16. The Half-Up, Half-Down with a Twist
Sometimes you want to keep some length but need the front out of your face. This is where the half-up style comes in. Adding a twist to the sections you pull back gives it a little something extra without being fussy. It keeps the hair away from your eyes but lets the rest hang down. Curling the loose ends can make it feel a bit softer.
15. The Top Knot
The top knot is super trendy and practical, especially if your workplace gets warm. Pulling all your hair into a high bun keeps it completely off your neck. Make sure it’s secure so it doesn’t loosen during your shift. Using a hair donut can help you get a perfectly shaped bun every time.
14. The Space Buns
These are fun and keep your hair totally out of the way! Space buns are great for a more casual or playful work environment. Splitting your hair down the middle and creating two buns keeps everything contained. Secure each bun really well. A little hairspray can help keep everything smooth.
13. The Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks fancy but isn’t as hard as it seems! It keeps your hair nicely contained and has a beautiful, intricate pattern. You just take small sections from the outside and cross them over to the inside. It’s great for keeping longer hair tidy. You can pull the sides a bit for a slightly messier, relaxed look.
12. The Crown Braid
Wearing a braid like a crown around your head is not only elegant but also incredibly secure. It keeps all your hair pulled up and away from your face and neck. Use plenty of bobby pins to make sure the braid stays put. You can leave a few small pieces out around your face if you like that look.
11. The Bubble Ponytail
This is a playful twist on a regular ponytail. You create sections down the length using elastic bands, which gives it a ‘bubble’ effect. It’s secure and looks more interesting than a standard pony. Gently pulling the sides of each ‘bubble’ makes them look fuller and more defined.
10. The Twisted Updo
Creating an updo by twisting sections of hair instead of braiding can look really elegant. It’s a secure way to get your hair up and off your neck. Twist sections and pin them into place to create a lovely pattern. Adding a decorative hair clip can give it a little sparkle.
9. The Side Ponytail with a Braid
Moving your ponytail to the side adds a different look while keeping it practical. Incorporating a braid into the style adds a nice detail. You can braid a section from the front or top before sweeping the rest into a side pony. Curling the end of the ponytail adds a soft touch.
8. The Low Bun with a Side Part
Combining a low bun with a defined side part gives a classic style a sophisticated edge. It looks clean and professional. Use hairspray to keep your part looking sharp all shift. Tucking a piece of hair behind your ear can also keep things tidy.
7. The High Bun with Bangs
If you have bangs, a high bun is a great way to keep the rest of your hair secure while letting your bangs frame your face. Make sure your bangs are styled so they don’t fall into your eyes while you’re working. A light hairspray on your bangs can help them stay in place.
6. The Braided Crown with a Low Bun
For maximum security and elegance, combine a crown braid with a low bun. This style keeps absolutely everything in place. Ensure the braid is tight against your head. This is a look that definitely benefits from a strong-hold hairspray to keep it perfect.
5. The Double French Braids
Creating two French braids down the back of your head is incredibly effective at keeping all your hair neat and contained. It’s a sporty and practical look. Braid tightly from the top down and secure the ends with elastic bands. Tighter braids mean they’re less likely to loosen.
