This photo of a 1940's woman shows us a nice example of an updo perfect for short hair and it has an attractive vintage appeal.
The top is randomly curled which makes the bangs look super short and full of volume. The sides are slicked back with pomade and attached in the back with bobby pins. There is just a fringe of hair on the neck that can be seen from the front. She is wearing a satin black dress with gathered sleeves. Her nails are neatly polished.

A bouffant-ish partial updo can dress up a short cut for a special occasion.
She has fine straight hair that works with this style. Form pieces can be purchased to help with the construction of this beehive to help with the shape of the hump.

Katy Perry has ever changing hairstyles and here are some favorites:
She has a vintage wavy shoulder length bob in a pink shade here at the MTV Music Awards. She has a record accessory like a tam hat placed toward the front of her head. The style is reminiscent of a Lauren Bacall's 1940's hairstyle.
This super straight and choppy inverted bob is from December of 2011. She has a side part and no bangs. The color is blonde with pink highlights.
Here she is in 2012 with a similar bob but this one is blue.
And then later in 2012 at the Billboard Music Awards she is sporting a dark hair color more like her own with a dusting of purple highlights that just add a shimmer and match her dress. This is a soft and glamorous style with soft curls that cascade down over her shoulders.
This one is a simple updo bun in her natural color.
It's Fashion Week 2011 and her straight long blue hair with short bangs is reminiscent of the 60's styles. She has round glasses and a striped shirt.
Paris Fashion Week 2012 she has blue bob and fedora hat that sits back on the crown. A little bit like Boy George perhaps?
2011 Pre-Grammy Gala she has super straight and sleek sedu hair that is parted in the middle. A flat iron helps with the smooth shine.
Europe MTV Music Awards 2011 where she is wearing Bettie Page rolled bangs and a partial updo. Her pink hair matches her pink leather studded jacket.
This one is full of long soft curls and it shows off the length, but it also keeps the strands away from the face by twisting and pulling back for a fun look!
Her dark brown color is a nice compliment to her skin tone and short frilly party dress that is full of bright colors and black in geometric patterns. One tattoo is visible on her upper arm and is a skull.
Here is a full length view that shows her footwear. She is sporting black Nike shoes that look much more comfortable for moving around the stage than high heels. They go well with her outfit as the soles are the same shade of blue as what is seen in her dress. Hey, why not, looks cute to me.
She has a side part and no bangs. Each side is twirled around and pinned up on the sides. Some back combing of the underneath layers can help add some height and then just smooth over the top layer.
She is performing live on NBC's "Today Show" at Rockefeller Center in New York City on August 30, 2012.

Looking for cute updo's for Homecoming? Here are some great choices:
This one is easy and all that is needed is to twist all strands around and secure them in a decorative alligator clip and or bobby pins. Leaving some sections out to look "not so perfect" gives a playful appeal. The bangs are pulled out to hang free next to the face. This young woman's date for dance is wearing a black tux and has a full bang hairstyle. They both have very similar blonde highlights. The dress is a pretty mint green and strapless.
The above photo shows the back view of an updo to help with styling options.
This one is a cute style for a long mane done up into a partial updo worn by Aimee Teegarden.
This model is wearing a retro big hairdo that is edgy and fun. Lots of teasing and back combing creates the height necessary for this look.
Here is a partial updo for short hair.
Hayden Panetierre has a side knot updo with fringes on each side of her face.
