Low Bun with Wispy Bangs for a Romantic Look
A low, gentle 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 cheekbones, softening the facial features and creating a more ethereal look. After styling your bangs, apply a light hair serum or hairspray to keep your hair sleek, shiny, and fragrant as you stroll through the spring festival.
Braided Bun Hairstyle
If you’re not a fan of the traditional braid, try this intricate variation: a braided bun wrapped around your head. This style is especially fitting for the Lunar New Year celebrations when paired with the ‘ao dai’. It’s a perfect choice for those who embody a gentle and sweet demeanor and is ideal for dates or parties during the festive season.
To achieve this look, separate your hair into three or four sections on one side and braid them until you reach 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 Hairstyle
The low bun is ideal for those who embody gentleness yet wish to add a modern twist. When creating this style, remember to gently pull on the hair to create a voluminous effect. You can also try the ‘Messy Low Bun’ for a natural, carefree, and dynamic look. With this style, the loose strands of hair will give you a lively, free-spirited appearance.
High Bun Hairstyle
The high bun, also known as the ‘onion 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 their heads to create the illusion of a longer and slimmer face. 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 look.
