BRAIDED BUN PROM HAIR

Looking good for prom can be hard, but an elegant hairstyle can be easy! Braiding your hair into a bun can be very flattering to lift the hair away from your face. It can also be a sexy look because it exposes the neckline and shoulders.

Before you raise you hair up, consider your face shape. If you are going to pull the hair up all the way into a bun, then you will want to have an oval or heart shaped face because it will be very flattering. You will also want to have smaller feminine features to accentuate because with larger foreheads or noses, this look will simply but your face out of balance.

If you have a round or elongated face, or you have large features, you can still pull off a braided bun look by adding a side swept bang combination to break up the lines of your face and lessen the overall effect of the ‘up’ hairstyle. You can also create new looks with a combination of bun and some long layered strands along your face.

A more modern and fun look can also be created by putting the bun to the side of your head. This look is still an ‘up’ style with a modern twist! Your hair looks like a beautiful flower if it is done right. But for women with really thick hair, you will look like you are hiding a softball in the flower, so this look may not be for you. You will have to experiment a little before you are sure, but take some chances and see if the braided bun works for you!
