8 Updos for short hair from effortless messy buns to sleek braided looks

PINNED UP SHORT HAIR 'DO

This style is more organized than a sloppy updo and requires bobby pins. If you know how to curl hair with a curling iron, shape it into tight ringlets and fold and pin the top, middle, and bottom parts.

CURLY QUIFF

This style becomes more intricate and visually appealing when coupled with the backcombed part in the front. Best silk hair wraps protect your meticulously braided hair.

MESSY TEXTURED TWIST

Sometimes mess is great! In this updo, wavy or curly hair is ruffled (try the finest dry shampoo for added grit) and pinned into place, leaving lots of tendrils free for undone appeal.

FOLD AND ROLL SHORT UPDO STYLE

This seems like long hair put into a difficult style, but it's easy to duplicate. Pin tiny to medium portions into the scalp, then fold and tuck to cover pins.

TWIST-FRONT NATURAL 'DO

With textured hair, you may simply showcase your curls in an updo. Choose a high bun or twist to let your curls flow over your head for volume, or twist the front area.

FRENCH PLAITS

Fun, charming, and simple to make. Center separate your hair with a tail comb for a razor-sharp parting, then French plait in two pieces and fasten with elastics.

HALO BRAID

Both lobs and bobs may benefit from a halo braid. In order to prevent hair loss, style lengthier bobs that may have trouble staying in place by applying a blow-dry primer to the hair

STACKED BUNS ON SHORT HAIR

Divide the hair into two halves, twist each into a bun, and draw into clear bands. Shorter pieces are less likely to fall out as the evening wears on thanks to the double bun effect.
