Busy with the rush of back to school preparations or just too busy to schedule your new haircut style for fall? Quick change hairstyles are essential for every busy gal. And today’s new hair sculpting techniques have even more inventive monikers to go with them; i.e. Banana Buns and Octopus Buns!

Banana Buns, the new messy chignon that shaped like a banana, and Octopus Buns, the new messy top knot with dangling tentacles, are the latest out-the-door-fast hairstyles. And both can be created with the same products! So, all you have to do is pick your “bun du jour” and follow a few simple steps to create it. And the good news…neatness doesn’t count! In fact, its encouraged!

First, assemble your tools! Grab your hair freshening spray, pliable molding groom, u-shaped hair pins and a hairband and you are good to go. Try P2 by Philip Pelusi RefresHair. This is a lightweight combination hair refreshing and texturizing spray that leaves hair with the fresh scent of White Tea and Thyme. Meanwhile other key ingredients, like Sunflower Extract, give the hair lots of shine plus this spray gives hair a light textured feel. Mist this all over the hair and lightly scrunch the hair for a minute or two until it dries.

Next, get a bit of styling groom on your fingertips and twist and sculpt your hair. Try P2 Honey. Its Honey humectants hydrate the hair plus provides a never crispy pliable grip to the hair allowing for much easier, and faster, styling.

For a Banana Bun, follow the above steps, then groom the hair into what would first appear to be a traditional, low at the nape, chignon which has a banana-like shape. The difference here is to keep the look purposefully messy, letting pieces fall out and decisively not tucking in loose ends. Pin into place.

For an Octopus Bun, follow the same hair freshening, styling groom and twisting technique but instead aim high on the top of the head like a top knot and secure with a hairband. Twist the hair around the base of the band and as same as the Banana Bun purposefully let the ends stick out. These are the tentacles of the Octopus! Pin the bun into place.

And last, mist both looks all over with the P2 RefresHair to help the looks last all day. This multitask spray not only smells fabulous but also gives hair a light hold, lots of shine plus helps with color protection.
