Quick Facts

Why Brides Love The Bun With Edges

The bun with edges gives you that polished, regal elegance while keeping your natural beauty front and center. It frames your face beautifully with sleek, defined edges that photograph gorgeously from every angle, making you feel confident and camera-ready all day long. This timeless style whispers sophistication without trying too hard—it's the perfect balance of classic and personal.

Beyond the stunning aesthetic, this hairstyle is incredibly practical for your big day. The secure bun stays put through hours of dancing, hugging, and happy tears, while the styled edges won't budge in wind or humidity. It works seamlessly with any veil style and gives your neck and shoulders a graceful, elongated look that's perfect for showing off statement earrings or a delicate necklace.

Prep & Longevity Tips

How To Create A Bun With Edges

  1. Prep the Hair

    Prep hair with smoothing cream on damp hair, then apply edge control gel along hairline and temples.

  2. Smooth and Tie Back

    Brush hair back into a high or low ponytail depending on your preference, securing tightly with elastic band.

  3. Style the Edges

    Use edge brush and gel to sculpt edges into your desired pattern, then tie with silk scarf to set.

  4. Create the Bun

    Twist or wrap ponytail into a classic bun shape, securing with bobby pins in crisscross pattern for stability.

  5. Set and Reveal

    Remove scarf, mist with strong-hold hairspray, add accessories, and gently smooth any flyaways for a flawless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this style work for my thin or fine hair?

Absolutely! Use a hair donut or padding inside the bun to create fuller volume, and texturizing spray before styling adds grip and body that makes even fine hair look lush and romantic.

How do I keep my edges sleek in humidity or rain?

Layer edge control gel with a humidity-resistant hairspray and do a final set with a silk scarf right before your ceremony. This combination creates a moisture barrier that lasts through any weather.

Can I wear this style if I have naturally curly or coily hair?

Yes, this style is gorgeous on curly and coily textures! You can either straighten the edges for a sleek look or embrace your natural texture with defined, gel-styled edges and a textured bun.

Where should I position the bun—high, mid, or low?

It depends on your face shape and veil: high buns elongate round faces and work with drop veils, while low buns suit heart-shaped faces and sit beautifully beneath cathedral veils.
