Why this worksUpdos are a great way to keep your hair off your face during warmer months while still looking chic. They can add volume and texture, making your hair look more stylish with minimal effort. Plus, they're versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions, letting you express your personal style.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with Clean, Dry Hair Begin with freshly washed and dried hair. This ensures your updo will hold better and look more polished. If your hair is a bit flat, a light mousse can add some volume.
  2. Create a Loose Twist Gather your hair into a low ponytail and divide it into two sections. Twist the sections loosely around each other, securing with a hair tie. This is the base of your updo.
  3. Pin and Tuck Take the twisted ponytail and wrap it around the base, tucking the ends underneath. Use bobby pins to secure it in place. Don’t worry about being too neat—messy is the vibe!
  4. Add Finishing Touches Pull out a few face-framing strands for a relaxed look. You can also spritz with a light hairspray for extra hold. For added flair, consider incorporating a decorative hairpin.

Where people go wrong

Many people rush the twisting process, leading to a less secure updo. Others forget to secure the base properly, resulting in a droopy look. Always remember to use enough bobby pins and don’t stress about perfection—messy can be beautiful!

The pro moveFor more texture, try a texturising spray before starting your updo; it adds grip and volume.
