2022 has been the year of revivals. A lot of our current trends are actually just comebacks from previous eras (like practically everything Y2K!), and there’s one trend in particular that we’ve been seeing around more often lately: We’re talking about the spiky bun! And TBH, it's the new cool girl hairstyle you need on your beauty radar.
If this hairstyle seems familiar to you, that’s probably because you grew up seeing it on some of your favorite childhood TV shows. Does Lizzie McGuire ring a bell? Hilary Duff used to rock all kinds of crazy 'dos on the show before they were even considered cool. But among all the hairstyles we’ve seen in the series, the spiky bun might just be the most iconic—celebrities would agree.
Ahead, we show you five different ways the coolest Filipina celebs of today are rocking the Y2K hair trend. For sure, they'll convince you to try it out for yourself!
5 Ways to Wear the Spiky Bun Hair Trend, as Seen on Filipina Celebrities
1. The Classic Spiky Bun
For that effortless, edgy look, try this classic spiky bun seen on AC Bonifacio. Tie your hair up into a tight high bun, making sure to leave the ends out for that spiky effect. To frame your face, let loose a chunk of tendrils on both sides.

2. The Half-Up, Half-Down Spiky Bun
Instead of putting all of your hair up in a bun, try this half-up, half-down look Nadine Lustre is donning. She even used a hairstick to punctuate her look, which used to be all the rage back in the '90s and early 2000s.
3. The Really Spiky, Spiky Bun
To emphasize the spikiness of your spiky bun, you can use some hair gel or wax to shape the strands into larger individual spikes. You can also accent it with silver hairclips as Maureen Wroblewitz did here, for that Y2K cybercore vibe.
4. The Double Spiky Bun
What's better than one spiky bun? Two, of course! Try this adorable double spiky bun as seen on Chie Filomeno. Feel free to add some cute butterfly clips into the mix for a pop of color, too!
5. The Ultra Sleek Spiky Bun
Combine the cool-girl vibe with the clean-girl look, and the result will be this ultra-sleek spiky bun seen on Bea Alonzo. To achieve this, you'll need a brush and some hair gel. Leave out a bigger chunk of the ends of your hair and brush 'em all to one side, then use some hair gel to flatten down any flyaways and have all the spikes going towards one direction.
