Easy Updos

As the mercury is rising, it is very uncomfortable to have hair sticking to your neck, so it is best not to wear your hair down. To feel fresh and to look chic, it is a good idea to go for easy updos. These updos should be simple and you should be able to style them within a short time. A hairdo that takes a lot of time and effort to style is not what you are looking for when you have to rush to work.

Updos for Long Hair
First wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo and then use a good conditioner. Let your hair air dry naturally and then brush back your hair with a paddle brush. Pull your hair into two low ponytails and secure them with elastic bands. Take half an inch section of hair from the ponytail, and curl it with the help of a curling iron. Make sure that you use the narrow barreled curling iron attachment to get tight spiral curls. Repeat this procedure until all hair in both the ponytails are completely curled. Now let the curls cool down a bit and take each section of curl in your hand and pin it at the base of the ponytail. Pin each curl in such a way that the elastic band of the ponytail is completely concealed. Now backcomb the crown area so that you create a little volume at the top. Apply a spritz of hair spray so that the hairstyle is set.

Updos for Mid length Hair
While talking about easy updos for shoulder length hair, the best one that comes to mind is the twist. It does not take more than five minutes to style and the best part is that it can look both casual as well as formal. As your hair is twisted and then held together with a grip or a barrette, you need hair that is not immediately washed. This is because freshly washed hair tends to be more silky and is therefore difficult to style. To create this easy updo, brush your hair with a wide toothed comb so that there are no kinks and tangles. Brush back your hair towards the center of your head and gather it to form a ponytail. Now twist all your hair either to your left or your right and secure your hair either with a grip or with bobby pins. Make sure that the grip or bobby pins are secured in such a way that they are hidden from view. Tuck any stray hair sticking out of the twist, back into the fold so that you have a sleek and neat appearance. Apply some hair spray and your easy updo is ready.

Updos for Curly Hair
It is a popular myth that curly hair is difficult to style. But with the right styling products and a great hairstyle, you can create an easy updo for curly hair too. First, wash your hair with a curl controlling shampoo and let it dry naturally. Use a wide toothed comb to smooth out the hair and gather the hair into a high ponytail that sits on top of your crown. Now fold the ponytail upwards and form a small loop. Use bobby pins to pin the loop at the top of your head and then flatten it gently with your fingers. Apply a bit of styling serum to hold the hairstyle in place.

This was all about updos for hair that you can try at home. After some practice, you can style your hair quickly without much effort for any event.
