Forget The Top Knot: These Double Bun Hairstyles Prove ‘Two Is (GOOOOD) Company’

There comes a time in every girl’s life when all hairdos seem to be leading unto one stinking hair rut. The sameness is stuffy and boring and doesn’t dress your tresses to impress, anymore. In fact, even the styles that had maximum appeal and went straight into your ‘timeless’ books seem to be losing their edge. After all, there’s only a certain ‘top’ you can take the top knot to before you start to plateau, eh? So, what’s a girl to do when there seem to be no fresh hairstyles to be tressed to impress? Split her favorite hairdo into two and take to the double bun hairstyles.

That’s right. Your favorite 90s hairstyle is back and this time, the double bun hairstyles are a lot more than simple buns sitting atop your head. From tightly braided buns to gravity-defying shapes and cool hair accessorization options to adding a bit of bling, double bun hairstyles are back with a bang- and have options galore to keep your tresses happy (and far from bored) for a long, long while.
