There are just some hairstyles that I have yet to master doing on my own—a super slick updo is one of them. I've pretty much given up on trying to perfect the sleek look, but Latto's most recent concert appearance hairstyle just reminded me that achieving the perfect slick back bun is really an artform.
The rapper appeared at the YFN LUCCI & Friends Welcome Home Concert in Atlanta, GA over the weekend, where she wore a navy blue mini tube dress with white, polka-dotted knee-high boots and silver jewelry. Latto kept her nails simple with a medium-length, almond-shaped French manicure, and staying on theme with the "clean girl aesthetic," she styled her honey blonde hair in a top bun, and I'm truly impressed at the fact that not a single hair was left out of place.
Slick backs buns are a tried-and-true style because of how versatile they are, and they're perfect for pretty much any occasion, from everyday outings to an elegant night on the town. They're fitting for every season as well, and if you're dealing with third or fourth-day hair, throwing it back in a bun is an easy way to keep your strands protected until it's officially time for wash day.
