Creating an easy updo hairstyle

1. Tie half ponytail

Start by gathering the top half of your hair and securing it into a ponytail. This will give you a solid base to work with for the rest of the updo.

2. Clip to your head

Now, clip the half ponytail securely on top of your head. This will help keep it out of the way while you work on the next steps.

3. Tie second ponytail

Gather the remaining hair beneath the half ponytail and tie it into a second ponytail, making sure both sections are secured well.

4. Braid the top ponytail

Let the top half ponytail down and divide it into two equal sections. Braid them together to create a simple, elegant braid.

5. Snake the braid to create a bun

Take the braided section and gently snake it around the top hair tie, forming a bun shape.


Keep wrapping it around until you’ve created a full bun.

6. Pin it in place

Once your braid is wrapped around, secure it in place with as many bobby pins as you need so that it feels tight and secure.

8. Snake the second braid around the first bun

Take the second braid and carefully snake it around the first bun you created. This will add an extra layer and texture to the updo.


Once done, secure it in place with a bobby pin.
