Double Fishtail Braid Updo

Fishtail braids are fabulous hairstyles that add a polished appeal to your daily look. They can also easily transform any updo into a true work of art with no effort at all. To recreate this simple hairstyle, start out by making two low fishtail braids. Flip each braid to make a topsy ponytail. Bring both ends together and tie your braids in a knot.

Tuck in the loose ends with some bobby pins and enjoy your braided look. Want a more festive glam? Try adding some hair accessories like fresh flowers, bejeweled pins, or hair clips. Compliments guaranteed!

Romantic Updo with a Twist

This twist updo is much easier than it might seem. Just divide your hair into two equal parts and section off your front strands. Start twisting those sections towards your face as if you’re creating a rope braid. Fluff those twists for a more textured and effortless look.

After pinning the front pieces at the back, braid the rest of your hair and fold it into a bun, just like in the video. Secure the twisted strands around the bun with some pins and use your fingers to fluff up the hair for a messier look.

Date Night Bun Updo

This dreamy updo is made for a romantic outing under the moonlight. It’s fun and creative at the same time, so you’ll surely find yourself in the spotlight while wearing it. To begin with, create a low ponytail. Then, take the upper section of your pony and braid it into a fishtail braid or a classic French braid.

Next, proceed with a twisted bun, and don’t forget to fluff it out as you go. Add your favorite hair pins or clips to finish off the look. For a more dramatic effect, consider adding a deep side part and style your fringe accordingly.
