From messy buns to chic chignons
The messy bun is the undisputed queen of easy updos. It’s the perfect blend of relaxed and stylish. The key to a great messy bun is not to overthink it. Gather your hair into a high ponytail, but on the last pull-through, only pull the hair partway to create a loop. Pin the loose ends around the base, and gently pull at the bun to create volume and texture. It is one of those quick 5 minute hairstyles that always looks good.
For something a bit more polished, the low chignon is an excellent choice. This style rests at the nape of your neck and exudes sophistication. Start with a low ponytail and twist it until it coils into a bun. Secure it firmly with bobby pins. For a softer look, leave a few strands out around your face. This is an incredibly versatile updo that works for almost any setting and is surprisingly simple to create. It is one of the best easy hairstyles for long hair, but it can be adapted for medium lengths too.
Accessorizing your easy updos
The right accessory can instantly elevate any simple updo. You can transform a basic bun or twist into a statement look with just a small addition. Think beyond the simple bobby pin and explore the possibilities. A simple accessory can tie your whole outfit together.
- Headbands: A simple headband can push back flyaways and add a touch of elegance or fun, depending on the style.
- Silk Scarves: Tie a colorful scarf around the base of your bun or use it as a headband for a pop of color and a bohemian vibe.
- Decorative Clips and Pins: A pearl-adorned pin or a metallic clip can add a touch of glamour to a simple chignon or French twist.
