To bun or not to bun… THAT is the question on my mind these days. Celebs and fellow fashion bloggers have been seen sporting the top knot trend a lot lately. Ballerinas everywhere!
These ladies look effortlessly chic, but I can’t help but wonder: is wearing your hair on the tippy top of your head a hairstyle the average gal should try? Can I pull it off or will I look like an 8-year-old girl headed to ballet class?
Welp, I went on a mission to find out (always here to serve you, my lovely ladies!). What do you think?
(The kitten is still undecided on the ballerina bun…)
I’m a big fan of any hairdo that relies on dirty hair and I was pleased to find that the ballerina bun fits in that category perfectly. Plus, it was easy to create (high ponytail + bun + hairspray!). I added a headband to pull it together and hide my fly aways :) That said, it’s def a departure from my normal low ponytail ‘do.
So I want to know what you guys think?

I love the top knots lately. I wear them a lot. And usually try to make the bun look REALLY full by doing the sock bun. Or sometimes I’ll throw an inverted French braid starting at the base of my neck and going up the back of my head until I have it as high as I want the bun to be. (I get a lot of compliments about the braid in the back – I saw it done on a runway back in the early summer). It’s great for dirty hair :)
Wow, I love the french braid idea! Thanks for sharing!
Love the look but love your kitty more! She is too cute.
Thank you!
I so wish I had the patience to grow out my hair. I always resolve to do it but never seem to make it through the awkward in between phase. oh well!!
Love the look on you!
