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.

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.
