Really Pretty Hairstyles

Try this braided look if you want to stand out from the crowd with style and sophistication. Perfect for any event and sure to turn heads.

Add elegance to your half-up and half-down hairstyle by tying a delicate bow around your ponytail base. This timeless trend looks fabulous on all hair textures!

This style could be for you if this style could be for you if you’re after something more elegant than your every day. Bold yet feminine with just enough personality to set itself apart in a crowd.

Gigi Hadid’s iconic slicked-back style can easily be achieved at home using only a tiny amount of gel (apply dime-sized amounts until your desired hold has been achieved) or, if your locks have more curly than straight qualities, use drops only to keep flyaways under control while the remainder of your style cascade into long spikes that defy gravity. Slicked-back hair stands out with a curly taper fade, adding an edge and sophistication that stands out in any look. To maximize this hairstyle, add small knotless braids like pink cornrows for added texture and femininity.

Finding a celebrity, model, or influencer on Instagram who does not sport her hair pulled back in a sleek bun is practically impossible – the look instantly elevates their mood while hiding any signs of oily roots or an unfortunate hair day in minutes!

Here, check out how some of our favorites–Bella Hadid to Yara Shahidi–have styled back their dark locks for an effortless and minimal aesthetic. Whether your goal is a bold ’60s mod or ’70s glam aesthetic, this look will take you places!

Start by starting with freshly washed and brushed hair (using volumizing shampoo for fuller strands) before smoothing a gel from roots to ends using a wide-tooth comb, according to Fitzsimons. Secure it all with solid hold hairspray before finishing your bun with a satin scrunchie or bedazzled pins (thin ones work best, but thick ones may also do), just like Bridgerton star Simone Ashley did at the Met Gala 2023.

There are so many cute braided styles you can experiment with, all perfect for special events. One of our favorites is this flower-shaped braid. It looks incredible on any hair length and works perfectly for various occasions – adding hair flowers will only make this more charming!

To create this charming style, start with a half-up ponytail secured with a hair tie. Next, begin braiding by adding hair from top to middle of your head until reaching the nape of your neck – continuing this process until finished!

Once your braid is complete, pull it to the back of your head and pancake it with a small elastic. Next, tuck its end into a circle shape using bobby pins before repeating on the other side and accessorizing with any fun blossoms or flowers you like!

Whether your hair is straight or curly, this straightforward two-bun hairstyle will add an elegant touch to any everyday outfit. Perfect for both casual outings as well as professional settings!

Add an eye-catching dimension to the double bun with two distinctly colored hair strands! This looks especially striking on textured locks, letting the eye-catching shade shine brightly throughout both buns.

This variation of the double bun creates an alluring mermaid-meets-fairy aesthetic, making it the ideal way to showcase new colors or for editorial styling. For extra hold, lightly mist the look with hairspray before gently tugging at each bun to separate as needed.
