Updo Braids & Updo for women

An elegant updo with hair swept up and gathered into a soft, textured bun at the back of the head. A few delicate face-framing tendrils are left loose around the ears and temples. The bun has a romantic, slightly undone quality rather than being overly tight. The look is graceful, polished, and perfect for formal occasions.
