Easy Everyday Hair Styles for the Dog Days of Summer, Day 4: Friday Fun Buns

  • Day 1: The Woven Wonder
  • Day 2: Textured, Tousled Waves
  • Day 3: Wash-and-Wear Wow

OK, I’m sweating behind my knees and between my toes right now… I woke up this morning to second-day air-dried bed-head hair and scorching heat (today’s been in the ’90s, and we don’t have air conditioning), which left me with the following choices for living my best hair life on a blisteringly hot day like today: 1) throw it into a high pony (boring), 2) squirrel it underneath a hat (which is great for sun protection, but man…hats make me sweat so much.), or 3) fun bun it up.

Wanna guess which option I went with?

I feel like buns had a mega moment a few years back with the whole sock bun trend, but I’m still here for them in a major way. It’s an easy hairstyle for a summer Friday because you can look as sleek and done or as messy and undone as ya please! Do a single bun, or double the fun with two. Keep it simple, or jooj it up with dainty Dutch braids (like I do here). They’re surprisingly versatile.

Today’s fun buns is/are the last of the heat-less summer hair styles I had planned for this week, and they build on day 3’s wash-and-wear ‘do.

Once again, I Oribe’d it up…

oribe mystify

is an old fave of mine (I like keeping a backup on hand), but is new to me. You spray it on second-day (or third- or fourth-day hair, for that matter), and it reactivates whatever styling product you have in your hair from the day before. It also has UV and heat protectors to guard your hair if you decide to use hot tools.

Let’s get ready to put the fun in ‘ze bun…

1. Fix flatness with dry shampoo

Spray a dry shampoo or texturizing spray through your hair, concentrating at the roots, to lift your second-day style.

If your strands hold buns better when they have some grit in them, then also spray your hair lightly on the mid-shaft and ends.

2. Mist with a reactivating spray, then split into two sections

Revive the styling products that are in your hair from the day before by misting an activating spray like Mystify from mid-shaft to the ends, and then separate your hair into two sections, right down the middle.

3. Braid, then bun

Working with one section at a time, weave a small Dutch or French braid into your bangs and crown, and then gather your hair into a high pony.

Twist into a bun, and secure it with hair pins. Make it as neat or as messy as you’d like!

    Those are cute! I could never do a French braid. Luckily, one of Dear Daughter’s high school friends showed her how to do them and she’s been doing them on herself ever since.
    Went to SF to escape some of this heat, shop and see a movie yesterday. I wore a hat on my run yesterday morning and there was sweat rolling down my face like I was crying. Ugh.
    The forecast is for cooler weather Tuesday thru Thursday and I cannot wait. Well I cannot wait for autumn, I’m over summer.

    You are so cute!

    I’ve been doing the same thing with my hair. It’s been abnormally hot in Maine this summer and we don’t have any air conditioning either.
    I don’t braid the front part though. I just divide the hair in two chunks and then I do high or low buns depending on how much I want to resemble Princess Leia.

    With this heat, I’ve been washing my hair daily, which has to stop. It’s getting really dry. I’ve been going to sleep with dry shampoo in my hair to soak up some of the oil and dirt–gross I know–but it leads to a fantastic hair day following.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my almost-three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
