Vintage hairstyles have been invading beauty trends for the past few seasons. After the mini braids or the palm tree ponytail of the 80s last year, it's the turn of the twisted bun to make a comeback in 2022. This look, which borrows its codes from the aesthetics of the 1990s- 2000 is reborn on social networks and particularly appeals to Generation Y, nostalgic for this era. The proof: famous millennials are already wearing it on the red carpets, such as Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, or Jung Ho-Yeon (the South Korean actress from the
Squid Game
series
.)
In addition to its regressive 90's spirit, the twisted bun is also attractive for its practicality.
Easy and quick to make, it does not require more than five minutes, and two rubber bands as a material.
Something to delight those in a hurry looking for a simple and glamorous hairstyle, to wear without fuss on New Year's Eve.

The particularity of this bun?
Perched high on the head and impeccably twisted, it stands out for its lengths that protrude to the side.
Ideal for highlighting your face and holiday makeup, it elegantly reveals the head wearing.
The hair should be flat at the roots, without any rebellious strands that appear.
A brushing upstream is perhaps necessary for the most voluminous manes who wish to sport this look in its sophisticated version.
The twisted bun, step by step
Start by brushing your hair, flattering it at the roots (optional, you can draw a perfectly straight part in the middle.) Style your hair in a high ponytail by knotting it with a first elastic.
Twist the lengths before winding them on themselves forming a bun.
Tie it with a second elastic, letting the ends fall to one side of the head.
