The low bun is a timeless wedding hairstyle that has stood the test of time, and for good reason. Its versatility allows it to be styled in countless ways, from a sleek chignon to a braided updo. The classic look of a low bun is effortlessly chic, sitting pretty on the nape of the neck with soft strands framing the face.While more recent styles tend towards undone, effortless looks, the low bun can also be styled for a regal, elegant appearance or swept back into a neat ‘do. This style’s polished finish makes it perfect for showcasing the neckline of your dress, earrings, or a beautiful neckpiece.Many stylists will use techniques like backcombing to add volume and texturizing with waves to enhance the look. For a more undone, relaxed appearance, they’ll pin up sections of hair one by one. Alternatively, you can opt for a sleeker style or add braids, twists, rolls, flowers, and accessories to give your look more interest and detail.
