12. Messy Top Knot
My absolute favorite for a casual summer day! Flip your head over, gather your hair on top, and twist it into a messy bun. Secure with an elastic and pins. It’s meant to be imperfect, which is the beauty of it. This works great for second or third-day hair. Don’t overthink it; the messier, the better!
11. Braided Crown
Feeling a bit romantic? A braided crown is lovely. Braid a section of hair on one side, bring it across your head like a headband, and pin it. Repeat on the other side. It feels secure and looks beautiful. It’s a great style for fine to medium hair. Use texturizing spray before braiding for grip.
10. Double Bun Fun
This playful look is great for a fun summer vibe. Part your hair down the middle and create two high pigtails. Twist each pigtail into a bun and secure. You can make them neat or messy. It’s perfect for a festival or just a casual day out. Add glitter spray for extra fun!
9. French Twist Classic
For something elegant, the French twist is timeless. Gather your hair to one side, then twist it upwards and inwards, pinning as you go. It’s a bit tricky at first but worth it. This is perfect for a summer wedding or nice dinner. Use a good amount of bobby pins to keep it secure.
8. Bubble Ponytail Updo
This is a modern take on a regular ponytail. Put your hair in a ponytail, then add elastics down the length, creating “bubbles” by gently pulling sections out. It’s a fun, trendy look that works on straight or wavy hair. You can make the bubbles as big or small as you like.
7. Pin-Up Victory Rolls
Want to add some vintage flair? Victory rolls are so stylish. Section off hair at the front, roll it inwards towards your head, and pin. It takes a little practice but looks amazing. This style adds personality to any outfit. Use setting spray to help shape the rolls.
6. Side Swept Updo
Sweep your hair to one side and create a bun or twist at the nape of your neck on that side. It creates an asymmetrical look that’s very chic. It flatters most face shapes by drawing the eye sideways. Curl the ends before sweeping for added texture.
5. The Knotted Ponytail
This adds a cool detail to a simple ponytail. Tie your hair in a low ponytail. Take two strands from the ponytail and tie them in a knot. Repeat down the length. It’s a unique texture that looks intricate but is easy. It works best on medium to thick hair. Secure each knot with a tiny elastic if needed.
4. Braided Low Bun
Combine a braid with a low bun for extra elegance. Braid your ponytail before twisting it into a bun. It gives the bun a beautiful texture and feels very secure. This is great for occasions where you want something a bit more polished. Try a fishtail braid for a different look.
