Georgina told us: “Buns effectively keep hair out of the face and neck and you can dress them up or down.
They can be ideal for wedding looks or when you attend events as they are practical and functional. You can move around and the hair will still look perfectly in place.
She added: You can equally also exercise, work, cooking, or any situation where loose hair could appear disruptive but elegant.”
