Ballet bun: We love these variations of the updo

The low bun
Do updos only work on very long hair? Far from it! A low ballerina bun that sits low on the neck is idealshort or medium length hairto keep out of your face in summer. The updo creates a polished look and is styled in under 5 minutes. Sounds like a real win-win situation, right? To do this, proceed as described above, but instead of tying your hair into a high ponytail, secure it at the bottom of your neck.
The braided bun
Would you like something more playful and feminine? Then the braided bun is exactly what you need. The updo is one of those looks that seem very complicated at first glance, but are actually very easy to recreate. For the braided ballerina bun, the hair is tied into a ponytail as in the classic version, but this is then braided into a braid. Whether a “false” braid with two strands or a classic one with three strands is entirely up to you. Then wrap the braid around the hair tie and secure it with a few bobby pins. The braided ballet bun looks particularly good on straight, long hair.
Spice up the ballerina bun with accessories
The ballerina bun is a real eye-catcher in itself. But it wouldn't hurt to enhance the hairstyle with a few trendy hair accessories, right? Hair accessories add a fine touch to our look and highlight our updo even better. Whether clips, chains, scarves or statement hairpins – the selection of hair accessories is now really huge and the small details ensure a wow effect. You can either fix the hair accessories underneath the bun or put them directly into the bun.
