Welcome to theYear in Beauty.

A bun for all an everybun, if you will.

If every year has its own emblematic ritual union, Richies took the (wedding) cake for 2023.

2023 Was the Year of the Everybun

The everybun reaches, magnanimously, across occasions.

The median occasion for an everybun is, probably, a Zoom meeting with a client or vendor.

Hailey Bieber’s take on the everybun is as slick as a glazed donut.

The everybun is a style that is almost as old as hair itself.

As ballerinas know better than anyone, the everybun is not necessarily comfortable to wear.

(Copeland used the phrase pretty awful.)

Its tense by design.

Not everyone likes having their hair back like that, says Marissa Marino, a hairstylist and bun master.

Misty Copeland takes the everybun off-stage.

Its the opposite of what everyone’s done with messy, beachy waves, she says.

Its a polished look instead of an effortless one.

(Though people can spend hours on effortless beachy waves.)

The everybun can almost disappear from view.

Mark these words: Keep the hot rollers close at hand.
