Instagram influencer Caitlin Eliza has shown her fans how to create a fabulous, effortless bun without the expense of a visit to the hairdresser – and people are loving it
Many women love to have beautiful hairstyles but often find it difficult to do updos at home. For everyday looks, a simple ponytail or messy bun is usually easy to do, but when it comes to occasions that require a bit of glamour, many head to the hairdresser to get a fancy updo done, which can be costly.
Instagram influencer Caitlin Eliza, known to her followers as @caitlinelizax, is changing the game by showing her fans how to create amazing hairstyles without having to go to the hairdresser. The American blonde bombshell, who is adored by 73,000 followers for her style, beauty and lifestyle tips, has gone viral with one particular hair tutorial.
Her “effortless bun” video received over 45,000 likes due to its simplicity and elegance.
Caitlin wowed her audience even before they saw the clip by titling it “Best Updo Ever.”

In the video, Caitlin started with her long, wavy locks before giving instructions: “By now we all know that you can leave out a lot of the front pieces, tie the rest of the hair into a high ponytail and finish with a tiny bun.”
She continued with the steps: “Part the hair at the bottom into two halves, pull it forward, secure it with an elastic band, twist this section, pull it over the bun and pin it underneath.”
To finish the tutorial, she advised, “Secure the excess front pieces with a bobby pin to create this beautiful and effortless bun,” showcasing the final elevated look.
The reaction from viewers was overwhelmingly positive, with comments ranging from “so cute” to eager declarations like “I’m definitely going to try this.”
Meanwhile, several users have expressed their delight with the results after trying it out. One enthusiast said: “OMG I JUST TRIED IT AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD. Much easier than I thought! Thanks!” Another commented: “I did it and it looked so good thank you! This video was on the whole time lol.”
A third person expressed their gratitude, saying: “A life saver, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.”
However, the reviews were not unanimous in their praise. One follower criticized: “Effortless? No. Beautiful? Yes.” Another agreed: “Effortless – EFFORTLESS? Once I get it over with, the effort is limitless.”
Additional comments came from someone who said they “didn’t have enough hair” to recreate the look, while another user humorously noted, “My levels said nice try.”
