Today we’ll show you how to get the look at home, so you can keep your updo game strong. Read on to find out more about this sophisticated and timeless low bun updo tutorial.
1. Get Ready for a Classic Look with a Low Bun
The low bun can easily be one of the timeless go-to looks for many women. It is always the perfect complement to any dress you wear or any occasion you go to. Here are some suggestions for getting the low bun look:
- Start with dry hair. To ensure you create the best look for the hair and avoid a heavy, wet look, make sure your hair is dry before you start styling.
- Tame flyaways. A great trick to maintain the sleekness of the bun is to use a dollop of aloe vera or serum onto your hands and smooth out any flyaway hairs.
Once these two steps are completed, there are a few more preparations for the big event:
- Gather the hair. Secure the hair in a ponytail at the nape of your neck.
- Twist and wrap. Make sure to twist the hair into a chunk while wrapping it around the ponytail holder and pinning it in place with bobby pins.
- Set with hairspray. Spray some hairspray to prevent any flyaways and to give the style a lasting hold that will last all day.
The low bun is a perfect choice to keep your hair out of the way while still looking chic and put together. Finally, accessorize the look with statement earrings or a headband to finish off your classic style.
2. Create a Sophisticated and Timeless Updo
Updos are the perfect way to radiate classic beauty, particularly for special occasions. Whether it’s a summer barbecue, a friend’s wedding, or a night out on the town, the versatile updo is the way to go.
- Start by spritzing your clean, dry hair with hairspray. This will give your hair texture and help keep it in place while styling.
- Section your hair into two parts, top and bottom. Starting with the bottom half, tuck the ends of your hair around itself, making small twists and sections until you have worked your way up to the top of your head.
- Create a bun with the top half. Whether it’s a tight ballerina bun, a fishtail, or a topknot, it’s up to you. If you’re daring, try a double bun.
- Secure the bun with a few bobby pins. Then, pin the top and bottom sections together. For an extra touch of sophistication, wrap a thin strand right above the bun with a hair accessory.
- Finish off your look with a light mist of hairspray. Ensure your do will stay in place all night long.
With a few simple steps, you can create a timeless, sophisticated updo. Have a great time out showing off your elegant new do!
