bangin’ updo
This sweet, upswept style is all about the bangs! Keep the focus up front by sweeping your hair off of your face and pinning it up in back. Use a small curling iron to shape your bangs. The trick is to draw his attention to your sexy eyes and beautiful face.

cascading curls
Prepare for a night of glitz and glam by fashioning a partial upsweep with varying lengths curled to perfection. Part hair at one side, gather tresses at the crown and tie hair back with a covered elastic band. Take a large-barrel curling iron to the rest of your hair and form loose spirals. Finish with a touch of hairspray.

braided crown
Try something daring and add unique texture to your updo. First, you want to create a chic chignon in back. Next, take human hair extensions and braid them before attaching them to your mane. Wrap the braid around the bun and secure it with bobby pins at the bottom so the pins are hidden from view.

classic upsweep
Whether you’re attending a wedding or a dinner party, this classic updo is always a great style choice. After smoothing hair with a flat iron, gather locks and sweep them to one side. Twist hair into a bun and secure with hair pins. A little mist of hairspray contains little flyaways.

fun and fresh
For a night out on the town, catch his eye with this fabulously crafted urban style. Gather tresses and pin them up in the back. Let a few strands hang down to frame your face. Create sleek, straight lines by flat-ironing your bags and the face-framing locks. Use a teasing comb to boost volume all around the crown.

I need help at my job i have to have my hair up and my hair is long but i have no clue what to do with it other than put it up in a pony tail and i really don’t like that please help me.
Hi, Danielle!
Have you ever tried to wear a chic chignon? A simple bun glams up the ponytail look. Or perhaps you could try the wrap-around ponytail! When you’re putting your hair up, leave a small section loose. Take that bit of hair and wrap it around your ponytail. Secure with a bobby pin and you’ve got a hip new style!
these styles r very….uhhhh….modern! i lil’ too modern. can need a classic twist on them!
