Stylish Updos

Updos don't have be so fussy and formal all the time. In fact, the most modern ones are messy and unstructured.

For a casual night out, sweep locks back, twist the tail around a few times, then secure with pins at the crown. Bangs dip forward while a sexy spray of hair escapes through the top.

Ponytails and updos have recently taken a side route.
It's all part of the '80s fashion revival, but the looks are far less starchy and sprayed than they were back then.

Set locks on hot rollers, pull into a high side ponytail with an elastic, then pin around the base and spray.

Ponytails are supposed to be fun, so don't worry if every strand's not in place.

Pull locks up to the top of your crown and wrap with a coated elastic, then use a large curling iron to add some big bends through the back.

Long, loose tendrils escaping up front adds a sexy finish.

Buns and chignons positioned low at the back of the crown are the most modern way to wear your hair back, and they couldn't be easier to do.

Just sweep hair back, wrap it around in a circle and secure with an elastic or bobby pins.
