low bun

Hair coiled back

A low bun is a hairstyle where hair is gathered and twisted or coiled at the nape of the neck rather than higher on the head.

The style reads as polished but relaxed, suitable for both casual and formal settings: She pulled her hair into a low bun for the interview.

Compare with high bun, which sits at the crown.
