We are rapidly approaching the hottest part of the season, and I don�t know about you, but I need my hair OFF MY NECK.
Lucky for us, summer updos are gracing the pages of every major magazine. Take Allure for example:
Now, I�m a little bobby-pin challenged, but the beauty of current summer updos is that a messy, imperfect look is the ultimate goal. Long gone are the days of stiff, hair-sprayed helmet heads. (Thank God.)
As Orlando Pita mentioned in the above piece:
Perfect updo = Matronly
Messy updo = Soft and feminine
Here are three fail-proof summer updos that are absolutely fun and fresh.
What you need:
Bobby pins (if bobby pins aren�t your thing, try these tiny jaw clips)
A brush (to smooth out any tangles, although we didn�t use one)
The first video is a modern side bun.

When placing the bobby pins, be sure to use the flat side of the pin against your scalp and DON�T TRY TO GRAB TOO MUCH HAIR WITH THE PIN. That�s the common mistake many (um, ME) seem to make - just push the pin into the hair, grabbing a little bit of hair at a time. For thick hair, you will need to use many bobby pins. (Or try the mini-claws shown above. Just make sure that the claws are well hidden.)
If you have thick hair, try creating two side buns on top of one another.

If you�re new to updos, these might take a little practice, but I promise you�ll be donning modern and feminine updos in no time!
What about you? Do you have any easy updos that you love?
