Easy Updos are Hot this Season!

Holiday party invites are in the mail, so now is the perfect time to check out some easy updos to wear to your next holiday event. Here are some of my favorites:

Easy Bun Updos

Get these easy updos with these effortless steps:

1. Smooth all of your hair back into a low ponytail and secure with a hair band.
2. Separate your ponytail into two sections.
3. Twist one section around the hair band and pin the ends under the ponytail.
4. Repeat with the second section, twisting hair the opposite way.

Variations:
You can leave your bangs out and style them instead of pulling hair all the way back.
If you have naturally wavy hair, allow hair to air dry to its naturally wavy state before styling for a different look that is full of texture.

Easy Updos for Short Hair

If you have short hair, you too can have  an easy updo hair style. look this year. Here’s how to get one:

1. Pull as much hair as you can up and back and secure using a hair band or bobby pins. To get extra lift at the crown, backcomb and lightly comb over to smooth.
2. Work with your short hair by using accessories such as headbands, decorative bobby pins or barrettes, to style the front and top of your hair.
3. Use plenty of hairspray to keep your hair style in place.

Variations:
Give your updo hair style a deep side part and secure one side with a sparkly hair pin (one of this season’s hottest hair accessories).

Easy Updos for Long Hair

If you want the look of an updo, but still want to show off your long hair, why not copy an easy updo look like this and wear your hair partially up? Get this look by following these steps:

1. Run a smoothing serum through hair before blow drying with a large round brush.
2. Flat iron hair super straight and sleek.
3. Pull hair from one side in front of the ear all the way to the back of your head.
4. Twist the hair and secure it just below your crown, hiding the ends underneath the rest of your hair.

Variations:
You can also set your hair in large hot rollers instead of flat ironing for extra body and wave.
Pull both sides of hair up, twist and secure with bobby pins. Leave a section from the crown out, lightly backcombing for height, smooth over and mist with a finishing spray.

Take a little time-out and try any of these easy updos or variations beforehand.  It will make it even easier to have a little practice under your belt!
