The Spiky Bun Is Back And It’s the Cutest Updo for Off-Duty Hair

Even better, it’s easy to nail and looks effortlessly chic. TikTok has given us tons of tutorials on how to get it right. We love @alishaakaurr’s simple how-to, which involves center-parting your hair, pulling the front sections loose, and smoothing the rest back into a slick ponytail at the crown. Twist your hair; wrap it into a bun, leaving the ends loose and spiky; then secure them in place at the front of your bun using a hair band. Done.
