There are all sorts of hair trends that we never would have thought of until some genius brought them into our lives. Among other things, mother-of-pearl fashion - this isn't exactly something that occurs in nature (or at least not when it comes to hair). Sometimes a trend has been around for ages, but it only really takes off when Instagram finds a cute name for it. This is also the case with the octopus bun trend, which is actually just another name for a certain type of bun.
Octopus Bun Trend – a hit on Instagram and TikTok
Did you ever think you would wear an octopus bun trend? You probably already do this, maybe even every day. They just never thought of giving it an Instagram-worthy name. This is what it looks like: The strands are pulled up into a bun at the top of the head, with the ends spread across the head like the tentacles of an octopus. So it is the simplest of all bun variants. To ensure the look is a little more on-trend than usual, spread the ends around the bun instead of gathering them in one place.
Are you looking for an extra loan for hipsters? Quickly twirl the ends before putting the hair into the bun so you can see the ends poking out. If you combine the trends and make an octopus bun with pastel colored hair, it can look particularly interesting and chic.

The fashion world is a fan of the octopus bun trend
Although Оctopus Bun is associated with a hectic everyday life and frivolity, the fashion world has also shown interest in this trend. The young Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka has adopted the octopus bun as one of the main hairstyles for her models in her first spring collection 2022.
Loose bun – instructions in 3 steps
And since we have already shown you step by step how to style an octopus bun yourself, today we are giving you instructions for a loose bun.
- Start by turning your head and pulling your hair into a loose ponytail that can be as high or low as you like. Don't use a comb or make sure your strands are perfectly combed back - a few bumps are okay.
- Twist the hair around the base of the ponytail and continue wrapping it below the bun. Make sure to leave the end of the braid open.
- Secure the bun with a hair tie and bobby pins.
Quick tip: However, if your hair is clean and you want to recreate the look, spray your hair with dry shampoo/texturizer spray to give it more texture and grip. To make your bun look even messier, tug on the sections and strands that frame your face. Only change the bun if it really hangs down, otherwise feel free to wear it.

- Comb through the hair with your fingers, then pull it into a high, tight ponytail.
- Spray a fine-tooth comb with hairspray and gently tease the ponytail from root to tip.
- Wrap the twisted ponytail loosely around the headband until all of the hair is wrapped around the band.
- Secure the hair at the front, back and sides with bobby pins.
- If the hair is flying too much, spray it with hairspray and use your fingertips to gently pull it back toward the topknot.
