In a world where it seems like every day is a bad hair day, the fashion savior of summer 2025 is the updo. No, we're not talking about the messy bun you wear while cleaning your apartment, but a sophisticated, sleek updo that screams (well, elegantly whispers): "I've got my life under control!"
This year, hairstyles didn't opt for drama. On the contrary – they reign supreme. minimalism and sophistication. A fig therefore became it a hairstyle loved by fashionistas, celebrities, and anyone with five minutes of time and a working hair tie.
Why is a combed-over fig like the new “little black dress”?
Because you can wear it anywhere. To the office, on a date, to the beach, to a wedding (yours or someone else's), or simply to the store - in style. It's like that wardrobe staple that you can combine with everything and never disappoints.
And the best part? You don't need a hairdresser with a masterclass certificate. You can make a smooth bun yourself. do it yourself, in the comfort of your own bathroom, with equipment you almost certainly already have. Even if you woke up like a lion this morning, this hairstyle will help you look like a queen.
Why does everyone love her?
- Versatility: Daytime minimalism or evening glamour – just change the earrings.
- Hygiene and cooling: Hair away from the face + open neck = ideal for summer temperatures.
- The effect of lifting without Botox: With a combed bun, your face suddenly looks more defined. And that's without a filter.
How do you conjure up this masterpiece?
What you need:
- A wide-toothed comb (to tame the resistance)
- A hair straightening brush (you can even use the old one you have from high school)
- Gel, wax or mousse (depending on the temperament of your hair)
- A hair tie (not the kind from the drugstore that discounts on the third turn)
- Paperclips (to solidify your creative ambitions)
- Hairspray (if you really want it to last or if you're going to a windy coast)
Process:
1. Comb and define the parting
Hair should be clean or, even better, a day or two old – because “slightly dirty” hair is more manageable. Parted in the middle for a classic look, parted on the side for those who prefer a “French touch”.
2. Use gel or wax
Don't overdo it - we don't want a retro wet look from the early 2000s. Apply mainly around the face, where the hair tends to "jump around".
3. Gather your hair into a ponytail
Low for elegance, high for playfulness. The ponytail should be as smooth as an espresso from an Italian bar.
4. Wrap the bun
Twist the tail into a spiral and wrap it around a rubber band. Secure with bobby pins and pray it lasts until the evening (or at least until lunch).
5. Varnish (optional)
Spray on for extra durability and shine. Nail polish is like a finishing touch – you can’t do without it, but the world won’t stop if you don’t have it.
Bonus tips for an extra chic look
- Use something hair oils, if you want the radiant effect that fashion editors (and Instagram algorithms) love.
- Pre-straighten curly hair for a more defined result (or leave it loose if you're aiming for a boho chic look).
- Experiment with position: low figure = Audrey Hepburn, tall fig = Hailey Bieber on the red carpet.
Final thought: When the least is the most
The combed fig is not only hairstyle, is a statement. It's the answer to "what should I do with my hair to look neat without spending an hour in front of the mirror?" In the summer of 2025, we say: less curling irons, more wax. And above all - more confidence. Because if there's one thing that holds true this year, it's that the most fashionable hairstyle always includes feeling good in your own skin (and under your bun).
