The macaron hair bun will take you 2 minutes, tops.
If space buns are for days when you’re feeling a little edgier, then macaron buns complete softer looks.
We love it when mega hair trends evolve into equally amazing variations (read about the bob, lob and mob here). This is especially when such hair trends don’t cost a cent, and require little time and even less skill!
Introducing: Macaron Buns
They’re basically space buns that sit low, closer to the nape of the neck. We love their versatility – wear it with textured or pre-curled hair or sleeked back hair for a chic edge.
Note how it’s cute and pretty at the same time.
3-step Macaron Buns:
- Part your hair down the middle like you would for pigtails.
- Twist each side into a macaron (or cinnamon bun shape) and coil your hair around itself until you reach the end.
- Pin the buns down and slay!
You can even be really messy with this style – it’s pretty full-proof. Achieve these messy buns by loosely coiling your hair and using a hair tie to secure them. Pull out loose strands for the I-woke-up-like-this look.
Get Creative
Play around with the basic look by starting with a braid to show off your highlights: rope or 3-strand, or fishtail – anything works here!
There are no rules – try a loose triple macaron bun for an ethereal look at a dinner event.
Plus, Plus Points
As if we don’t love this style enough, you can also wear this style semi-dry for hours or overnight and end up with no-heat curls!
