This hairstyle is ideal for ladies with thick black locks. With a side-parted swooped front fringe the hair is styled into a jumbo side bun using a hair donut to get the extra volume. The fancy headband adds a queen-like appeal.

#6: Lovely Side Bun

Young girls can amp up their chignon bun by carrying it on one side. The hair is folded up to create the bun and secured with pins. The front strands are pinned back loosely too. Highlights peeking through the darker strands set off the look. 

#7: Keep It High

Flaunt a high bun instead of a usual low one. To create this look, the hair is brushed up and rolled around into a perfectly round chignon. The front fringe is twisted around the bun too. Add a pearl chain on the bun for a chic appeal.

#8: Twisted Style

You will definitely like this twisted bun that is perfect for any occasion. The front hair is twisted and wrapped around the low bun on opposite sides. Add cute little white roses to complete this adorable style suitable for women of any age.

#9: Front Braids
