Easy Updos for Short Hair


Updos are great hairstyles when you are stuck with unmanageable hair, or don't want to go to a party with a formal hairdo and not just your short hair. All you need to do is carry basic hair grooming materials, and remember the steps mentioned below and you are good to go, whether it is to attend a formal party or just to make your frizzy hair look better by tying it in a updo hairstyle.

Cute Updos for Short Hair (Straight Hair)
Straight hair is easier to manage, however, managing straight silky hair is a bit difficult. Using a hairspray you can make fine straight hair a bit more manageable, or else use the natural type of your hair to make the updo styles. People with wavy hair can also opt for these updos by straightening their hair using a straightening iron.

  • For a stylish short hair updo look, tie a French bun at the back and cut your front hair in a blunt fringe.
  • The simplest way to style your hair is to secure a bun with a black rubber band, and leave few strands at the sides loose.
  • If you have extremely short hair, then tie a scarf, and leave some side bangs open to soften the look. Use a hair spray and arrange the back hair into a messy spikes style.
  • If you have extremely fine hair, then try out this braid hairstyle. Divide your hair in two portions and make pig tails on both sides. Roll them into buns and secure them above your ears. As your hair is straight and fine, the loose hair will come out giving a casual and cool look.
Quick Updos for Short Hair (Curly-Wavy Hair)
Curly or wavy hair gives a softer more romantic look. You can use your natural wavy hair to give a more relaxed, unkempt look by taking out 4-5 strands from the sides. Updos for curly hair look good on people who have a heart or round shaped face, as taking out some strands from the sides will highlight the facial features like the eyes, nose, lips and chin and take away the attention from the cheeks. People with straight hair also prefer this updo style, all you got to do is use a sea salt spray, scrunch your hair and let it dry to get the sexy beach waves in your hair.
  • A simple style for a romantic look is to tie a bun, and let few wavy strands loose at the sides, and near the nape of your neck. Accompany this with a strapless dress, and you have a great looking style for a formal party.
  • Part your hair in the middle, and form a plait with all of your hair, and roll it into a bun that is low. Use hair accessories like a pretty pin to secure in the bun.
  • If you have extremely short wavy hair, then tie a high pony, let few strands loose near the nape of your neck, and secure the rest of the hair using pins.
Easy Half Updos for Short Hair
Half updos are easier to make, and give a more casual look. However, the hair thickness should be good while styling your hair into half updos.
  • Take half the hair and form a puff using the hairspray, and secure it with hairpins. Let the rest of hair loose.
  • Tie half of your hair into a bun, and secure it with two long Chinese hair pins, leave the rest of the hair loose.
  • For a romantic-soft look that you want to wear at a party, you will need wavy hair. With your fingertips comb half of your hair, and secure it in a bun. Let a couple of side bangs loose, and make your look even more attractive by wearing dangling earrings.
