8. The Low Chignon
For understated elegance, I always turn to the low chignon. It’s perfect for formal occasions. Sometimes, I use a hair donut to give it more volume and a perfect shape. It makes the bun look so full and sophisticated.
7. The Fishtail Braid Updo
The fishtail braid updo offers such a unique texture. It has a lovely bohemian charm. To make my fishtail braid appear fuller, I gently pull apart the sections. This technique creates a beautiful, wider braid. It’s visually interesting.
6. The Textured High Bun
This textured high bun is modern and adds great height. It’s perfect when I want a voluminous look. I often use dry shampoo for added texture. It also helps with grip, making the bun hold better. It looks effortlessly cool.
5. The Pinned-Up Curls Updo
If you have natural curls, this updo is for you. The pinned-up curls create a romantic, soft aesthetic. Before pinning, I make sure my curls are well-defined. A good curl cream works wonders. Then, I just pin them loosely for a beautiful effect.
4. The Knotted Updo
The knotted updo is so unique and contemporary. It’s perfect for a chic, minimalist look. I use clear elastics to secure the knots discreetly. This makes the knots look like they are just holding themselves. It’s very stylish.
3. The Bubble Ponytail Updo
This bubble ponytail updo is so playful and trendy. It’s perfect for a fun summer vibe. To create even “bubbles,” I use small, clear hair ties. I space them out evenly along the ponytail. Then I gently pull each section to puff it out. It’s adorable!
