Stunning Updos for Short Hair

This beautiful low bun is an elegant and easy updo for short hair! In order to replicate this look, part your hair toward one side and separate your hair into two equal sections. From these halves, separate one small section from the front of each side. This will be the hair that you use to make the twists that go into your bun. Using the rest of your hair, make a bun at the nape of your neck. Now twist the loose front sections of hair and use a bobby pin to secure them inside your bun. If you would like to have a piece of hair framing one side of your face like Emily, gently pull out the desired amount of hair from one of your twists. You can then use a bobby pin to secure some of this hair higher on your head as Emily does. This beautiful soft look is versatile for any type of special event and is also the perfect updo for casual days if you want to look extra stylish!

This stunningly simple low bun looks glamorous with the addition of a beautiful hair clip! This is the perfect hairstyle for girls who want to try an updo that looks effortlessly stylish. This look consists of a low loop bun with a section of hair wrapped around the top of the bun to cover the fastener. Begin by parting your hair to the side and separating any pieces that you want to frame your face. Next, separate a section of hair that you will use to wrap your loop bun. Using the rest of your hair, fold your hair so that it creates a loop shape and secure it with a hair elastic. Now take the separated section and gently twist it before wrapping it around the top of your bun. Once you have wrapped your bun, secure the ends of your hair with a pin. If you want to add some glamour to this easy updo, add a beautiful hair clip like Emma!

Selena looks effortlessly cool with this casual updo! Luckily for you, this updo is incredibly easy to recreate. Keep the pieces of hair that you want to frame your face in front and then pull the rest of your hair back as if you were making a ponytail. Then just loop your hair through your hair band a few times in order to create your messy bun! If you are not good at making buns, you can also make a ponytail first, and then use an additional hair band to create the bun on top of the ponytail base. However, this updo looks gorgeous precisely because it isn’t neat, so don’t worry about being perfect! Depending on your facial features and preferences, you may prefer to style this updo so that you do not have a visible part. If that is the case, just comb your fingers through your hair in order to make it appear that you do not have a hair part before you create your bun. This is a cute updo for doing casual activities, but as Selena shows us, you can also make this hairstyle look more glamorous by adding some statement earrings!

When you think of sleek hairstyles you probably think of hair combed tightly against the scalp. However, as Claire’s gorgeous updo demonstrates, it is possible to achieve both a sleek and also more casual loose look at the same time. Ensure that your hair part is defined and then pull your hair back into a ponytail that sits at the bottom of your neck. Although this is a loose bun look, you need to tie your hair elastic tight so that you can create long lasting volume in the back of your hair. Gently pull the hair on the side of your head down so that it creates a beautiful rounded drape around your ears. Next, push upward on the hair above your ponytail to create some rounded volume. Spray the top of your hair with hairspray to give your style some hold. With your ponytail in hand, wrap your hair around the ponytail fastener to create a neat bun and then use pins to secure your bun. That’s it! This is an incredibly versatile updo and a great example of how you can create the illusion of having face-framing layers even if your hair is all the same length!

This updo is oh-so-cute and oh-so-easy! First you need to create two braids, but don’t worry about making them perfect because this updo is gorgeously casual! If you want, you can finish these braids with small hair elastics, but they should be thin and tight enough to hold themselves together. Either way, use one hairpin to secure these braids to the side of your head. Make sure to angle your braids so that they will flow effortlessly with the rest of your hair. Next, gather your hair into a low ponytail at the bottom of your head. Wrap your hair around the ponytail and secure your bun. This is such a stunning updo for girls who want to add a bit of a bohemian vibe to their style!

Gwen is a style icon for girls who like to look feminine but edgy and quirky at the same time! This is a great easy updo style for girls who may think regular buns are boring and want to experiment with something a little bit more unexpected. To begin, you will need to create a very high slightly off center ponytail at the top of your head. You may find that the easiest way to do this is to bend over and brush your hair into your ponytail. Depending on your hair length, you may have some shorter pieces of hair that don’t make it into your ponytail, but you can just use hairpins to secure these flat against your head. Next wrap your bun around the ponytail as neatly as you can in order to create a smooth round bun. This is definitely a unique updo, so don’t be surprised if you get some second glances when you decide to rock this look!

Topknots are a super cute updo style and they look great on girls with any face shape!

Even though you might not think a messy bun can look elegant, Olivia shows us how easy it is to infuse a bit of glamour into a casual look by adding a voluminous bump. You can still wear this style even if you don’t have bangs, but you can make your updo look just like Olivia’s if you are rocking similar bangs. Before making your bun, you need to create the “bump” at the back of your head. The easiest way to recreate the look of Olivia’s raised hair is to create a half ponytail. Take about one third of your hair from the top and create a ponytail that hits about midway down your head and sits above the rest of your hair. You can use a hair elastic, but if prefer the look of hairpins you can also use pins to secure this section of hair. After you create this ponytail, pull the hair upward and away from your ponytail fastener until you achieve the look of a bump. Now gather all of your hair into a ball and secure it with a hair band. You can also use pins if you want to create your bun using smaller sections at a time. If you have been looking for an elegant yet casual updo that doesn’t take much effort, this easy updo is definitely something you need to try!

This cute updo is so easy to replicate and doesn’t require anything other than your gorgeous short hair and a single hair band!

This versatile style is a great quick and easy updo if you just need hair out of your face or if you want to create the perfect canvas to show off your gorgeous features and earrings!

You may wish you could magically have Keira’s gorgeous eyes and bone structure, but at least you can have her stunning updo! This look is unique and perfect for girls who want to infuse a bit of bohemian energy into their updo. Start by separating your hair into 4 parts, with the front two sections being thinner than the back sections. Now twist one of your thinner front sections, spray it with hairspray, and pin it to the back of your head so that it slightly covers your ears. Repeat this step with the second section of front hair and then spray both secured twists with hairspray again. Now twist one of your thicker back sections and pin it so that it is integrated with the ends of your front twists. Repeat this step for the second back section. If you don’t want to have the twist look in the back, you can also just create a bun using your hair in the back. No matter you choose to style the back of your updo, your front twists will definitely inspire your friends to ask you how they can make their hair look as great as yours!

This is a gorgeous and easy updo that will flatter girls with any face shape! Keep the pieces that you want to frame your face in front and then finger comb the rest of your hair straight back do that there is no hair part. Create a mid height ponytail and then push up the top of your hair to create a subtle pompadour look, but make sure the hair on the side of your head stays tight and sleek. Spray the top of your hair with hairspray to make sure that your volume has staying power. Next wrap your hair around the ponytail fastener to create a bun. You can also use a large clip to hold up your ponytail if you don’t want to create a bun!

This gorgeously elegant and easy updo is a great way to highlight your facial features and beautiful earrings! In order to achieve this sleek look, you should first straighten your hair if it is not naturally straight. Next, part your hair straight down the middle. Gather your hair in your hands and twist. With your twisted hair, wrap your hair into a bun. Twisting your hair before creating the bun will help ensure that your bun is nice and sleek.
