Topknots have always been the lazy girls go-to hairstyle for when you only have a precious 5 minutes to do your hair in the morning, are beating the heat while sweating it up in the gym - or are in need of a super simple third hair day style. With sizzling summer temps upon us, it is the by far the easiest way to keep hair up to avoid an unwanted sweaty matted-to-your neck look.
But after having been on trend for a few seasons, topknots are getting, well, a little boring. Enter the latest hair accessory everyone is obsessing about - the bun cuff. It had to happen - hair accessories have been seen more and more regularly on the runways - it's a wonder it took so long to reach the topknot. The bun cuff allows you to become insta chic in one very easy step.
The best thing is that it is so versatile. You can use it to pull together a messy knot, to add some stand out glam to your sleek evening look or as a perfect partner for a half-up style. Some girls on Instagram have even started an arm candy trend by wearing the cuffs as bracelets. Our favourite is the thick solid gold cuff which adds instant glam to any look, but it is only our No. 1 by a very slim margin - there are so many pretty styles it's almost impossible to choose.
Here are some tips to elevate cool-girl hair in just a few seconds.
