This summer hair trend is a minimalist's dream come true.
Sleek or messy- no matter your preferred style - the low ponytail/bun has replaced the top knot. Can you hear the jubilant screams of thin-haired girls everywhere?
Harper's Bazaar notes that "low hair" is a simple, yet modern and fresh new look to try now. This trend truly takes effortless chic to a whole new level.
Why we love it so...
It's super fast and easy
Slick back and tie loosely at the nape of your neck (in either a pony or a loop). Add a black bow (seen below) for a more elegant, Breakfast at Tiffany's feel.
It works on both thin and thick hair
If your thick hair is too frizzy, try using a serum like Moroccan Oil Smooth Lotion to smooth out the hair.
It works on all face shapes
InStyle notes that a low rider 'do can make a round face look slimmer, while adding texture to a low pony (loosen some layers) can make a long face look wider.
You don't need super long hair to achieve this look.
To get a great top knot, you need masses of long hair. Whereas a short low pony can also look neat and modern.
A low bun will make you look like a cool, edgy ballerina.
Toughen up this sweet look by adding a dark lipstick or statement earrings instead of wearing soft muted hues on your lips or pearl earrings.
