As we coil and pin our way into the Second Wave of the half-bun, public opinion still remains divided over the style's aesthetic appeal. Is it a do? Is it a don't? Who cares as long as it gets your hair up and away without straining your neck because topknots are so damn heavy? To entertain/make fun of ourselves because we're cool like that, we've compiled five things our heads now resemble thanks to fashion. Is that an acorn? Yes. Yes it is.
1. A Kaiser roll

2. The Beijing National Stadium, AKA The Bird's Nest
Even though this is totally anachronistic, Ai Weiwei *would* be the one to see JLo's vertical half-bun in a dream and be inspired by its texture.
3. A finial
Finial = fancy topper thingy for fancy architecture. Half-bun = fancy topper thingy for your head.
4. The poop emoji
Sorry, Hilary Duff. It had to be done.
5. An acorn
Sorry, Margot Robbie. I saw an opportunity and took it.
6. Li Shang from 'Mulan'
Not sorry at all, Kate Mara. This is a very high compliment, TBQH.
