About Bun
A high bun lifts the silhouette of the head, so it makes a round face look longer and the neck slimmer. On heart-shaped and diamond faces, it shows the features as they are. On a very long face, placing the bun a little lower, toward the nape rather than on the crown, keeps things balanced.
For a sleek bun, brush the hair back smoothly, secure it with an elastic and wrap it around. For a messy bun, leave the sections loose and let a few strands fall around the face. The thicker the hair, the fuller the bun. On fine hair, a bun donut or some backcombing adds volume.
Can I wear a bun with short hair?
A full bun is hard with very short hair. Hair close to shoulder length can make a small bun. When you try it in Mane, the AI can fill in the length, so keep your real length in mind.
Does a bun suit a round face?
A high bun on top of the head usually works well, because it stretches a round face vertically. Leaving a few fine strands at the sides softens the effect.
How many credits does it take to try Bun in Mane?
Each CONFIRM costs 1 credit and creates one image. Picking options and browsing uses no credits; a credit is only used when you press CONFIRM, and it’s refunded automatically if the generation fails. You can combine a hairstyle, color and beard in the same CONFIRM. During the beta, credits are bought in the app and the same balance works on the web.
