Humor: What your top bun reveals about you
Your hair is full of secrets about your personality
Top buns. Love them, hate them, whatever you feel they are here to stay. Yet not every top knot is the same. Some of those buns can reveal a lot about the owner, if you know what you're looking for.
The acorn
You want what you can’t have. In this case, a top bun. But you, like always, are reaching for a goal beyond your skill level, getting frustrated when the results you imagined don’t materialize.
Luckily, you are optimistic. While trying something new, you say to yourself, “I can make this work.” Keep that can-do spirit; it will help you throughout your days as you wait for your workplace skills and hair to grow.
The prim schoolmarm
Controlling? You? Yes. Your tight top bun is so painful that it pulls up your eyebrows and almost brings tears to your eyes. Yet you don’t want to waste time keeping a loose bun from falling, so you’ve gone to the other end of the spectrum and created an impenetrable ball of hair.
In your everyday life, this manifests as someone who likes to make lists, download productivity apps, and avoid activities that make them feel dumber. There is no shame in this bun or the person, but learn to occasionally let loose so you don’t hurt others with your rigidity.
The leaning towner
You are the one whose bun forever tilts to one side or the other. Nevertheless, you keep trying, fixing the hair when it gets to the point where you feel ridiculous. That’s you in a nutshell. When you don’t succeed at first, you try again. Yet a shroud of melancholy consumes you. You never learn the lesson of not tying a knot right there. You assume you have bad luck and others are born with the skill.
Try to avoid this mindset and make minor improvements to your habits. Whether that means getting up 10 minutes earlier each day or inserting bobby pins where you have not before, doing new things will make you feel better in the long run.
The unicorn
Somehow, you’ve managed to make a very long, narrow bun. It’s undoubtedly very eye-catching, but it isn’t what you meant to do. Because you took the quick route, twisted it up, and called it a day. That’s so you. But heed my words: your penchant for shortcuts does not garner the results you desire.
You will only achieve your dreams by doing the slow, sometimes painfully dull, task of learning. Like top bun construction or art, Rome (and the process for a perfect top bun) wasn’t built in a day!
The bird's nest
You’re a worrier, and your top bun shows it. Throughout the day, you keep poking at and messing with the bun until it resembles a very messy lark’s nest. During your non-bun activities, your mind drifts to the past, replaying old hurts and humiliations, letting your anger take hold. Let it go. Seriously, let go of that strand of hair you’re tugging at right now!
But also let go of your habit of looking backward. The road to perfect buns and your beautiful future lies ahead, not behind you. Tomorrow is always another day to do better. Now, let’s undo that bun for today.
The pancake
The pancake bun signals to the world that its wearer is not someone to mess with. You’ll flatten your enemies like you flatten your hair and not care. You recognize that your hair will eventually become a ponytail, so you continue as if it’s what you meant to happen.
Confident and outspoken, you laugh at life’s little mistakes, like hair follies. Even if you never achieve the perfect top bun, know that others are jealous of your ability to go with the flow and never stop hustling.
The magic act
Shy and accommodating, your hair hides from the world as you do. Instead of telling the world of your accomplishments, you prefer to promote your friends and those you admire. This shyness is not a bad thing on its own, but it can damage your chances of success in the long run.
Find the courage to bring attention to yourself and your hair because you deserve it as much as those you love.
The perfect top knot
You’re a social media influencer who makes $100,000 a year in a passive income through your online courses, teaching others to create photogenic top buns. Go you! I don’t know your personality, but you don’t need one. When you have a perfect top bun, that’s all that matters.
