The updo hairstyles are always in trend and are preferred by most women for the special occasions. However, you can wear your hair up and attract attention not only as a festive hairstyle, but also in everyday life. In this article you will find many beautiful ideas and a few instructions for loose updos that are suitable for different hair lengths and occasions.
Loose updos instead of strict buns
The strict ballerina bun is no longer in fashion; now women wear their updos more playfully and loosely. The trendy styling is easier to do yourself without taking too much time, which is why it has won the affection of women worldwide. Especially for special occasions such as weddings, proms or New Year's Eve, the hair can be put up into an elegant hairstyle relatively quickly and without much practice.
Simple ideas for everyday life
Lack of time - everyone knows this problem, especially in hectic everyday life. However, if you wear your hair in a loose updo, you can save a lot of time in the morning and still maintain your beautiful look. Easy and quick ideas are casual or knotted buns at the back of the head, which can be made more elegant with one or two simple braids.
Pin up your natural curls
Curly hair is best suited for loose updos, as it looks a little more chaotic and therefore creates a more playful effect. Women with naturally curly hair can create an updo themselves using just a few bobby pins. Women with straight hair, on the other hand, should first curl their hair with a curling iron for this look and only then pin it up.
With additional volume
If you make a chignon on the back of your head yourself, you should definitely create more volume on the top of your head, otherwise the hairstyle won't look perfect. A natural-looking volume is best created with a teasing brush and should be done before the chignon.
For wedding
Many brides choose a loose updo as their wedding hairstyle because it looks elegant and feminine at the same time and is perfect for a summer wedding. For this hairstyle, you should start with curly hair, tease it and style the bangs (if you have bangs) at an angle.
