Welcome to new R18 series, Beauty Nostradamus! Here, resident beauty Miss Cleo, Julia Casella, predicts on-the-cusp trends about which you’re on a need-to-know. Up first is…

What: The half bun. 

Where/Who: On the heads of downtown fashionista types (former devotees of the top knot), elementary schools and Nasty Gal models.

Why: Dirty hair, don’t care…but still kinda care because if you didn’t, it would be a full bun. 

How: Freestyle it or use an easy tool like this one from Sarah Potempa/the sock-bun method works. 

We want to hear from you: Share your thoughts on the half-bun in the comments!
