairstyle I like to use with all of my celebrity clients, let me talk you through its variations…

The ‘Messy’ Bun

As we all know by now, there is nothing messy about this infamous style. Effortlessly beautiful, the Messy Bun is carefully dishevelled but flawless at the same time. There is so much to be done with the style too – leave it all up, pull one side out at the front, pull both sides out at the front, straighten it, curl it – the options are endless. Plus, the Messy Bun looks so flattering on just about everyone!

The Sleek Bun

This refined and polished look emphasises its clean lines and precise styling, offering a sophisticated twist on the traditional bun. I like to opt for a Sleek Bun when I know my client is wearing something dramatic – meaning the hair needs to be kept clean and to the back – like this look with Khloe Kardashian for Balenciaga. Similarly, when Sofia Richie was attending wedding dress fittings in a glamorous yet casual, off-the-shoulder jumper, I knew a Sleek Bun would perfectly complement the classy styling.

The High Bun

Looking to make a bold statement? Then the High Bun is your ultimate go-to. With head-turning appeal, this style screams sophistication and glamour. Whether attending a stylish event or going about their daily routine, the High Bun will ensure your clients stand out from the crowd. P.S. This style is not limited to just one bun either, just look at Mahalia rocking the Double High Bun look!
