21 Best Messy Boho Updos

Every summer, I find myself reaching for my go-to look—messy boho updos that feel effortless but still totally cute. Last year at my best friend’s beach wedding, I tried one of the best messy boho updos I had seen on Pinterest and got so many compliments that I literally felt like a bridesmaid even though I wasn’t.

If your hair always falling down or you feel bored of sleek styles, these messy boho updos are a refreshing change. They’re not just styles, they’re like a vibe that says you’re chill but still stylish.

The thing I love most about messy boho updos is they don’t need to be perfect. In fact, the more pieces falling out, the better it looks! This hairstyle works amazing for long hair, medium hair or even shoulder-length hair if you do it right.
