Although I’m a beauty editor, I have to confess, I am a complete novice when it comes to hair styling. While I love to write about the latest hair trends and trending hair colours, my repertoire for creating looks on myself is pretty limited. I usually work from a rotation of three styles: a 90s-style blow dry (using my favourite Amika hot brush), soft waves and, finally, a centre-parted bun. Then, once I’ve completed the trifecta, I know wash day has arrived and I begin the circuit all over again.
Because of this, however, I’ve honed my skills at perfecting the centre-parted bun over the years and now, not to brag, but I’d say I’ve got it down to an art form. So much so that I don’t only wear it day to day but it’s my go to hair style for big events and nights out, too. You see, not only does the centre-parted bun take minimal effort (even if you’re new to the style, I promise you, it’s so easy to do, especially with the right slicked-back bun products) but it also gives an incredibly polished look that makes any outfit look chic and put together. When you take into account both of these things, I’m sure it makes sense as to why I’ve stuck with the signature style for so long.
