French Bun Hairstyles
Below we have prepared you our 8 picks for French bun hairstyles for women.
1. Layered French Braided Bun
If you have some extra time, have some extra fun with this French bun.
Ideal for: Round and square-shaped faces.
How to style: Making this hairstyle requires a little bit of time and patience, but once you have these buns straight and styled, it looks great. Use a little bit of wax to calm down the pieces of hair that managed to escape you.
2. Elegant Horizontal French Bun
A romantic French style bun for a special evening out.

3. Simple Chignon Bun
This is a pretty simple and classical French bun that every woman loves.
Ideal for: All face shapes.
How to style: The shape of this bun itself is pretty classical. Follow the instructions for a French bun hairstyle and you will master it in no time. But we suggest leaving a few pieces of hair here and there just to avoid that strict look that can make you look older.
4. French Bun with Dutch Braid
A braid is a great option to enhance any hairstyle.
Ideal for: Round and square-shaped faces.
How to style: Start braiding a thick braid on the top of the head. Make sure it isn’t too tight so that it doesn’t change the shape of the whole updo. Then make a French bun that can be a bit diagonal just so that the braid is visible enough.
5. Low and Teased French
A low messy bun that is teased on top looks simple and elegant for formal occasions.
Ideal for: Round and heart-shaped faces.
How to style: Tease the top part of your hair for volume and create a classical vertical French updo with bangs placing it just a bit lower than usual. Leave the bangs to fall by the face freely and curl them gently for a romantic touch.
