The feeling

A closer look

This everyday updo gathers length at the nape without needing a tightly slicked hairline. A few loose pieces can soften the finish, but they are optional. It should feel secure without tugging; a comfortable tie and pins can support the shape with less pressure.

These generated images are inspiration. A hairdresser can help adapt the shape to your density, growth patterns and preferred routine.

Make it work for you

Styling notes

  • Gather the hair loosely at the nape and secure it with a gentle tie.
  • Twist the length lightly and wrap it into a bun without pulling the roots tight.
  • Pin the ends, then loosen the crown slightly and check that the style feels comfortable.

Everyday upkeep

  • Take the style down if it pulls, hurts or leaves the scalp feeling tender.
  • Vary the position of buns and ties instead of placing tension on the same area daily.
