10 Cute Half-Buns to Wear During Finals Week

Finals week makes us feel so busy that even finding time for the fun end-of-semester events on campus is stressful. So, looking cute while studying and trying to de-stress gets put on the back-burner. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Instead of waking up like that during finals, try the half-bun. It’s so easy, but also v chic. Here’s some inspiration:

1. Wear it with long, wavy hair


Ariana Grande looks amazing and relaxed in this trendy hair style.

2. Or, with super straight hair


You can count on Gwen to make any style look edgy.

3. Wear your half-bun a little lower


Wearing it this way makes the style look a little more casual.

4. Tease the hair for something a little more glam


Wearing it this way is a great way to dress up the look!

5. Do a single loop for an extra easy look


Perfect for lazy days.

6. Let it take center stage

Make a statement without making an effort!

7. Do it up with braids


Look at that volume—SO good.

8. Rock it with pastels


Equal parts feminine and edgy.

9. Get creative!


Got a little time and lots of bobby pins? This style will make it look like you tried—no shower required.

10. Take advantage of your ombré


Your dual-toned hair looks even cooler in a half-bun!
