4 speedy holiday updos

 
 
Updos are the perf solution: they keep your hair out of your face and look super pretty. Here are our fave speedy styles for any special occasion.  
 
The style: Messy bun
Perf for: Curly or wavy hair
Sometimes a messy look can still be totally chic.  Gather hair into a pony at nape of your neck, on the side.  Let a couple loose strands fall into your face.  Twist into a bun, and set with bobby pins. Hit it with hairspray to finish it off.
 
The style: The Grecian
Perf for: Curly hair
For curly girls, the goddess look is a perfect hairstyle to tame ringlets.  Work in a curl-defining cream, then pull a one-inch section on either side of your face (above ears) to meet in the back of your head. Secure with a pretty barrette or bobby pins. Use a soft-hold hairspray that will keep curls in place, but still leaves them loose and shiny.  Straight-haired chicas can try this style with two braided sections.
 
The style: Looped Pony
Perf for: Straight or wavy hair
Pull all hair back into a ponytail at about the middle of your head. Secure with an elastic that matches your hair color. Create an opening right before the elastic band, loosening up your hair a bit. Loop the ponytail through the hole, which will create a twisted effect on either side. Pull hair to tighten for a super shiny style that keeps your strands out of the way.  
 
The style: The Frenchie
Perf for: Medium to long straight hair
Channel Audrey Hepburn by sporting an elegant French twist. Part straight hair on the side and slick it back with a small amount of gel.  Gather hair into a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Start twisting the ponytail upwards until it forms a tight right. Lift the “rope” up and tuck ends into the fold that’s created, and use bobby pins to hold it in place. Finish it off with a strong hold hairspray.

MOD MOD MOD ok so everytime i wear makeup...by the end of the day it's like not there anymore how do i make it stay?! also my friend is always trying to be really popular and she would in an instance choose to go sit by the popular girls over me...she's my best friend...what should i do?!




Hey chica! Well many times make up will ware off, so you should keep some blush or concealer with you to touch it up. As far as your friend... she doesn't seem like a very good friend to me if she keeps leaving you to hang out with other people. Maybe you should talk to her about it or start hanging out with other girls.

Okay, I like this article, and I'd like to do the messy bun with my hair, but last time I got my hair cut the stylist did these weird layers, so now part of my hair is down the my neck and the top layer is about 2 inches long. Any Suggestions?




Hey girlie, if you are still trying to do the messy bun with your new hair, try using bobby pins to secure the shorter layers.
