Why this worksSpring is all about light, airy styles that complement the season's vibe. Updos keep hair off your neck while showcasing any accessories or outfits. Plus, they’re versatile, making them suitable for both casual and formal occasions.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. A light mousse can add volume and texture, making it easier to style. If your hair is textured or needs hold, consider a light hairspray.
  2. Create a Base Ponytail Gather your hair at the crown or nape, depending on the look you want. Secure it with a hair tie, ensuring it’s tight enough to support the updo but loose enough to avoid tension.
  3. Twist and Pin Twist sections of hair from the ponytail and wrap them around the base. Secure with bobby pins, placing them in an 'X' shape for extra hold. Aim for a slightly messy look to keep it relaxed and spring-friendly.
  4. Finish with Accessories Add floral clips or delicate pins to elevate your updo. These can add a touch of spring flair and make your hairstyle pop against your outfit.

Where people go wrong

Many people pull the hair too tight, which can cause discomfort. Also, forgetting to use products for texture can make the style fall flat. Lastly, neglecting to secure pins properly often leads to slippage throughout the day.

The pro moveFor added volume, tease the base of your ponytail before styling.
