#12: No-Frills Elegant Updo

This updo is far from difficult, and it’s also casual enough to wear to school or work. However, if you have a fancy affair coming up, that is great too. The trick to this hairstyle is to purchase a hair poffer at a beauty supply shop. Honestly, a children’s slap bracelet works just as well if you can’t find anything else!

#15: Bouffant Back Bun

The bouffant is no longer relegated to just the top of the head thanks to hairstyles like the bouffant back bun. Be sure your hair is straight and smooth enough to get a flat front and a big back section. This hairstyle will be tricky with curly hair, so it’s better to use a flat iron prior to trying it out.
