Something Tells Us You’ll Love The Most Popular Hair Trend On Pinterest Right Now

Doing your hair can be exhausting, especially toward the end of summer. It’s humid and sticky outside, meaning that your hair immediately reacts to that the moment you step outside — and for most people, that means frizz and curls. It’s also so hot that you don’t even want to think about standing under a blow dryer, even for just a few minutes. In the summer (or really, any time), you want a go-to style that is easy, fast, and will keep you cool. Because of that, we think you’re going to love the most popular hair trend on Pinterest right now: the lazy girl bun.

You might think of “hairstyles on Pinterest” and imagine all sorts of complicated updos, time-consuming braids, and Victoria’s Secret-esque waves, but actually, right now, users are all about the casual chicness of a messy bun. According to Pinterest’s 2018 Beauty Report, “no-bump lazy-girl buns” are up 2,198 percent in saves compared to 2017. A “no-bump lazy-girl bun” basically means a messy bun that looks good and also won’t leave a crease in their hair. Sounds good to us!

So how can you achieve that? There are a few ways to get a bun that won’t leave a crease in your hair. One is to use the right elastic. Something like the Invisibobble, which looks like an old-school telephone cord, holds your hair without leaving a kink – and it’s inexpensive. Another tip is to forgo a hair tie completely and simply clip up your bun with bobby pins. This will hold unless you have very fine hair or plan on jumping up and down a lot.

As for the messy bun itself? Below are some photos for inspiration.

You can pull out a few strands to make your look a little more tousled.

Leave your bun loose instead of cinching it tight.

Don’t worry about frizz, as it can actually work in your favor when it comes to this style.

Keep the bun low, at the nape of your neck, and loose.

Work with dirtier hair, as it will hold better and look less sleek.

Use your curls to your advantage, as they give more texture.
