Mastering Easy Spring Updos for Busy Days
Spring is here, and so is the need for quick yet stylish hairstyles! Perfect for busy days, these easy updos will keep you looking fresh without the fuss.
The ritual, step by step
- The Messy Bun Gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it loosely. Wrap the twisted hair around the base of the ponytail, securing it with hairpins or a hair tie for a relaxed, stylish finish.
- Twisted Half-Updo Take two sections of hair from the front, twist them back, and pin them at the back of your head. The rest of your hair can be left loose for a casual yet chic look.
- Braided Bun Braid a section of hair at the nape and tie it off. Gather the rest of your hair into a bun and wrap the braid around it, securing with pins for a sophisticated touch.
- Pineapple Updo Gather your curls at the top of your head, securing them loosely with a scrunchie. This style keeps curls defined while looking effortlessly put together.
Where people go wrong
Common mistakes include making the updo too tight, which can lead to discomfort, or skipping the use of hairpins, resulting in a style that falls apart. Also, not allowing for some texture or volume can make the updo look flat.
