4 ways to get a gorgeous updo

High or low, once again the hair updo steals the show. However you do it, it goes with whatever you’re wearing. Even the ancient Greek goddesses knew that!

• The updo is a go-to hairstyle that can be worn on any occasion and its many variations always impart a feminine look that hints of seduction and playfulness.
• The updo has been popular for centuries with women all over the world, and it seems that we’re still not tired of it.
• There is definitely something working with the updo!

Disheveled:

• For a bit of mystery and unpredictability, the updo can be styled to be wild and unruly.
• To look like you don’t give a hoot about your natural beauty, create a soft, tousled updo that leaves a few loose strands on the sides.
• If the hair is long enough, the updo can be worn to the side, rather than centred at the back of the head.

High bun:

• For important events, opt for a bun updo, worn high on the top of the head.
• This voluminous type of hair updo lengthens the silhouette and lends a regal bearing to the wearer.
• Both stunning and elegant, it’s perfect with a fitted dress.
• For a well-executed bun updo, leave yourself in the expert hands of a stylist at a salon or blow dry bar.

Formal 'do:

• For a formal look, try the banana updo. Crazily stylish, this hair updo is easy to recognize.
• Twist the hair and tuck the end of the twist back down inside the roll along the back of the head.
• Fix the hair in place with a clip or pretty hairpins that match your outfit.
• Here again, you’d be much better off getting help from a hair stylist who will give you a banana updo that can last all day or evening.

Low 'do:

• Several celebrities have been spotted on the red carpets wearing a low updo, adorned with two lovely braids.
• Beginning at the front, the braids wrap around the head like a crown, meeting at the back of the head, at the base of the updo.
• This type of hairstyle provides more volume on the sides and creates a romantic, ultra-feminine look.
• Braided hair can also be rolled onto itself, for a completely different version of the braided updo.

• A simple updo can be achieved rather easily by using a few accessories and some good styling products, but more sophisticated updos need to be done by professional hairstylists.
• They will ensure that the hairstyle holds up much longer.
• Your stylist should also be able to show you a few tricks to help you replicate the style at home.
