Easy Up do Hairstyles
 Whether you need to get hair out of your way quickly or it’s too hot
to have it around your neck, a quick up do is definitely the solution. A
quick up do will also solve any bad hair days. Unlike popular thought,
updos do not need elaborate and time-consuming techniques to put in
place. In fact, the most beautiful updos are the simplest ones. Although, they may look as though they took hours to make, most updos do
not take as much as 5 minutes. They are excellent when hair needs to be
done rapidly or when leaving for work. Quick updos save time and are
presentable enough. Here are some nice styles you might consider.
Classic This is a quite popular and easy one. Grab the hair into a
ponytail, twisting it and bringing it towards the top of the head.
Secure with a pin. Leave the ends out for a casual, modern look (if you
secure the ends, you might look uptight, if not severe). The
Ponytail This is arguably the preferred hairstyle of men. So you
better pay attention, ladies! The great advantage of ponytails is that
you can radically change the outlook of your face by simply shifting the
position of the ponytail. Ponytails fit anywhere: top of the head,
middle or nearer to the neck. They can also differ in appearance
depending on whether the hair is straight or curly. Good variants are
the “Faux Hawk Pony” (ponytail below the crown of the head) and the
“Jeannie Pony” (high ponytail, above or at the crown). Laid Back
Braids
 This is a great one for the summer. Start by making waves
by using spray gel on freshly washed hair (not needed if your hair is
naturally wavy). Tie the hair into two or more buns (depending on your
hair length). You have to do this the night before. In the morning,
release the buns and part the hair. Weave braids of up to 1 inch wide
using wax on each side of the head. Secure with an elastic band. Pull
all remaining hair into a ponytail well below the crown. Form a bun.
Attach each braid to the bun with pins, safely concealed. Faux Up
do If your hair is too short for a traditional up do, this one
will let you off the hook. Try to obtain greater volume from your hair
by using a mousse after having washed your hair. Comb in the mousse for
more uniform results. Brush the hair back with your fingers. Blow dry as
you continue to brush them back. Set the hair with the appropriate
hairspray. French Twist This one is good for medium to long
hair. Comb the hair back and hold it as a low ponytail three inches from
the ends. Twist the ponytail to the right until it is tight. Keep
holding with left hand. With the right hands, fold the ends down towards
the nape under the twist. Place bobby pins. Finish with a spray.
