Work: Wispy Bun

We don't all get paid to model, but that doesn't mean we can't show off our style at the office. Take a cue from Chanel Iman and go for this chic bun. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail and twist it around until you have a rolled shape. Twirl it into a chignon bun, secure with a few bobby pins, and you’re done. "To play up this look try changing the position of the bun," suggests Lopez. "Keep it low, but perhaps off to the right or left, making the look more personal and playful."
