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 the “ao dai.” The ideal length for the bangs is just touching the cheeks, softening the facial features and creating a more ethereal look. After styling the bangs meticulously, apply a light coat of hair serum or styling spray to keep the hair smooth, shiny, and fragrant as you stroll through the spring festival.
Braided Bun Hairstyle
If you’re not a fan of traditional braids, try this intricate and captivating variation: the braided bun. This style is especially suitable to pair with the “ao dai” during the Lunar New Year celebrations. It’s a perfect choice for those who adore a gentle and sweet look, be it for a date or a festive gathering.
To achieve this style, 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 a head-turner at the festivities!

Low Bun
The low bun is ideal for those who adore a gentle look while adding a modern twist. When creating this style, remember to be gentle and create a slight puff at the crown. You can also try the “Messy Low Bun” for a natural, effortlessly chic look. With this style, the loose strands will give you a lively, free-spirited, and carefree appearance.
High Bun
The high bun, also known as the “garlic clove” bun, is a simple yet classy choice, allowing girls to comfortably stroll through the spring festivities without worrying about greasy or messy hair. This versatile hairstyle pairs well with the “ao dai” and various other outfits.
Girls with round faces should try high buns at the top of the head to create the illusion of a longer and slimmer face. However, keep in mind that this style can make the head appear larger, so avoid pulling your hair too tight. Instead, gently pull the top section of your hair to create a natural puff, resulting in a softer look.
