Zoë Kravitz makes any hairstyle look good, but we’re especially obsessed with the way she pulled her braids up into this casual high bun. The middle part makes it look stylized and chic.

Although the image of pigtail braids might immediately bring up thoughts of hairstyles you wore as a child, Elizabeth Olsen shows us there’s a mature way to do it. She has a middle part with two loose pigtail braids and a face-framing piece hanging free in the front.

A messy bun is easy to achieve, and if you pull out some face-framing pieces like J. Lo, you’ll look like you got a full-on updo rather than just throw up your hair.

The slicked-back bun is a staple hairstyle, but it’s often seen with a severe middle part. Why not switch things up and opt for a side part? You can even add a bow embellishment like Hailey Bieber did in the example above.
