There are ways to make the low bun look less "chic" and more "I'm about to star in Hamilton," but the key is to make sure that the pieces that frame the face are clearly split from the back and look shiny instead of messy.
The bangs that touch the eyes are the hardest part of this style. The front layers will grow out nicely, and you might even be able to do your roots at home.
While this fall hairstyle may look easy, it requires two things: clean, longer hair (the front can be shorter, just long enough to fit behind your ears); and bobby pins or hair clips that are the same color as your hair.
Oh, those Y2K beauty trends. I missed you a little! Little braids can look random instead of fun and planned if they're too thin or not spread out enough.
I have just the look for you if you love a messy bun but want to try something new. To cover your face, tie a short scarf or cloth around it. Then, put your bun high on your head.
Most of the time, you want to avoid the crunchiness. But adding a little water-soluble gel or hairspray here and there as your hair air-dries or afterward can give you a hint of texture without making you feel greasy.
Depending on how your hair reacts, you'll be giving it a lot of love and wetness with curl cream and serum. Once it's dry, you'll spray it with texture spray five inches from the root to the ends.
Hair color is great, but: the upkeep. However! If you balayage, no one will know how long ago you dyed it.
All you need for this sleek look is a flat iron and a smoothing hair serum.
