BANANA BUN
Say hello to the banana bun! This Parisian hair trend has been taking over Pinterest and will be your new go-to lazy day hairstyle. So, what exactly is a banana bun? Read on for everything you need to know.
BANANA BUN
First things first, what is the banana bun? Essentially, it's the cool-girl, messier take on the classic French twist. The banana bun embraces fly aways and messy locks for that perfectly undone look. It takes no real form, with its only characteristics being low slung, twisted and more vertical in shape. All the while looking super chic! It's the ultimate lazy girl hairstyle which we think it's going to take your usual topknots place.
What we love most about this French girl style is that it's super low maintenance and so easy to achieve. Here's how to nail the look:
- Start with some texture and grip in your hair prior to styling. You can use dry shampoo or a texturising spray. Otherwise, the banana bun works perfectly on messy second or third-day hair. We also find this style works best on straight hair, so for best results, quickly run over your locks with a straightener.
- With plenty of bobby pins on hand, twist, tie or roll your hair up into a low bun. Rather than using an elastic, use bobby pins to secure your locks into place. Keep pinning until everything is secure.
- Next, pull out some pieces at the front and loosen the bun using your fingers. The aim of the game is to create a super relaxed, oblong bun. And the messier and more asymmetric, the better!
Yep, that's it. It's really that easy! What are your thoughts on the banana bun? We think it's going to be a serious hair trend for 2017.
