Updo Hairstyles for Long Hair

Easy Long Hair Updos for Straight Hair

For people having naturally straight hair these updos will be quicker to create. For people with wavy hair, use a straightening iron to get straight hair. Make sure you use the hot iron with care, to prevent any burns. For easy casual updos for long hair, tie your hair in a bun and take out some strands from sides to give an unkempt and messy look. Use a thin hair band which matches your hair color, to secure the bun. For a formal party, the quickest are updos created with straight hair like a French bun or chignon.

If you are going for a prom, then consider a bit more complicated long hairstyle of a bun, instead of the French bun. Comb all your hair back, then tie a high pony and divide the pony in four sections, and wrap these four sections one by one to form a bun for a sophisticated look. You can also try this hairstyle idea. Make a puff with the front section of your hair and secure it with pins. Then form a bun at the back with the rest of your hair, or make a pony tail. You can wear this style while going to office.

Easy Updos for Long Curly Hair & Wavy Hair

These cute easy updos give a romantic and messy look. If you have straight hair and want to try updos for curly hair, then use a sea salt spray to get waves in your hair. As all hair have some natural waves in them, the sea salt spray helps to enhance these waves. To get a beach wavy-hair look in your straight hair, plait four sections of your hair and spray the sea salt spray and wait till the hair dries. After the hair dries out, loosen up the plaits and comb the new wavy hair with your fingertips.

For people with wavy hair, there isn't much to do as the natural hair itself will give a great look. You can either comb your hair, and secure a bun at the back of your head. To give a softer appearance leave some bangs and side strands loose. You can also try side parting your hair, forming two braids at the side and securing the braid hair with the back bun. Another simpler way is to take half of your hair from the above section and tie this hair in a bun, and leave the rest of the hair open, this style makes for a good wedding hairstyle.

Roll the ponytails or pigtails on the sides, and use some hairspray on the buns to secure them better.
