Looking for an updo hairstyle for everyday or a special event? Come on in and check out our many pictures of updos and styling how to information.

This hairstyle involves streaking with different colors!!! The pigtails are placed low at the base of the neck and tied up to form balls on either side. This is a fun look for a festival or for everyday personal expression with a hint of edgy whimsy.


The messy appeal adds to the charm of the not too perfect effect. A bandana is placed around the head like a wide headband and sunglasses sit on top of that. The colors range from dark brown to orange to red. Long feather earrings dangle and move freely with the motion of the body. These urban women are shopping at a street fair looking for fashion accessories.

Amber Heard

This one was shot at "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" Costume Institute Gala and this model and actress has chosen to pull the length up in a manner that helps her style look as though it's short as in faux. The sides are pinned back and the ends are tucked under. Her strapless dress and jewelry are consistent with 1950's glamor. The bangs are swept up and over in a wave. Her lipstick is bright red. Her dark roots show up along her side part as the main color is blonde.

This is a super easy way to pull the hair up for a formal occasion that is not too perfect looking. Just gather the mane up into a ponytail and instead of pulling all the way through, stop and leave it in a mushroom shape. This shot was taken at  "The Amazing Spider-Man" Los Angeles Premiere.
