16. Low Bun
For a more polished feel, try a low bun. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it into a bun. It’s super chic and keeps your hair securely in place. This style looks great with more minimalist outfits. A little hairspray can help keep it smooth. Pull out a couple of face-framing pieces for a softer look.
15. Space Buns
Space buns are just plain fun! Part your hair down the middle and make two ponytails high up on each side of your head. Then, twist each ponytail into a bun. This style is playful and trendy. It’s perfect for younger ages or anyone who loves bold looks. Add some glitter spray or colorful elastics to make them even more exciting.
14. Bubble Ponytail
The bubble ponytail adds a cool twist to a regular pony. Start with a high or low ponytail. Then, add elastics down the length of the ponytail every few inches. Gently pull each section between the elastics to create “bubbles.” It’s a fun look that adds lots of interest, especially on medium to long hair. Pulling the bubbles makes it look fuller.
13. French Braid
The French braid is a classic for a reason. It keeps your hair totally contained and looks so neat. It’s perfect for active days or when you just want your hair completely out of the way. The key to a clean look is keeping your sections of hair even as you braid. It takes a little practice but is so worth it.
12. Dutch Braid
The Dutch braid is like a French braid but it pops out instead of blending in. You braid the sections under instead of over. This gives it a trendy, raised look that adds texture and volume to your hair. You can gently pull the edges of the braid to make it look even fuller and more relaxed.
11. Two Braids
Whether you do French or Dutch braids, creating two on either side of your head is a great look. It’s symmetrical and keeps your hair super secure. This style works for sporty looks or just a cute everyday vibe. Make sure to secure the ends neatly with elastics.
10. Messy Bun
The messy bun is all about looking effortlessly cool. Gather your hair loosely and twist it into a bun, letting some pieces fall out naturally. It’s relaxed and perfect for a casual style or when you’re in a hurry. Using some dry shampoo before you start can give your hair extra texture for the bun.
