1. Bouffant Messy Hairdo
Low buns tend to make thin hair appear very limp and flat, which ruins the entire look. The Bouffant Messy hairstyle is the answer to that.

4. One Part and Two Braid
This is just like the one braid but instead of one, we have two! Part your hair in the middle and braid each side.
Instead of leaving the hair loose, braid it all the way down and twist the braids into a bun.
5. Flat Side Part

However, ladies with wide foreheads, avoid this hairstyle version – it’ll only make it look bigger!

We would suggest going for a side part for more volume, but make your pick according to your preference!

First, make a side part in the front and make a twist with the hair. Now, start taking random parts of the hair and twist them into loose rolls – use bobby pins to secure them. After you’re sure they won’t move around – make a bun at the bottom and you’re done!

15. Bun With a Band
This is quite a simple hairstyle whose beauty lies in how you pair it up!
