Sleek Bun with a Floral Accent
This sleek bun will give you an elegant and polished look. The carefully brushed bangs and distinct middle part create a sophisticated silhouette.

Low Bun with Wispy Bangs for a Poetic Look
A low, gentle bun or a side bun paired with long, sweeping bangs will accentuate the graceful beauty of the ‘ao dai’. The ideal bang length is just touching the cheekbones, softening and elongating the face. After styling your bangs, apply a light hair serum or styling spray to keep your hair shiny, fragrant, and ready for those spring outings.
Braided Bun Hairstyle
If you’re not a fan of traditional braids, try something new with this intricate braided bun. It’s especially suitable for pairing with the ‘ao dai’ during the Lunar New Year. This hairstyle is perfect for those who adore a gentle, sweet look and is an excellent choice for dates or parties.
To achieve this style, separate your hair into three or four sections on one side 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 hairpins. With this hairstyle, you’re sure to be the center of attention at any festive gathering!

Low Bun Hairstyle
The low bun is ideal for those who adore a gentle look but want to add a modern twist. When creating this style, remember to be gentle to maintain volume. You can also try the ‘Messy Low Bun’ for a natural, carefree, and dynamic look. With this style, those loose strands will give you a vibrant, free-spirited, and carefree appearance.
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 festivals without worrying about greasy or messy hair. This versatile hairstyle pairs well with the ‘ao dai’ and many other outfits.
Girls with round faces should try high buns to create a longer and slimmer facial silhouette. However, keep in mind that this style can make your head look 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.
