One hairstyle that never goes out of vogue is the Bun – it is classic
and timeless. This hairstyle is truly versatile as you can personalize
it depending on the occasion and your attire.From flirty to funky, chic to romantic, casual to the prom – buns can
be styled any way. Moreover, not only does a bun hairstyle ooze oodles
of feminine grace and charm but one can also glam it up in various ways.
Bun hairstyles look great on long hair. Here’s a look at some lovely bun hairstyles for long hair:
1. Top Knot Bun:
For that comfortable yet elegant and fashionable look, the top knot bun is the perfect choice.
It can be created quite effortlessly and complements casual wear as
well as looks classy and chic when worn with a cocktail dress or a
pretty gown. This simple high-bun style can even be your savior on a bad
hair day and would suit any type of hair texture.
Moreover, it can be transformed into a prom look by adding beautiful
hair accessories as Stacey Dash has styled her sleek top knot here:

2. Side Bun:
Playful and cool yet stylish, the side bun (loose, messy or
voluminous) is increasingly becoming popular over the traditional stiff
updo hairstyle. For a night out, evening party or any special occasion,
you can try this fun bun hairstyle. It does not really require any
professional skills to achieve this hairstyle.
In this look, the hair has to be given a side part and a part of the
forehead remains covered with hair as we see the pretty Selena Gomez
with her messy side bun here:
For a voluminous side bun, natural flowers may be added to perk up the look as Peaches Geldof has done here:

3. Messy Bun:
Another great hairstyle for long hair is the messy bun which is a
variation of the top knot bun, only more casual and fun as unlike it;
here the bun is not that high up on the head.
This style looks carefree and flirtatious yet gorgeous; and the key
is to pull out some strands from the bun and the nape of your neck to
get that face-framing look.
A messy bun with forehead fringe is a nice way to get that haphazard look which this style is all about.

bun for that neat yet elegant and gorgeous updo that will grab
attention.
