As spring blossoms begin to emerge in March 2025, elegant hairstyles become essential for the season’s special events. The twisted low bun stands out as a versatile and sophisticated option that combines timeless elegance with modern flair. Whether you’re attending a wedding, graduation ceremony, or spring gala, mastering this hairstyle will ensure you look polished and prepared for any occasion.
Why the twisted low bun is perfect for spring 2025 events
The twisted low bun offers the perfect balance between structured elegance and effortless style. “What makes this hairstyle particularly suitable for spring events is its ability to withstand changing weather conditions while maintaining its polished appearance,” explains Marie Laurent, celebrity hairstylist at Salon Élégance in Paris.
With unpredictable March winds and spring showers, having a secure hairstyle that won’t fall flat is crucial. One stylist created a similar bun that remained perfect for 6 hours despite gusty March conditions, proving the staying power of this style.
Essential tools for your twisted low bun
- Boar bristle brush for smoothing
- Hair elastic and bobby pins
- Texturizing spray for grip
- Medium-hold hairspray
Basic twisted low bun tutorial
Begin by brushing your hair thoroughly to remove tangles. Create a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, about an inch above your hairline. “The key to an elegant finish is positioning the ponytail properly—too low and it looks sloppy, too high and it loses its sophisticated appeal,” notes Dr. Elizabeth Chen, hair specialist.
Twist the ponytail clockwise until it begins to coil naturally. Wrap this twisted section around the base of your ponytail, securing with bobby pins as you go. For maximum elegance, tuck the ends underneath and pin securely.
Advanced variation: The inside-out wrapped bun
For a more intricate style that’s been turning heads at spring 2025 events, try the inside-out technique. After creating your low ponytail, split it into two sections. Create a small opening just above the elastic and pull the ends through, creating a sophisticated twist effect.
This technique has gained significant popularity, with three wedding stylists requesting details about this elegant chignon method after seeing its beautiful results at formal spring gatherings.
How to add volume for fine hair
If you have thin hair like many women, don’t worry—this style can actually create the illusion of thickness. Several elegant updos can make thin hair appear twice as voluminous, including this twisted bun.
The secret lies in strategic teasing at the crown and light backcombing before twisting. “Think of your hair like fabric—creating gentle folds and overlaps adds visual weight and dimension without requiring more material,” explains stylist Jennifer Williams.
Finishing touches for longevity
- Secure with crossed bobby pins for better hold
- Apply hairspray from 10 inches away for natural movement
- Add decorative pins or fresh flowers for spring flair
- Consider a light hair oil on ends for shine
For those concerned about hairstyle longevity, take inspiration from those who discovered updos that provide instant volume and lasting power, even for mature hair types.
Complementary hairstyles for spring events
If you’re attending multiple spring functions, consider alternating your twisted low bun with elegant French braid variations that have proven to last through 8-hour formal events. These styles complement each other beautifully in your spring hairstyle repertoire.
The twisted low bun serves as your hairstyle anchor—like the little black dress of hair—while braided styles offer creative variation for your spring social calendar. Master both, and you’ll be prepared for any event the season brings, from garden weddings to evening galas.
