Fun and Lovely Updos for Short Hair
Check out these 60 images with brilliant ideas below when you’re looking for some seriously gorgeous short hair inspiration.

This lovely ‘do looks better on lighter hair, as you can see, but if you really like it, then don’t let your black hair hold you back, just get it. It’s ideal for a short bob. Start with a braided section that runs from your side parting to the other side. Style some large curls with a straightener, tousle them and set with hair spray. It’s one of the coolest updo styles for slightly longer hair. It can work both as a casual hairstyle for work or a formal ‘do for a special occasion.
#2: Lacy Loose Messy Curls Updo
Loose messy curls are a go-to for many women, and styling them in an inverted updo is a different way to show them off. Style hair without previous combing to achieve this cute piece-y look. Pull strands back and make sure to secure the ends well so the spell isn’t broken.

A bob with curls instantly looks more ‘done’. This one’s cute and easy! Curls and braids create a Princess-like look even for short hair. Make the ends of the braid melt into the curls, and this hairstyle can work well for any fancy event.

#4: Smooth Bouffant Updo with Pinned Ends
Another example of a stunning bouffant, but with a less elevated crown. Super smooth and clean looking, it’s a perfect choice to sport for any formal occasion. A nice trick for the sleek finish is to comb baby hairs using a toothbrush that has hairspray on it.
