Cutest Japanese Bun Hairstyles
Japanese hair bun – you can’t help loving our lists. Check them to get your bun hairstyle exclusive.
1. Half-Bun with Braids
Let’s start off with something more approachable, yet very fun and simple to make.
Ideal for: Round and square-shaped faces.
How to style: Make a braid on each side of your head, leaving out the bangs. Include the ends of the braids into the half-bun in Japanese style on the back of your head. For some extra texture, you can curl the bangs gently.
2. Small Space Bun and Waves
This Japanese bun hairstyle is a great example of how to enhance any outfit and make the whole look modern, urban and chic.
Ideal for: Round-shaped faces.
How to style: Curl your hair into gentle waves. Make two simple and relaxed high buns. If you have bangs, you can rock a hair accessory such as a headband.
3. Teased Bun
The Lob is a great hairstyle for anyone. Yet, it is quite plain. Try giving it a twist with these teased hair buns!
Ideal for: All face shapes.
How to style: Style this similarly to the previous one. Korean women with shorter hair (also some Japanese women) leave it straight. You can spend the extra time teasing the strands of hair that you would then twist into buns so that they look a little bit extra voluminous.
