Thanks to the supermodel, it’s a hair trend all in itself and you may have spotted it all over Instagram and TikTok. So if you’ve already tried this viral bun hack, and are looking for something a little edgier—and runway-ready—look no further than Bella’s go-to hairstyle.
What makes this bun so special is that it can make greasy hair look effortlessly chic. So if you find yourself on hair-wash day—but you don’t want to—the Bella bun is your savior. And it’s super simple to achieve, thanks to TikTok.
Just searching ‘Bella Hadid bun’ will give you an endless stream of how-tos but we’ve done the hard work for you and found the easiest ones to follow…
TikTok user @corrine_reed shows us all we need is gel, a comb/brush, and a few hair ties. So first of all you want to part your hair down the middle. Then section out two front pieces and tie the rest of your hair into a ponytail. Then brush through some gel with a comb to get rid of any bumps or flyaways.

Wrap the pony into a bun, secure with another tie, and lastly, take the front pieces that you sectioned out earlier and pull them back, and wrap them around the bun.
You should be creating almost a ‘V’ shape at the front of your hairline. Comb through again with gel to make sure it’s all secure and you’re done!

User @lauren.luckie shows us a similar process but instead shows how the bun looks with spikes around it instead of completely slicked back. Both Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid have been known to sport the spiky look.
