14. Twisted Half-Updo
If you still want some hair down but need it off your face and neck, this is it! Grab sections from the front, twist them back, and pin them together. It looks pretty and keeps you cooler than a full down style. It works well on straight or wavy hair. Add a cute clip where you pin the twists for extra style.
13. High Ponytail Wrap
Elevate a basic ponytail by wrapping a strand of hair around the elastic. Put your hair in a high ponytail first. Then, take a small section from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie. Secure the end with a bobby pin. It looks super sleek and put-together. Use a smoothing serum on the section you wrap.
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.
