![](http://images.girlslife.com/posts/020/20472/bunday521.jpg)
Let’s go back: The bun has always been an underrated hairstyle, until
right now. We remember piling our hair up on those bad hair days, or of uptight
ballerina concoctions (so many bobby pins!) or those moments when we just want
to tie on a scrunchy and have a casual hair day. Today, the bun is trendier
than ever, being the talk of the town and spotted on everyone from fashion
editors to street style stars to even the red carpet. Get ready to rock your
own topknot:
