When the temperatures start to climb and humidity makes your hair feel like four additional layers of clothing, putting your hair up becomes a daily essential. Fortunately, throwing your hair up into a bun every day doesn't have to be boring with these Summer bun hairstyles.
There are plenty of variations of the style and different accents and accessories [1] you can add to the look to ensure you aren't wearing the same thing every day. We've scoured Instagram for the very best hair bun inspiration from space to braided varieties [2].
Check the Summer hair bun ideas out ahead, so your hair won't stick to your sweaty neck all Summer long.
Top Knots and High Buns
When it's just too hot to have your hair on your neck and down your back, twist it up and pile it onto the top of your head in a high bun or top knot. It will keep you cool and looking stylish. You can even pull out a few face-framing pieces or add a few barrettes, a scarf, or a bun cuff to really make it look pulled-together.
Braided Buns
Add a braid (or three) to your buns to keep your hair off your face. You can incorporate a few french or dutch braids from the front of your head going backward, or braid the length of your hair and pin to the nape of your neck.
Low Buns
Smooth out the top of your hair with a boar-bristle brush and gather the length of your hair at the base of your head for a chic low bun. You can use oversized pins, scarves, or small braids to give this look more visual interest.
Multiple Buns
Bored of your usual bun hairstyles? Try incorporating multiple buns into your look to switch things up. Pile two vertically on top of each other and add some large pins, try the Summer-favourite space buns, or go crazy with a Mohawk of buns down the centre of your head.
