Quick Updos For Long Hair

1. Side Braid

There’s nothing more timeless and classic than a side braid. It will give your mane an incredible lift and pairbeautifully with either a mermaid silhouette gown or a monochromatic minidress, plus it can help achieve that classic vintage look.

To create this style, twist and wrap your hair into a low bun using bobby pins. Leave some loose pieces around your face for an added romantic touch.

2. Upside Down Braid

If you love French braids but want something different, try this chic upside-down braided updo. It’s effortless yet adds so much personality!

To achieve this style, plait each strand underneath each other instead of crossing over like traditional French braids. Add decorative hairpins and flowers for extra flair.

3. Low Chignon

The low chignon is an elegant and chic updo perfect for special occasions. It can be styled to lean to either side or wrapped into a bow for different looks.

Start with second-day or textured hair and create a low ponytail. Wrap sections around and pin them into place. Finish with a strong-hold hair spray for added shine. Add flowers or embellishments for a romantic touch.

4. Double Bun

Style your braids into an eye-catching double bun updo for any occasion. It’s casual or elegant, making a lasting impression.

Start with a side ponytail and create two just above the elastic. Wrap one ponytail around the other to form a double bun. Finish with a flower for an unforgettable look.

5. Braided Updo

Try this style for a braided updo that exudes glamour and is red carpet ready. It works well with long or medium-length hair.

Start by creating a side braid and tuck it into place. Pull one of your back braids towards the front to create a braided halo around your updo. Use strong-hold finishing hairspray to keep the style intact. Add flower hair accessories for a classic formal event look.
