Are high buns still fashionable

[Candlesandflowers]

I’m going to a formal event soon and want to have my hair in a high bun but one of my friends said they’re really old fashioned and only low buns are in style now.

This is the sort of thing I wanted as I’m just not sure the low bun works on me!

Wear what suits you

Low buns don't suit me either, they make me look like a granny!

Wear what you like, that particular style though is a bit Linda Carter tbh. A softer, less 'done' bun might look more modern.

On my clinic days I wear my very long hair up in a high bun. I always get compliments on it.

The Peru two killed that look really.

low bun!

@AbsoIutelyLovely haha that’s exactly what my friend said 😂

@ILikeDinosaurs yes I feel like that re looking like a granny which is such a shame as they look great on some people. I’ll look into a softer version thank you 😊

I sometimes shove my hair in a messy mid head bun. I wouldn't suit a high or low one

I have very long thick hair, I often do a molly-mae bun for work. Or I put my hair up in a high pony, plait the pony, then pull the plait apart to loosen it IYSWIM then wrap it in a bun.

Buns are great. Especially if you have long / thick hair.

I also do a 'croissant' bun. Just tie your hair like you're doing a pony but on the last pull through, don't pull it through, sort of split it apart and pull it to the top of your head. And there you have it, a lovely croissant sat on top of your head! (See below)

I like them. I twist my hair up before I put it in the bun and then later I can yank it out and have this messy curly look that I think looks nice.

Hi @Candlesandflowers i think a high bun looks so elegant. When i do that hairstyle i swear it takes 10 years off me! Looks amazing, go for it x

I like them but I think like everything to do with hair its all about what suits you and what works for your own hair.

High buns need to be messy and look effortless to be “in” at the moment. Lots of volume and bits falling out. Then you won’t look “Peru two” 😆

I love a high messy bun and think they are really elegant if done properly.

They make me look taller and my face slimmer too!! Win win

Agree, i love them.

You need a really gamine face to suit a low bun, otherwise granny.

Perhaps a French twist?

I like that look! I try it myself but it goes wonky :)

I always struggle to get a decent looking ‘messy’ bun when i try, however when I just shove it up as I’m about to clean the bathroom it often seems to looks fabulous 😂
