DOUBLE BUN HAIRSTYLE 👱🏼‍♀️

Okay, so you know how much I rave about a slicked-back bun for those days you need to look polished? Well, let me tell you, lately I've been completely obsessed with switching it up to a cute double bun hairstyle! It gives off such a fun, playful vibe but can also look super chic and put-together if you want it to. And the best part? It looks way more complicated than it actually is – seriously, it's one of the easiest hairstyles I've mastered for my long hair. Forget spending hours on your hair; this look is all about effortless cool. I often get asked how I achieve that perfectly imperfect messy double bun look, especially with my blonde and light brown hair. My secret, which I picked up after many trials, is to always work with the bottom half of my hair first. It gives a better foundation and helps control the volume for the top bun, making sure everything stays put throughout the day. Here’s my quick routine for getting those adorable twin buns: First, I part my hair down the middle, making sure it's as neat as I can get it from the front view. Then, I take one side and gather the bottom section of my hair into a high ponytail, right where I want the base of my bun to sit, securing it with a thin elastic. Before twisting, I like to pull out a few face-framing pieces around my temples and ears to soften the look – this is key for that effortless, casual feel! Once the bottom sections are secured on both sides, I twist each ponytail into a loose bun. I'm not aiming for perfection here; a little messiness adds to the charm! I then secure each bun in place with a couple of bobby pins, making sure they feel firm. Next, I tackle the top sections. I gather the remaining hair on each side, carefully combining it with the already-formed bottom bun. I then twist this combined section around the initial bun, creating a fuller, more voluminous double bun. This layering technique, doing the bottom half first then the top, really helps create that full, bouncy look without feeling too heavy or looking flat. It also works wonders if you have particularly thick hair and struggle to get all your strands into a single, neat bun. For those with long hair, don't be afraid to let a few ends stick out for an extra messy touch! For those days when I want a slightly more 'slicked-back double bun' feel without sacrificing the cuteness, I use a little hair gel or pomade around my hairline to tame flyaways, then brush it back smoothly before creating the buns. It gives a clean edge to the playful style. And if you’re looking for variations, try playing with the height – super high buns for a playful, almost toddler-like look, or lower ones for a more bohemian vibe. You can even add cute scrunchies or hair scarves! This style is seriously versatile, whether you're heading to brunch, a festival, a casual day out, or just need your hair out of your face while still looking cute. It's my absolute go-to for adding a touch of fun and practicality to any outfit, and I promise, once you try it, you'll be hooked too!
