As we all learn eventually, even the simplest hairstyles can be a challenge to master. Low buns are definitely part of this list, because as straightforward as they can be, these require small styling tweaks to look more flattering. Here are some ideas how to make any low bun flattering.
Don’t Part Your Hair
The key to mastering natural-looking hairstyles is making sure there are no harsh lines in your look. This includes having no clear partitions, which can help you look younger.

Consider Where Your Bun Sits
To give your low bun a fuss-free effect, position it on the same level as the center of your ear. Putting it too low might make it appear too loose and make tying your tresses a bit more difficult.

Don’t Put Your Hair Through Elastic All The Way
Instead of pulling your hair all the way through the elastic like a ponytail, stop a quarter of the way. From there, grab the ends of your hair, wrap it around the bun, and secure the look by tucking the ends back into the elastic.

Add Volume
Fingercombing and adjusting some areas of your low bun can do wonders for volume. For that natural look, just mess it up a little bit and pull on some small sections to add some details. When doing this step, try to take your face shape into consideration, too. For example, if you have a longer face, you can opt to add volume to the sides by pulling your bun horizontally. Remember not to make your low bun too tight as it may be harmful for your hair, and it may fall out.

Frame Your Face With Side Bangs
Face-framing details are crucial to a flattering low bun. Pull your hair and heat the roots a bit and create the curl like this. The main point is not to go directly to the side to create the curl. If you do it that way, your hair doesn’t have any volume. Curve it forward then to the side.

Make Your Bun The Right Size
The size of your updo should be just enough to be proportional to the size of your head and the length of your hair. It should neither be too big nor too small!
