Pretty and Simple Hair updos

Do updo’s seem scary to you? They do to most people. If you are not planning on getting an expensive salon appointment, then you have to make them yourself. But how?

 

Doing your own hair can be quite a challenge. However, learning a few simple styles can be a really great thing for you because you can always look good.

 

So, if you want to start off easy, here are a few simple options:

 

Textured and tousled ponytail

 

This elegant but simple updo will give any look that extra edge. You will need to have your hair just a little bit naturally oily which will help you achieve that messy vibe. You will also need to be careful with the teasing comb and avoid awkward bumps.

 

Ponytail Faux Hawk

 

This is an edgy look that is perfect to pair with any outfit. It’s easy to make, although you will need some rubber bands.

 

Simple bun

 

This is an elegant bun that will be perfect for just about any occasion. You will need plenty of bobby pins for this one, but it will pay off.

 

Milkmaid braids

 

This look is slightly daring because you might end up looking like, well, too much of a milkmaid. It’s easier to pull off when you have longer hair and you will need elastics that will match your hair color. You can also make it a little messy and avoid the milkmaid look completely.

 

Hair roll

 

This is essentially a chignon which looks great for any occasion. It’s easy to make but you should make sure that you are making it in accordance to your own hair personality.

 

Relaxed Braid

 

This braid is super simple and super easy to make. Sweep your hair backwards, tease a little bit near the crown of your head and then make a french braid.

French Twist – Comb your hair and gather it at the center of your head. Then twist it inward and pin your bun. You can leave some loose strands out too to add more chic to your look.

Puffy ponytail – Comb your hair, then put on some hairspray to add some structure and part your hair on one side. Back-comb your hair and then pin it in the center. This will create a half ponytail. Curl the ends of your hair and then tie the ponytail in place. Tug hair just a bit to make it even puffier

Messy bun – Start tying your hair into the ponytail and then pull the hair only halfway through on the last twist. Wrap the ends under the base of bun and pin with bobby pins.
