Easy Updos for Long Hair
The best thing about long hair is that you can style it in various ways, the bad thing about them is that they are difficult to manage and maintain. So, here are 7 easy updo solutions that will help to manage your tresses.
- Comb your hair back, and tie a high ponytail.
- Then divide the ponytail into two equal sections. You can create more sections for a more intricate-looking top knot if you have the time.
- Then at the base of the ponytail start wrapping the hair sections one-by-one.
- Once you are done wrapping all the hair, secure the style with hairpins.
- Comb your hair and tie a ponytail. You can place the ponytail at the crown or at the nape of the neck, depending on where you want the bun to be.
- Comb the ponytail hair.
- Take a sock and cut out the toe end of it, and roll the sock inside till it shapes like a donut.
- Hold the ponytail up, and slide the donut-shaped sock inside the pony, say about 4 inches from top.
- Now roll the hair ends inside the sock. This way keep rolling the sock near the base of the ponytail, while simultaneously tucking the hair inside the sock.
- Once you reach the ponytail base, secure the bun with hairpins. Voila! Your big bun is ready.
- Curl you hair with a curling iron or using a sea salt spray.
- Then comb the hair with your fingers.
- Side part the hair, and create a bump style in the front.
- To create a bump simply lift the front section of hair and back comb it, and then pin it down with a headband.
- Then lift the rest of the hair and position it over one shoulder.
- Comb your hair back with a wide-tooth comb.
- Then gather it all at the top of your head.
- Tie it in a messy bun.
- Make sure you let many tendrils of your hair out to create the messy look.
- Secure the bun at the base with hairpins.
- Now, take a piece of thin lace and wrap it around the bun as shown in the picture on right side.
- If you don't have a thin lace then you can place two to three thin headbands too.
- Apply serum to the hair and comb it back.
- Then gather it together and tie a loose ponytail. However, end with the hair halfway through the rubber band, and leave a small tail behind.
- Now, split the hair which was halfway through the ponytail into equal halves and pin them down.
- Take the small tail and wrap it around the middle, and secure it with pins.
- Pin curl your hair. For this you will need to roll a section of hair around your finger, then take it off the finger, and pin it down flat on the head. This way, work with the rest of the hair.
- Dry the hair with a blow dryer and then carefully take off the pins, and you will have beautiful pin curls.
- Side part your hair and keep few sections on the sides and gather the rest near the nape of the neck.
- Pull the hair in a ponytail halfway through and secure the style at the base of the ponytail with pins.
- Comb all your hair back. Now, divide it in three sections.
- Take a small section of the hair behind the right ear and keep it away.
- Then gather all the hair back and divide it into halves. The top-half should be styled into a bump in front of the head. Take this hair section and hold it up. Back comb the section behind this chunk of hair and apply a volumizing spray.
- Now, combine this section with the back section and tie it a simple high bun. Secure it with pins.
- Take the hair section behind the ear and create a simple English braid with it.
- Now, wrap the braid on the crown and secure it at the back of the left ear with pins.
