Itzy Yuna’s braided hairstyle keeps hair off sticky necks and works for second-day hair

Three days into Milan Fashion Week, our feeds are buzzing with street style highlights and front-row inspiration. While runway trends like sharp tailoring and pastel sherbet shades are tempting to bookmark, it’s the season’s hair moments that are truly turning heads, pun fully intended. Take, for example, the simple yet striking braided ponytail spotted on Itzy’s Yuna at FENDI’s Women’s and Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 show. The minimalistic hairstyle kept her hair neatly out of her face while drawing attention to her embellished dress.

As seen on K-pop stars Yuna and Blackpink’s Rosé, this braided ponytail is versatile enough for any occasion—formal or casual.

It’s especially handy on hot, balmy afternoons when you want to keep hair off your face and neck, and it also works beautifully for disguising second-day hair. Begin by smoothing your hair back with a product like the LÚCIDO-l Hair Styling Stick ($9.80) to add grip and tame flyaways, then braid your ponytail for a sleek, polished finish.

Next, secure your plaited ponytail with a hair tie, then add a coat of hair oil—such as the Eversoft Leave-On Treatment Argan Oil ($11.90)—to boost shine and vibrancy.

And that’s it! A heatless, hot-weather-friendly hairstyle that’s a stylish upgrade from the usual messy ponytail or bun. All you need are some hair products, hair ties, and a brush to nail this effortlessly chic look.
