Are you tired of the same-old hairstyle? If you’re looking for a way to switch things up and bring some new life to your look, check out the best updos, buns, and braids for this year. Whether you’re looking for something more casual or dressing up for a special occasion, here are some tips on creating the perfect updo, bun, or braid.
The Low Knot Bun
The low knot bun gives vibes reminiscent of traditional yet modern 1950s fashion. You can use a small elastic headband to secure this messy-chic look and make it appear effortless. It’s best suited for straight or wavy hair, as having extremely curly hair could prevent you from achieving this look.
Voluminous Ponytail
Try out something new with this voluminous ponytail, especially if you plan an upbeat night out. To give your mane more oomph, braid an extra piece of hair with one side of your locks at the crown area. Finish off by loosely crimping the pony with a curling iron and face-framing hairspray to add a luscious texture.
Tousled Updo
A perfect way to switch up your look but still maintain some balance is by opting for a tousled updo! Give strands some texture before styling them into an effortless yet elegant updo. Begin by lightly spraying dry shampoo on each curl or wave and then brush through with your fingers for that effortlessly soft finish, just like a mermaid would have it! Use another spritz of hairspray once you’re done creating the desired result!
Slicked-Back Topknot
This style is super quick, requiring only 5 minutes tops! Try clicking all your strands back tightly into a high ponytail for volume – use an anti-frizz serum if needed and secure it with an elastic band; twist it around until all loose pieces are wrapped up inside before securing again with the bobby pins or clips should they slip off during movement! Finally, create some defining baby bangs using gel to top things off perfectly in time for evening plans!
Dutchess Fishtail Braid
For those who desire something regal yet modern all at once, try out the Duchess Fishtail Braid, which takes this classic princess style slightly higher than usual – quite literally, too, thanks to its crown-like placement atop your head near where temples normally fall! Start weaving back two French braids from the left side over right – tie together one looser fishtail section after tucking ends under until all locks have been securely joined together into this signature updo structure fit for royals such as yourself!
