Spiky bun: the it girl hairstyle

The spiky bun it’s definitely the most glamorous hairstyle of the season.

Back in vogue at the last Met Gala thanks to Gigi Hadidhas slowly made its way into the hearts of fashionistas, who have become fans of this original hairdo.

How to create the spiky bun with expert advice

Sergio Carlucci, Co-Founder of TONI&GUY Italy explains how to create this extra glam hairstyle.

“With a retro 90s flavor, one of the trendiest buns of the season is back: the Spiky Bunn! Shown off by Celebrities and on the latest catwalks, the Spiky Bun will be one of the most requested hairstyles for this new season!”

“The spiky bun is not only cool – continues Carlucci – but it is also easy to recreate at home, here are the steps to follow:

1- Apply a volumizing mousse to bath hair to give structure and volume;
2 – Dry your hair naturally if straight or with the help of a brush if wavy;
3 – Separate the tuft with a lateral or central line according to personal taste;

4 – Create a high ponytail in the center of the head and secure with an elastic band
5 – Twist the hair around itself, secure it with clips, in a very soft way and leave the ends “free” directing them towards the face
6 – As a last step, smooth the ends with the help of a straightener and complete the hair look with some Label.m Fashion Edition Ultimate Hairspray to fix everything and Label.m Fashion Edition Shine Mist to give a glossy touch!

Of course, as always, the only limit is your imagination: you can create one half tail to then create a bun at the top and then leave the locks free only in the lower part, just like Haley Bieber loves to do.
