In times when everything feels overwhelming, simple elegance has a way of making a comeback. That’s exactly what demure hairstyles are all about—a modest, classy, and sophisticated look that doesn’t make it seem like you’ve tried too hard. We’ll never get tired of these feminine styles, so here’s some inspiration for you to try!
1. Classic Ponytail
A classic ponytail is the best way to kick off our list of demure hairstyles. It’s simple and basic, yet can also be glamorous and seductive, making it versatile enough to wear from casual daytime looks to fancy nights out. Is there anyone who doesn’t love this timeless style?
2. Sleek Low Bun
A sleek low bun offers a classy, polished look that’s perfect for occasions when you want to feel as elegant as possible, without letting your hairstyle overpower your entire look.
3. Sleek Braided Ponytail
Here’s another demure style that works for both casual days and special evenings—a sleek braided ponytail, which is especially charming on long hair.
4. Messy Side Braid
Looking for a style that’s romantic, soft, a bit messy, and also sophisticated and chic all at once? We’ve got your dreamy demure hairstyle: an effortless side braid that will give you princess vibes!
5. Bubble Braid
A bubble braid ponytail is another awesome combination of effortless and elegant. You can wear it polished, messy, high, low, or however you like. One thing is for sure here: it will look fabulous no matter which version you choose!
6. Neat High Bun
Want a clean look with all your hair pulled back, allowing you to show your makeup and enjoy your night without worrying about your hair losing its shape? This neat high bun is the ideal option to achieve all that!
7. Half Updo
A half updo is another favorite that’s here to stay. It’s softer than a traditional, sleek updo, yet more romantic and special than wearing your hair completely down. Great as an everyday look for work, but also a stunning option for a bridesmaid or wedding guest hairstyle.
8. Textured Low Bun

10. Boho Half Updo With A Fluffy Pull-Through Braid
A boho half updo is more romantic and relaxed, but still brings out elegance while allowing you to show your beautiful hair. Style it with a fluffy pull-through braid, and everyone will be admiring your look once they see the final result.
11. Short Style With Cute Hair Pins
Not feeling inspired to style your short hair into a bun, ponytail, or braid? You don’t have to, as there’s another, quick and easy way to make your short hair look demure and chic. Just grab some cute hairpins and style one side of your hair. Simple, but so pretty!
12. Sleek High Ponytail

Want to wear a basic braided ponytail but make it a little less ordinary? Add some pretty golden hair ornaments, and that’s all it takes to transform your simple braid into a gorgeous hairstyle.
15. Large Soft Waves
Just like classic updos, large soft waves are another elegant style that will never go out of fashion. Very demure, very mindful indeed.

Why only have one bun when you can have two? This style shows that you can play with your hair and keep it fun, while still maintaining a touch of class.

When it comes to classic hair updos, no list would be complete without the high bun. It’s timeless, both retro and modern, and looks fantastic on women of all ages.
18. Low Curly Bun With A Scrunchie
It takes so little effort to make your curly hair look cute, demure, and charming. All you need is a large scrunchie to pull your curls back and, of course, look adorable!
19. Ponytail With A Bow
A black bow will instantly make your ponytail look fancier, making it perfect for a special night when you want to look especially lovely.
