Hi! Recently I've been trying to align SD guidelines of hair (face framing, voluminous, drawing out sharp contrasts in the face) with my desire to wear my hair up. When I pull my hair into a bun, all the wavy/structured hair that provides a nice balance with my features is removed and my features end up being washed out (basically I resemble an egg). Even with those buns where there's some strands framing the face, there's not a strong enough effect and still ends up making my features look harsh compared to the more balanced look with hair down.

Does anyone have any suggestions for updos that create the same framed / balancing effect as with long hair?
