4 Easy Updos For Any Occasion

With so many events and occasions that call for updos, it's helpful to have a few options in your repertoire. Here are four easy updos that are perfect for any occasion, whether you're headed to a formal event or just want to add a little extra flair to your everyday look.

The Topknot

This updo is as easy as it gets - just pull your hair back into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic. Then, twist your hair around itself until it forms a bun, and secure with bobby pins. If you like, you can leave a few face-framing pieces out for a softer look.

The Messy Bun

The messy bun is perfect for when you want to look put-together but don't want to spend a lot of time on your hair. Start by spraying your hair with texturizing spray, then gather it into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Twist your hair around itself and secure with bobby pins, then tug at individual pieces to loosen them up and create a more messy, effortless look.

The Braided Updo

This updo is a little more intricate, but still relatively easy to do. Start by French braiding your hair along your hairline, then gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail. Take the braid and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, then secure with bobby pins. You can leave a few face-framing pieces out, or tuck them behind your ears for a more polished look.

The Twisty Ponytail

This is a great updo for second-day hair. Start by spraying your hair with dry shampoo to refresh it and add texture. Then, gather your hair into a low ponytail and twist it around itself until it forms a rope-like spiral. Secure with an elastic, then tug at individual pieces to loosen them up and create a more messy, effortless look.

These are just four easy updos that are perfect for any occasion. With a little practice, you'll be able to do them in no time!
