Low bun: who suits this hairstyle?

A classic hairstyle that can instantly improve your appearance while keeping things understated and sophisticated is the low bun. It’s an adaptable option for both dressing up for a formal event and going to a laid-back brunch. This timeless updo can be styled in a variety of ways to suit a range of preferences and events.

However, not everyone might be comfortable attempting this style. Some may be concerned about whether it will go with their particular style, hair type, or face shape. The truth is that with the right technique and a few adjustments, almost anyone can pull off a low bun.

This post will discuss who looks best in a low bun, what to look for when selecting this style, and how to personalize it. There’s a low bun out there that will work wonders for you, regardless of your hair type—fine, thick, short, or long.

Features of the low bun hairstyle

If you only knew how much I adore low buns. Besides, I am a great conservative. This means that when my hair grows out, a low bun becomes my choice for every day – for work, for a walk, and for a date. But this is not only because I do not like change. It"s just that a low bun is very easy to do yourself with your own hands, has many interesting variations and helps you feel "on top" in any situation. Besides, it has not gone out of fashion for several years! If you love a low bun for medium or long hair, just like me; if you have never done this hairstyle, but have long wanted to join the fan club of low buns; if you think that a low bun is difficult, uncomfortable, not very neat – do not switch! Today we will look at this hairstyle in the photo from all sides, find out what its pros and cons are, and then we will draw our own conclusion.

• versatility – a bun can be made both for a dress and for a suit;

• convenience in everyday life – it does not interfere with either work or rest;

• style – a low bun has remained fashionable for several years now and is more popular than hair gathered up;

• ease of execution – even a person who does not know how to braid a three-strand braid or how to put hair in a ponytail can handle it.

Additionally, the low bun has very few drawbacks—in fact, just one—namely:

• a low bun covers part of the neck, so girls who cannot boast of a sufficiently long neck are better off not doing this hairstyle.

Who suits a low bun hairstyle?

Let’s now discuss more specifically who should wear a low bun and who should never wear one. Thankfully, very few people fit into the second group!

A low bun will appear tasteful if:

• you are the owner of medium or long hair;

• you have straight hair;

• you have curly hair;

• you have a fairly long neck;

• you like to gather your hair and open your face.

You shouldn’t wear a bun at the bottom if:

• you prefer hairstyles in which strands cover part of the face;

• you have a short neck;

• your face shape is a triangle (in this case, a low bun will make the already heavy lower part of the face visually heavier).

How to make a low bun with your own hands?

As we’ve already established, it’s very simple to make a low bun by hand! If you’re still not sure you can do something, get rid of your doubts and follow the step-by-step instructions provided by SalonSecret experts to quickly and easily achieve a fantastic outcome.

Low bun for short hair step by step

Sadly, extremely short hair cannot be worn in a low bun. The only method left to recreate this look is with a chignon. Extended and false strands are also acceptable. And if you’re feeling adventurous and young, try this styling technique with combed kanekalons.

• Apply dry shampoo Matrix High Amplify to the partings. After a minute, comb your hair, lifting it from the roots.

• Select a strand of hair and attach the kanekalon to it with a fold. Fix it with a thin elastic band.

• Repeat the procedure with at least a dozen more strands all over your head, trying to maintain approximately the same indents between them.

• Pull the kanekalons into a low ponytail and start securing them with an elastic band. On the last turn, clamp the loop of the ponytail with an elastic band. You will get a freedom-loving half-bun of dreadlocks.

A low bun for medium hair step by step

In this instance, a low bun looks neat and manageable because the hair is medium length, or at least a classic bob.

We’ve prepared detailed instructions for you on how to use flagella to make a low bun. Great hairstyle that works for a regular workday as well as a holiday.

• Distribute mousse over the entire length of damp hair Redken Stay High. Dry them with a hairdryer and set the texture with an iron. To do this, move the styler from top to bottom – to the ends, turning your wrist left and right around its axis (as if you were turning a key in a lock).

• Divide the entire mass of hair into three parts: a voluminous central one at the back and thinner side ones.

• Collect the central part into a low ponytail at the back of the head, secure with a silicone elastic band.

• Make a bun, forming a loop from the tail.

• Hide the ends of the strands under the base of the bun and securely fasten with invisible pins.

• Twist the side strands into bundles – they should not be too tight, but not loose either. You can spray each bundle with a spray L"Oréal Professionnel Fix Design, helping to locally fix the intended shape.

• Wrap the bundles one by one around the base of the bun and secure the ends of the strands with invisible pins.

On medium-length hair, creating a tidy low bun based on inverted ponytails is even simpler. Watch how Matrix Stanislava Milosskaya, the stylist and digital technologist, does it.

What you need to make a low bun: a checklist

If this is your first time making a low bun, make sure you have everything you’ll need on hand for the task.

At SalonSecret, we are fully aware of the essentials needed to create a low bun. We are happy to provide you with our comprehensive selection of styling products, accessories, and tools.

Tools

In order to make a low bun, you will need:

• hairbrush;

• comb with thin teeth – for backcombing;

• hairpins – if you want to make a bun from braids or plaits;

• invisible hairpins – to securely fasten the ends of the strands at the base of the bun;

• bolt for creating a voluminous low bun.

Accessories

What will set apart an everyday hairstyle:

• hair elastic – to secure the base of the bun;

• hair clip – to secure the bun and decorate it;

• hair band – to create a romantic mood.

Styling products

Our objective is an opulent and durable hairstyle, so using quality styling products is essential. What you need to make a low bun is as follows.

Volumizing mousse

Make sure you apply a small amount of mousse to your curls for volume before drying them after washing. Your hairstyle will appear more opulent the more voluminous your hair is.

Experts at SalonSecret recommend mousse Matrix Volume Builder as a good option because it lifts curls from the roots without overly complicating the styling.

Contouring mousse

A low bun may cause your curly hair to lose its texture and beauty. I strongly suggest using a specific contouring mousse designed for Tecni’s curls to avoid this. L’Oréal Professional’s Art Spiral Queen.

Every curl will be able to appear five plus. An attachment for a diffuser on a hair dryer will also improve the definition and elasticity of curls.

Oil for hair ends

What happens to the ends when the strands that sparkle with health and beauty along the entire length are still visible? Being pinched with invisible hairpins and kept under a bun all day is a cruel fate.

Make sure to use strengthening oil on a regular basis to maintain the low bun look while also protecting the ends of your hair. For instance, "Indian Amla" oil from the Oil Wonders line thickens and strengthens hair, assisting it in overcoming life’s challenges and resisting breaking under the weight of hairpins and invisible hairpins. This product is specifically designed for situations like these in the Matrix.

Finishing spray

Because they think hairsprays glue curls together and give the hairstyle a "plastic" appearance, many people are afraid of them. In vain: although modern finishing sprays are entirely undetectable on hair, they still perform admirably. Naturally, low buns hold up better than high ones, but both need extra support to keep looking fantastic all day.

Put your trust in L’Oréal Professionnel’s Infinium Crystal Extra Strong varnish and enjoy life without worrying about your hairstyle.
