Simply having short locks can help you achieve stunning formal updos! From sleek and polished styles to playful, unstructured ones, there is an array of chic updos perfect for special events or everyday wear that you can choose from for special occasions or daily wear.
1. Sleek Low Bun
Sleek bun hairstyles have become an increasingly popular trend, popularized by Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone and Western stars like Bella Hadid. This style works beautifully on faces of all shapes and sizes – perfect for elevating casual looks and formal events!
Start by finger-combing your hair away from your forehead, gathering it into a low ponytail at your nape, and teasing it slightly before adding strategically placed bobby pins for this stunning updo. Add light-hold hairspray for lasting hold to complete this gorgeous style.
2. Twisted Low Bun
One of the more exquisite updos for short hair, this chic style features an elaborate plait braided loosely to one side of a bob. For added sophistication and breathtakingness, add spiral curls for an exquisite and stunning result.
Tease your strands for volume, pull back your ponytail into a low bun, and secure it using bobby pins and light-hold hairspray for an updo that exudes classic sophistication – an ideal style choice for weddings, formal dinners, or any special event requiring elegant style.
3. Playful Space Buns
Playful space buns are an elegant updo for short hair that works beautifully with any outfit. Just tease a section, pin it into place, and finish your style with a mist of hairspray to ensure its longevity all night or day!
4. Messy Low Bun
Even if your hair is thin and delicate, it can still look full-bodied with an elegant low updo style. Use lots of pins to tease it out for this beautiful style.
Add feminine flair to your updo with a touch of femininity by accessorizing with a delicate strand of lace or pearls, or try styling your hair into a slight bouffant for more volume and elegance.
5. Three-Bun Twist
Whether it’s for an evening event or beach wedding, this simple low chignon is your quick and easy go-to look! Braid the back of your hair into a tight French braid before feeding it into a soft bun with several face-framing strands for casual glamour.
Use your creativity to transform the most straightforward twisted updo into something exquisite, such as this adorable Minnie Mouse look. Tease your strands to add volume, pin them around the base of the chignon for fullness, and finish it all off with a light spray of hairspray to keep the style in place!
6. Fishtail Braid
One of the prettiest updos for short hair, this feminine style is perfect for special events. We are featuring an elegant thick braid at the back for added volume.
Tease your hair lightly for added dimension before tucking it into a fishtail braid – this simple yet stunning style will leave everyone speechless!
