Why this worksUpdos are a great way to keep hair off your neck, especially in warmer temperatures. They can also create a polished look that elevates your style. By securing hair in an updo, you reduce the risk of frizz and tangles, which can be a challenge in humid conditions.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a lightweight styling mousse for added volume and hold. This will give your updo structure and make it easier to work with.
  2. Create a Base Gather your hair into a loose ponytail at the desired height. Secure it with a hair tie, leaving some sections loose for a softer look. This base will help form the updo without feeling too tight.
  3. Twist and Pin Twist the ponytail into a bun shape, wrapping it around the base. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place. Make sure to tuck in any loose strands for a polished finish.
  4. Finish with Hairspray Lightly mist your updo with a flexible hold hairspray. This will keep everything in place without making it stiff. You can also gently pull on some face-framing pieces for a softer, more relaxed vibe.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include making the ponytail too tight, which can cause discomfort and create a stiff look. Skipping the prep step can lead to a messy finish. Also, be careful not to overuse hairspray, as it can weigh down your hair.

The pro moveFor added flair, consider incorporating a hair accessory like a decorative clip or ribbon to elevate your updo further.
