The sleek low bun Cue the cocktails and floor-length gowns, because really, what's more elegant than a sleek low bun? This hairstyle can complete any fancy look in seconds, or even just boost the sophistication in your everyday ensemble.

To get the look, blow dry hair super straight. "Then pull all your hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, except for the bangs or front layers," says Antin. Fasten the ponytail, then wrap the hair around the elastic to create the bun. Secure at the base with bobby pins. For added drama, Antin advises taking the strands you left out and loosely pulling them back into the bun, wrapping them around the base. Secure with a few more bobby pins and mist on some light hairspray.

Buns are what I've been wearing for a while now. Very easy to just twist, pin and go.

These articles always sound so good....in theory but I can never manage them in reality. LOL I have learned that if it says "effortless" or "blow dry hair super straight" or "take a 1" curling iron...", I may as well give it up now. LOL

I'm not a huge fan of buns, but I liked quite a few of these.
