6. Braided Bun
A braided bun is one of the most practical summer hairstyles because it combines the security of a braid with the neatness of an updo. You can create a simple braided bun by braiding a ponytail and wrapping it into a bun.
This hairstyle is excellent for workdays, formal events, outdoor dinners, and hot afternoons when you want your hair completely off your neck.
Who It Suits Best
The braided bun suits medium to long hair and works for almost all hair textures. It is especially helpful for people who want a clean, elegant hairstyle with strong hold.
