Off-duty models love the slicked-back low bun for showing off their minimalist chic style. To achieve this look, a middle part and some pomade or hair wax should help achieve a sleek finish; brush away any flyaways around your hairline for a finished look.

Try this braided style if you want a low updo that feels fresh and unique. It adds texture and a pop of color without adding too much volume.
Begin by parting your hair into two even sections and creating French braids on both sides. After that, twist both strands together before wrapping them around your ponytail using an elastic hair tie to secure.

Start this innovative updo with a sleek low ponytail, then divide it into three equal sections and twirl each into a mini bun, secured with bobby pins.
Bouffant Low Bun
A low bun with crisscrossed ringlets is easy to style yet sophisticated, perfect for weddings or special events when adorned with an impressive flower.
With the addition of an elegant barrette, any textured chignon can quickly become an eye-catching mother-of-the-bride updo. Just pin back any curled pieces and finish off your sleek style by spraying some hairspray for a long-lasting style!

Bouquet of Roses Updo
Wearing flowers in your hair is an effortless way to elevate a simple updo instantly. Add an elegant chignon with an exquisite bouquet of roses, or create an earthier braided style by including andromeda stems in it.
Small flowers such as gypsophila and rosebuds make an elegant touch for spring weddings. When styling updos like this one, tuck a few tiny blooms in for added dimension.
Silver Braids Updo
Make an impactful statement with your silver-gray locks with an impressive updo featuring a side braid and softly curled face-framing tendrils to complete this chic style.
Request thick long box braids from your stylist and wear them as an updo for an eye-catching high updo look. They are adding flair with some stylish silver hair clips. Black and silver two-toned hairstyles are an excellent way to experiment with updos while choosing black or white for undercolors.
Messy Low Bun
A low, messy bun paired with braids and a flower crown makes for the ideal look at weddings or other formal events. Use hairspray to keep the style in place to achieve a sleeker finish, or try crinkling your locks first to achieve retro charm.
This style requires more precision, yet its unruly, lived-in appearance is irresistible. Use bobby pins to secure loose ends in place, and add flowers for an eye-catching accent.
Infinity Symbol Updo
Add flowers for an elegant formal event with this romantic and feminine low bun style. Their delicate petals make an unexpected but lovely addition that elevates this stunning style.
Start with a high ponytail, then twist and pin the top half away from the hair elastic band for an infinity sign effect. Finally, repeat these steps on the other half.
