Buns

I grew up wearing ballerina buns, not for fashion but for functionality. My everyday hair style was part of growing up in a dance studio and who ever thought that the very hair style that was meant to leave you uniform-like and conform to the strict rules of ballet would one day become a way to make you stand out in the crowd? The ballerina bun, whether it be messy or sleek, is everything but a chameleon hairdo right now. It is a feasible way to show your fashionable and chic sense of style and can be worn to work, to play, or out running errands - it's so versatile and serves so many functional purposes, other than keeping hair out of your eyes pirouette after pirouette. Here are some cool buns that have been seen recently.

Sleek is cool but sometimes messy is better. A high bun on top of your head is bound to steal some glances.


Pulled loosely in the back, the hair softly frames the face and creates a romantic feel versus the generic rigid and crisp ballerina bun as seen here on Rachel McAdams and Heidi Klum.


Side buns with swide swept bangs are always a good go-to, as seen here on Audrina Patridge. The tricky thing with this one is having long enough hair to pull the side bun off. I don't, but the side bun is my fave!


A sleek high bun (or low for that matter) is always a beautiful choice. Pictured in a high, sleek bun is Kim Kardashian and Megan Fox.



And lastly, buns are always fun to dress up! What better way to dress up a bun than to throw a Hale head piece on it? You can wear it a number of ways - around the forehead or like a headband. Not into headpieces? Throw on a statement necklace from Hale to really stand out in the crowd! Try something like the Sarah Necklace or Alexandra Head Piece found at www.shophale.com
