7. Easy Twist and Flip Bun

This straightforward bun is adorable and simple to make. Like with a basic knot, start with a ponytail and loop it through a bobble, leaving a longer tail for the wrap. Widen the knot by spreading it out. Next, use bobby pins to secure the leftover hair around the bobble. When combined with lighter-end ombre hair, this looks extremely striking.

8. Loose Messy Updo for Thick Hair

Long hair updos are a great way to keep unruly locks out of your face, but they don’t have to be tidy! This textured updo is one of the most original low updos we’ve ever seen, combining braids and loosely pinned tousled locks.

9. Casual Two Braids and Bun Updo

Take advantage of braids and twists to bring out the best features in your hairstyle. This concept can be achieved with a charming braids-to-bun updo. It’s not necessary for the style to be flawlessly prepped to look amazing. A messy bun and looser braids without a defined part are a great informal option.

10. Colorful Twisted Fishtail Bun

Vibrant highlights or hair chalking look fantastic in elaborate-looking but surprisingly simple updos. If you have long hair, you can twist it into a bun as usual and braid just the tip of your ponytail. This updo’s elevated position also highlights the highlights layer underneath.

11. Easy Girly Braid and Bun

This is the perfect updo if you’re searching for simple styles for long hair! From the nape of your neck to the crown, style your hair in a French plait. To display your handy work, pull the hair that was left out and the braid’s end into an imperfect bun.

12. Feminine Braided Chignon Updo

To achieve this look, wrap your hair around a hair band that is worn around the outside of your head. A well-placed braid makes it easy to conceal the many bobby pins you’ll need to keep everything in place.

13. Textured Chignon Updo

Go for a classic chignon to look elegant. You can literally roll your hair up and wear it in this amazing style, which is perfect for girls with thick hair! To get that adorable texture and lighten the style, start with light backcombing or prepare those heatless waves in advance.

14. Bubble Gum Pink Dutch Braid Bun

Although long hair updos can appear somewhat complex, this one is surprisingly simple. To achieve this lovely Dutch braid hairstyle, plait your hair down one side of your head, then wrap the ends to form a loose, low bun. Motivate straggling strands and even extract a few from your braid.

15. Angelic Fishtail Crown Braid

This updo is perfect for women who have gorgeous highlights. By replacing the standard plait in the crown braid with a fishtail, the halo effect is amplified. It’s true that this look can be time-consuming and rather fiddly.
