6. The Messy Bun with Wispy Face-Framing Tendrils
Softness is the secret to making any casual updo look effortlessly romantic rather than severely utilitarian. The wispy face-framing tendrils style focuses heavily on pulling out specific pieces around the hairline to create a flattering, delicate frame for your face. Begin by sweeping your hair up into a medium-high loose bun, ensuring that the overall tension on the scalp remains gentle and comfortable. Once the updo is secured with pins or an elastic, use the tail of a rattail comb or your fingertips to gently tease out thin strands from right in front of your ears and along your temples. You can use a curling wand to add a subtle bend to these loose tendrils for an even softer, more romantic finish. This style works exceptionally well for softening angular face shapes and brings a wonderfully relaxed, bohemian charm to your favorite everyday casual outfits.
