The Mid-Length Summer Salvation: 15+ Chic Updos to Free Your Neck from the Heat.

14. The Braided Headband Updo

This style feels so romantic and elegant. The braided headband updo is perfect for special events or when I want to feel a little fancy. You can use a simple three-strand braid or even a Dutch braid for the headband. It adds a lovely touch.

13. The Messy Bun with Face-Framing Tendrils

Oh, the messy bun! It’s effortlessly charming. I love how the face-framing tendrils soften my look. It’s my favorite for those relaxed, easy days. To get that perfect messy texture, I gently pull out a few strands around my face. Don’t overthink it!

12. The Twisted Crown Braid

The twisted crown braid looks intricate, but it’s totally doable. It gives such a beautiful bohemian feel. I often use a texturizing spray before braiding. It helps my hair grip better and keeps the twists in place. It’s a real head-turner.

11. The Classic French Twist

You can’t go wrong with a classic French twist. It’s timeless and incredibly elegant. I wear this for formal events or when I want a polished everyday look. To make sure it stays flawless, I secure it with U-pins. They really hold everything in place.

10. The Double Dutch Braids Updo

I love the sporty yet chic look of double Dutch braids. This updo is amazing for active days. After braiding, I gently loosen the braids a bit. This creates a softer, fuller look. It’s comfortable and stylish.

9. The High Ponytail with a Twist Base

This high ponytail has an energetic, modern feel. The twist at the base makes it unique. I wrap a small section of hair around the base of the ponytail. It gives it a more refined and finished look. It’s so simple yet effective.
