Low Bun with Wispy Bangs for a Poetic Look
A gentle low bun or a side bun paired with long, wispy bangs will accentuate the graceful beauty of women donning the elegant ‘ao dai’. The ideal length for the bangs is just touching the cheeks, softening the facial features and adding a graceful touch. After styling the bangs meticulously, apply a light coat of hair serum or a gentle hold hairspray to keep your hair smooth, shiny, and fragrant as you stroll through the fragrant spring streets.
Braided Bun Hairstyle
If you’re not a fan of the traditional braid, try something new with this intricate braided bun. It’s especially suitable to pair with the ‘ao dai’ during the Lunar New Year. This hairstyle is perfect for those who adore a gentle, sweet look and is ideal for dates or parties.
To achieve this look, separate three or four strands of hair from one side of your head and braid them to the ends. Repeat the process on the other side. Finally, wrap the two braided sections around your head and secure them with bobby pins. With this hairstyle, you’re sure to be the center of attention during the holidays!

Low Bun Hairstyle
The low bun hairstyle is ideal for those who adore a gentle look but want to add a modern twist. When creating this bun, remember to be gentle and create a voluminous effect. You can also try the ‘Messy Low Bun’ for a natural, carefree, and dynamic style. With this hairstyle, those loose strands will give you a lively, free-spirited, and carefree look.
High Bun Hairstyle
The high bun, also known as the ‘garlic clove’ bun, is a simple yet elegant choice, allowing girls to comfortably stroll through the spring streets without worrying about greasy or messy hair. This versatile hairstyle pairs well with the ‘ao dai’ as well as various other outfits.
Girls with round faces should try high buns at the top of their heads to create a lengthening effect. However, keep in mind that this style can make your head appear larger, so avoid pulling your hair too tight. Instead, gently pull the top section of your hair to create natural volume, resulting in a softer appearance.
