This is a continuation of the last styles post on “6 Gorgeous and Easy Ways to Wear a Bun on Natural Hair”. Here are four more spins on the classic bun, including a style involving twists:
1. High “Bun”- Like Do

Even if you do not have enough length for a bun, you can pull off this “bun”-like do. Start from a puff on stretched hair. Then secure the loose hair with hair pins into a bun shape. View the above tutorial for an illustration!
2. Elegant Side-Swept Bun
Now this side-swept bun may look complex, but it is actually fairly easy to do. It essentially involves rolling or flat-twisting three sections from the front and three towards the back. Then you form a bun from your hair that is left free.
3. Frizz-Free Donut Bun and Twists
For those who want a super chic spin on the classic bun, check out this tutorial. Start with several medium twists throughout the front section of your hair. Then, using a donut, bun the back of your hair. Lastly, finish off by stylishly pinning the front twists.
4. Chunky Twists into Side Bun
Start from a set of chunky twists and a side part for this simple look. Proceed to flat twist one side and then the other. Finally, gather your hair into a bun, and that’s it! Check out the tutorial for details!
Ladies, would you wear any of these styles?

When I stop being lazy and wash my hair again, I’m going to try #2, then #4 next.
