Well, when they're that pretty, why not?!
Every club is different. Girls at ours can get away with just looping it for training, if it's not too long, but they encourage buns because that's what they mandate at competitions. As the skills get harder, not having bits flapping around becomes more of a priority for them, as a plait in the face can become painful, so they generally move over to buns by choice anyway.
