Messy bun with a braided twist

This updo had us oohing and ahhing from the minute we tried it ourselves. It's SO easy to do (especially if you have a hard time mastering an against-the-head braid. Just make two braids at each side of your head, pull them back into a pony, or pin them across the lower crown of your head. Then, wrap your hair into a bun and you're done! Easy as that.

Roll it up like a Greek goddess

This ‘do is super easy and quick––perfect for those gals on the go. All you gotta do is part your hair to the side and braid each side towards the lower back of your head as you tuck all the extra strands into an inward twist. Then, gather any leftover pieces from the two sections and pin at the bottom neckline.

Half-bun top knot

In a rush out the door? This season, it's all about the half-up-half-down hair. Just because you have short strands doesn't mean you can't rock this lax-yet-cool hairstyle, too. All you gotta do it part it half up, half down and throw it up into a top knot messy bun. Don't worry about any loose strands because that's how it's supposed to look, promise!
