It gives you a minimalist, trendy look with sleek and smooth-looking hair. It instantly gets rid of the frizz and leaves your hair straight and shiny. To add more beauty to this bridal hairstyle, pick small accessories and white, delicate flowers that will enhance the glamour quotient of your bun.

Get the look:

1. Apply a heat-protectant serum or spray.

2. Switch on the hair straightener and part your hair into small sections till the hair styling tool heats up.

3. Pick one section of your hair at a time and carefully glide the hair straightener through the strands.

4. For a half updo, section off the top half of your hair and tie it up with a rubber band.

5. Split the tied section into three equal parts and do the regular braid.

6. Secure the ends of your braid with a rubber band and wrap that section around each other forming a bun that resembles a rose.
