Hair Trend: Buns

Everyone's looking forward to fall. Maybe some of us are tired of the heat, tired of bugs, tired of the sun, tired of trying to do the braid styles that were popular this summer. You literally don't have the energy to pull the rest of your hair through the elastic to finish the ponytail. Maybe that's just me.

And the runways, and on tumblr, and outside. It's the style that isn't a style, but suddenly it's cool. Maybe because it's been overlooked.

septum, messy braid, ombre, bun....how on-trend, ay?

a bun AND a braid! and unusual accessories. unusual hair accessories...where was this picture 2 years ago.

It's also unisex. From all the backlash about the "man bun," wearing this style is almost a form of gender activism, breaking down gender norms, showing that a "women's" hairstyle is just a hairstyle. Why have gender breakdowns for a body part (hair) that we all have?

Any of you going to sport the bun? Oh, wait, are you already wearing one? ;)
