Long hair is extremely versatile because it offers more length to manage and create notable styles. Many more styles can be achieved with long hair than any other length of hair, and long hair is especially ideal for creating fantastic updos. Long hair can be used to create a variety of simple, easy styles, or it can be used to create more difficult, elaborate styles.
French Twists
The French twist is a simple yet elegant updo hairstyle that can be created with long and short hair. However, only with long hair will it display the twists and fullness of its original design. Once successfully styled, a French twist will shape all hairs into a series of neat and tidy twists that set a professional and elegant look for the wearer. This style is even more magnified by curly hair, which adds body and definition to the twists.
Create a French twist by first pulling all hair into a ponytail. Wind the ponytail around its elastic holder, twisting the ponytail as you do so. Make sure to twist the ponytail as you complete this process. Otherwise, you are merely creating a bun and not a French twist. Tuck the end of the twisted ponytail under the twist and secure it with bobby pins. Add even more glam to this look by allowing a few loose, wispy curls to frame your face and neck. This will give your French twist and softer, more romantic look.
Half-dos
Half-dos are actually innovative types of updos. Half-dos essentially pull half of your hair onto the top of your head, while the rest of your hair flows down your back. Half-dos are often categorized as a type of updo since they do require styling some hair on the top of your head. They offer more updo options and style possibilities.
Create one half-do by gathering your hair from the sides and back of your hair, as if you were going to pull it into a half ponytail. Secure your hair at the base of the half ponytail with bobby pins. Fold the pulled back hair over the secured base to create a loop, which you them pin into place at the top and the bottom. This hair will now sit high at the back of your head and cascade down your back to blend with the rest of your hair, creating a noteworthy up-do sure to turn heads. Once again, you may allow a few loose curls or locks to frame your face if you wish.
