A simple braid chignon
If you want to emphasize your femininity with a simple yet effective hairstyle, you can wear your hair romantically braided. ClassicBraided hairstylescan be pinned up and transformed into an enchanting party hairstyle.
To prepare your hair, you should first spray it with a heat protectant spray. Then blow-dry using a hairbrush and then lightly tease the roots. If you want to style the hairstyle with the strands out, you should curl the front sections of the hair with a thick curling iron at this point. This is how a frame is created for the face. Now bring all the hair a little to one side and braid a simple braid without tying it. Then take the three strands in one hand and hold the middle one with the other hand. While holding the middle strand, push the rest of the braid towards the head. This is how you can create a full, braided hair bun. Then pin the remaining strand of hair at the nape of your neck and secure it with hair clips. Finally, clip any protruding highlights and the look is finished.
Twisted bun
Updos don't always have to take a lot of time. There are also styles like this that you can imitate relatively quickly. An example of this is this twisted bun. To do this, first tease your hair lightly and spray it with hairspray. Then separate it into two parts at the neck and tie them in a knot. Now turn the left part to the right and secure it with hairpins and the right part to the left. Use as many hair clips as necessary to secure the bun as well as possible. You can also do this updo at the momenttrending Sleek-LookWear it by styling the hair on the top of your head with hair gel.
Wedding updos
Updos are considered a classic bridal hairstyle and always beautifully showcase the wedding dress. What makes an up-do bridal hairstyle stand out is the hair accessories. Glittering hair combs and elegant fascinators are ideal for a wedding in autumn and winter, although different flowers are often used for weddings in spring and summer. They can be either artificial or real and give the entire look a particularly fresh, natural touch.

The hair is put into the hair band and secured with the hairpins. The finished hairstyle can be spiced up with any accessory and offers an easy option for a wedding updo that you can also do yourself.
Style your hair half-open
If you want to combine the elegance of pinned up hair with romantic, gently falling curls, then you can opt for a half-open updo. This looks pinned up on the top of the head, but runs in delicate curls instead of a bun. A half-up hairstyle is best for long hair, but can also be styled with a medium length.
Der Faux Bob
The so-called is ideal for women with long hairFake Bobas a half-open updo for special occasions. The hair is not completely pinned, but rather imitates a bob hairstyle. They are therefore only half open because the larger part of the hair is pinned. Although this hairstyle looks simple, you usually can't achieve a perfect look yourself because it mainly works on the neck. That's why we recommend a visit to the hairdresser if you've decided on the faux bob.
Updos half-up or pinned for natural curls
For women who naturally have pretty curls, we offer an updo version that can be worn either half-up or pinned. To do this you need three thin hair ties (preferably in the same color as the hair) and hairpins. Tie a total of three ponytails at the back of the head at three different heights, one below the other. Then you should flip each ponytail over by making a hole at the base and pulling the hair inwards. After you're done, hide each ponytail under the following one, with the last one tucked under itself. If you want to wear the updo half-down, simply leave the last ponytail untucked. Secure with hairpins where necessary and you're done.
If you think that short hair is unsuitable for updos, you are wrong. Bob hairstyles can also be tied with the right hair accessories and transformed into an elegant hairstyle. The procedure is a little more complicated than with long hair, but with a little practice the updo will definitely work. To style this look, prepare the hair by teasing the roots and parting. Then take one strand from each side, twist it and tie it together with a hair clip. Repeat this step until only a little hair remains on the neck. Tie the remaining strand into a small bun with hairpins so that no hair remains on the neck. This hairstyle looks really nice with side bangs.
