Classical
An elegant bun implies smoothly combed hair, the bulk of which is taken into a tourniquet at the crown or back of the head. You can also make a low bun of this type. You should not add any accessories or weaves to it, since the concept provides for the maximum severity and conciseness of its appearance.
Usually this option is used in an office style, where ladies follow a certain dress code, and it is also popular among girls who go in for sports or dancing. This is due to the convenience that this hairstyle provides.

Careless
A similar version of the beam can be whipped up, since it does not require a perfectly smooth head and a complete absence of knock-out strands. The hair is not pulled tight and is fixed at the crown. The lightly twisted tourniquet is wrapped around the base and fixed. Often, the hair is collected in a tourniquet without prior fixation at the crown. This hairstyle allows for a small proportion of hairs that stand out from the total mass, but at the same time it should not look sloppy.

Volume
Such a lush option involves the preliminary preparation of the hair - the creation of curls. The twisted strands must be collected in a tail, without pulling them out to the end through the elastic band. The hair is then wrapped around the base and fixed. This technique will help in creating additional volume.

French
The simple and elegant French bun is based on a completely different technology. It is created on the basis of a low, not very tightly tied tail, the curls of which are wrapped around special fixing sticks, while their entire mass is collected in the center of the back of the head, forming a beautiful semblance of a shell.

With braids
A safe bet for thick, medium-length hair is to create a bun for one or more braids. You can start to weave a French braid from the temple or from the front of your head. Then, at the top of the head or just below, the strands of the braids are collected and fixed in a ponytail along with the rest of the head of hair and wrapped around the base.
Another way to add braids to a hairstyle like this is to create a ponytail from which one or more braids are woven. These pigtails are wrapped around the base, giving the bundle a certain relief and original shape.
At the same time, the chances that naughty strands will be knocked out of the total mass are reduced.

With a bagel
If you like a retro style, then a fluffy bun made with a donut, an accessory designed to add extra volume to collected hair, is ideal for this.The bagel is worn on curls neatly gathered in a high ponytail. Then the strands are evenly distributed over the donut and fixed under its base, forming a large bundle that attracts the eye. Sometimes this option is combined with straight bangs and a bright hair band.

With fleece
Another retro option is hair tied up at the back of the head with extra volume at the crown. This volume is done with the help of a fleece, which can be done in the usual way or using a special lining. Usually, a similar hairstyle also contains various bright accessories.

Greek
A similar bundle is created on the basis of a French braid using a very simple technology. The lower part of the braid simply rises to the back of the head, a textured bundle is formed from it and is fixed with hairpins and invisible pins. Another version of the bundle with a reference to the Greek theme will be a tourniquet made of two thinner bundles twisted together.
On medium hair, the hairstyle looks harmonious, and due to this twisting, the mass of the hair visually increases.

Air
This type of bun is ideal for a wedding. It involves weaving braids of various thicknesses. Pigtails are braided at the back of the head, crown and at the base of the hairline. The bulk, previously wound into curls, is collected at the crown, and then braids are located around it. The design of such a hairstyle is discussed in advance with the hairdresser, since it includes a huge number of options.

How to choose?
In order for the bundle to look as harmonious and effective as possible on medium-length strands, a number of criteria should be taken into account that will help you choose the specific variety that suits you the most. To make a good choice, you need to take into account such basic factors as the thickness of the curls, age and type of face.

By hair type
Each lady's curls have an individual texture, which affects the appearance of the hairstyle. Even if the hair is tied up in a bun, this relationship is noticeable. For each type of hair, there is a special version of the bun that can hide flaws and emphasize the dignity of the hair.
- Straight thick hair perfect for classic and French versions. Obedient strands will keep their shape perfectly, which is an important element of the concepts of these hairstyles.
- Lush waves they will look most natural in a careless bundle or volumetric version. They can also be divided horizontally from temple to temple into two parts: gather the upper in a bun at the back of the head, and leave the lower loose.
- For ladies with thin or split hair a bun created with a donut will do. You will be able to hide the hard ends under the accessory, leaving less damaged areas exposed. A bagel, matched to the color of the hair, will hide the lack of its total mass.

By face type
Since such a hairstyle in most cases leaves the line of the cheekbones and the face itself open, its choice requires taking into account such characteristics as the oval of the face. Best of all, a high hairstyle suits ladies with an oval face. It is better for owners of a triangular shape to hide sharp corners with bangs.
It is better for chubby young ladies or girls with a square face to refrain from creating a beam or use accessories in order for it to look the most harmonious. This can be accomplished by matching earrings to balance the heavy areas of the face.

According to the age
The age criterion also plays an important role, since the hairstyle should ideally complement the image of a young girl or an adult lady, and also look appropriate. Therefore, for each age category, there are different types of beams.
- To the young lady hairstyles are perfect in which the bun is made only from the upper part of the hair, while the lower part remains loose.A sloppy bun is also relevant, perfectly combined with a casual style.
- Older girls a delicate and elegant French shell bun will do. The bundle made on the side at the bottom of the head looks no less stylish and at the same time original. The volumetric version of the beam will be very appropriate for an informal image.
- For respectable ladies you will love the classic bun and the French shell, which will open the line of the face and will be harmoniously combined with any outfit.
Despite the rough recommendations for each age range, women with medium hair lengths may choose other hairstyles with hair pulled into a tourniquet.
In addition to age, other selection criteria will be individual preference and fashion.

This option is especially relevant if you prefer a bun not on the top of the head, but on the back of the head. Next, you must follow the following algorithm step by step.
- Comb your hair thoroughly and collect it in a ponytail at the back of your head or crown. The elastic should be tight and hold the hair well.
- Braid your curls into a regular braid if desired. You can also make two bundles by twisting them together and fixing them with a small elastic band.

- Wrap the tourniquet around the base of the tail and secure with hairpins. To prevent the tip of the tail from knocking out, you can additionally secure it with invisibility.
- Spray hair with long-lasting hairspray.
- Add the necessary accessories as desired.
