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.
3. High Bun with Bangs
If you have bangs, a high bun looks fantastic. Pull your hair into a high bun, letting your bangs frame your face. It keeps your hair off your neck while showcasing your bangs. This style looks great on heart-shaped faces. Style your bangs first before doing the bun.
2. The Sleek High Bun
For a super clean look, go for a sleek high bun. Brush your hair back tightly into a high ponytail, smooth down any bumps, and twist the ponytail into a neat bun. Secure with pins. It’s very sophisticated and keeps you cool. Use gel or pomade for a super smooth finish.
1. The Twisted Low Bun
This is my top pick for a chic and easy summer updo! Instead of just twisting a ponytail, I twist the hair first before wrapping it into a low bun. It gives the bun a lovely, textured look that feels effortless but still put-together. It’s universally flattering and works for almost any occasion. Just twist sections loosely before forming the bun for that perfect, undone vibe.
