Fabulous Updos For Short Hair

The updo is definitely a popular style for both formal as well as casual events. Creating a fabulous hairstyle that looks good regardless of the situation is fun and stylish. Updos are the perfect solution for any hair length, making it possible to get that red carpet look quickly and easily. Some of the most popular updos come straight from celebrity stylists, and recreating these looks for yourself can be a great way to make heads turn.

Updo hairstyles are trendy for any time of year and any social or work situation. A well coiffed updo frees your neck and looks alluring with little effort. Unfortunately, some ladies with shorter hair often feel the updo is not feasible for them. However, there are some very easy things you can do to get that clean, swept up look. Updo looks are popular for proms and weddings and can be achieved with even the shortest of hair. If you do not have the hair length required for a traditional updo, try these basic tips.

One updo hairstyle that is appropriate for women with short hair is the swept-up look. To make the most of this style, start with damp hair and apply a good quality volume-enhancing mousse evenly throughout your hair, paying special attention to the roots. After application of the mousse, use a blow dryer and a brush to blow the hair up and away from your face and neck. Keep blowing and brushing in this upward motion until you are satisfied with the look. The end result will be an updo that is full of body and energy.

Another easy updo for short hair is the 1930's style pin up look. It is simple to create cute pin up curls and really turn some heads. Start by gathering up some bobby pins and applying a curling mousse evenly throughout your damp hair. Once the mousse is applied, part your hair to one side. Begin using the bobby pins on the side with the most hair. Secure your bangs with two bobby pins to create an initial finger-wave.

While the mousse is setting, gather small sections of your hair, twist them slightly, and secure them with bobby pins all over your head until you have all your hair twisted and secured. You will feel as if your head is a complicated maze of little knots. Wait until your head is dry, and carefully remove the front pins in your bangs. The finger-waves will stay and the little knots will accentuate your hairstyle.

The third easy short hair updo is a little funkier and can really showcase your personal style. Start by combing your bangs straight down over your eyes. Starting at the crown of your head, find different sized sections of hair, twist them up in little spirals, and secure them with bobby pins. Continue until all of your hair is up, and then finish with a straightening iron or a crimper on your bangs. This creates a fun and funky look you can customize just for you.

I hope you find these short hair updo tips enlightening. As you experiment with similar variations, remember to evaluate how each one fits with your personality and facial shape. And most of all, have fun!
