Bun Hairstyle
One of the best quick hairstyles that is suitable for any occasion is a bun. To create one of the most perfect quick updo, first wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo followed by a conditioner. Blow dry your hair until it is smooth and dry. Now divide your hair into three sections, two sections over the ears and one section at the back. Now tease the hair on the crown to give it more volume by back combing. Gather the hair that has been sectioned in the back of your head into a low ponytail. Again backcomb the ponytail to create extra volume and a slightly tousled look. Pull the ponytail into a low bun by twisting it around the base of the ponytail and secure with bobby pins. Take the front sections of your hair and curl it with a curling iron so that the curls lie away from your face. Take a two inch curled sections of your hair from both sides of the crown area and pin these to the bun. Let the other curls fall over your face. Apply a spritz of light hairspray to set the hairstyle in place.

Twist Hairstyle
Here is an easy quick updo that is great for medium hair with thick texture. This quick updo also works well for hair that has been washed a day or two before. First, backcomb the top and crown portion of your hair to create more volume in this area. Now divide this section from the temples, and twist hair in such a way that there are no snags in the front. Pin the hair section that you have just twisted with the help of bobby pins and angle them slightly so that the pins remain hidden. Take another two sections from just above the ears and twist and pin them in the same way, just below the first section. Repeat the same procedure until all hair has been pinned back. Spray the entire casual updo with a styling spray to secure the hairstyle.
