Camila Alves showcased a new twist to a low bun hairstyle at the 2014 Critics’ Choice Awards and we love it! DIY: Rub a pea-sized amount of straightening cream in between your palms before gliding it all over your hair. Blow dry hair as usual. After your hair has cooled down, pull back hair into a low ponytail and tie with clear elastic. Twist the end of the ‘tail and flip it over the base. Secure the knot with pins and let the rest hang loose.

Bored of the usual side bun hairstyle? Add plaits! Jessica Chastain’s ultra elegant side bun coif is given a sweet twist by braiding hair from one side all the way to the opposite side before creating the low knot. For extra glam appeal, use a crystal encrusted pin instead of plain ol’ bobby pins.

Looking for an updo that will add length to your face? Look no further than the pompadour! The sides should be sleek to avoid the appearance of width while the top should be teased and molded into a polished pouf. Fine, flat strands will benefit from using texturizing agents such as Redken’s Curvaceous Wave Ahead to create this style.

We’ve come up with a plan for our Emilia Clarke obsession. If we can’t be BFF’s with her or her low side bun hairstyle with a heavy side part, we’ll just play copycat! Who’s with us on this one?
Here’s how: Blow dry your mane, giving it a good body as you go for better grip. Create a deep side part before swirling thin section of the lower half of your mane around a clampless curling iron for 5 seconds. Gather your hair to one side then create a very loose low ponytail. Twist the end of the ‘tail into a bun and hold with pins. Spread the sides to loosen the style further. Mist the coif with hairspray with light hold.

Sandra Bullock is one messy chic! Her shiny black hair was loosely knotted leaving stray hairs at the sides. Apply mousse to pump up the front of your hair before creating ultra soft curls. Backcombing is optional, but if you opt for this one, do so with care. You can add some glitz at the knot via ornate comb or clips.

A loose chignon with soft, long tendrils on the side just like Lucy Watson’s is very avant-garde and versatile. You can use it in almost all types of occasions and is appropriate for all face shapes. If your fine strands won’t cooperate to the desired messy effect, apply a texturizing spray or use a day-old hair for better composition and hold.

A simple bun hairstyle can be prettified with a long tendril to one side. This is an easy peasy type of coif and can be done in five minutes or less…guaranteed! First, do a side part then separate a section (about three inches will do) of your hair in front. Gather the rest of your hair into a low or high ponytail and tie with elastic. Twist the ends of the pony into a tight bun and hold using bobby pins or a spiral pin. Twist the section of your hair all around a hot curling wand, count to five (with the 1,000, please) then release. Done!

This style is simple enough to do during an early morning rush to the office or to do some errands but the outcome is still mighty fine! Fine, curly, wavy, coarse – any texture will work great for Bianca Balti’s unkempt knot with voluminous top. To lift the crown, give it a little gentle backcombing and some volumizing mousse. Loosely gather your hair into a bun allowing baby strays to flow freely at the sides.

Glee star Melissa Benoist showcases a super loose side bun hairstyle. The casual ‘do features rogue hairs that’s tucked behind her right ear and a side-swept fringe. The best hair length for this look is medium. This will allow the loose ends to fall out of the bun in a relaxed manner without looking overly disproportionate the way long strands does. Tease the crown a little to add just a tad bit of drama to the style.
