Hair Styling Tools to Use: Veaudry myDryer & myStyler
Start by blow-drying your hair smoothly using the myDryer. This will create a sleek base for your updo and help smooth flyaways. Then, grab your myStyler to straighten your hair and ensure it’s frizz-free. After that, tie your hair into a low ponytail, twist it into a bun and use bobby pins to secure it. Finish by setting the style with a light mist of hairspray.
Elegant Updo 2: The Romantic Low Bun
Soft, romantic, and effortlessly chic, the low bun is ideal for date nights, garden parties, and casual weddings. It’s one of the best elegant updos for long hair, and it’ll look better if you have suitable hair styling tools.
Hair Styling Tool to Use: Veaudry myCurl Interchangeable - Wand Duo
First, use the myCurl Interchangeable - Wand Duo to create loose waves. It’s an incredible hair tool for waves, injecting more texture and volume into your hair before forming the low bun. If you’re ready with your waves, it’s time to gather your strands at the nape of your neck, twist them into a loose bun, and secure them with bobby pins. You can pull out a few face-framing strands to soften the look and boost the romantic vibe. Lastly, set the style with your favourite light-hold hairspray.
Elegant Updo 3: The Sleek High Ponytail
The sleek high ponytail can be considered an elegant updo. It is modern and glamorous; you can sport it in red-carpet events, cocktail parties, or even just a night out. Plus, you can pull off this hairstyle with the help of a trusty hair straightener.
Hair Styling Tool to Use: Veaudry myStyler Colossal
It’s always nice to begin with ultra-smooth, straight hair, so get your myStyler Colossal to achieve that. Then, tie your hair into a high ponytail. Feel free to tease your hair at the crown before securing it with an elastic to gain extra volume. After that, take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base to hide the elastic. You can secure the hairstyle with a bobby pin and finish it with a shine spray.
Elegant Updo 4: The Braided Crown
The braided crown is a bohemian dream, perfect for festivals, outdoor weddings, and summer soirées. Don’t be intimidated by the look of this hairstyle! It can be a breeze to achieve, especially if you make hair styling tools work to your advantage.
Hair Styling Tool to Use: Veaudry myCurl Interchangeable - TRIPLE BARREL
The trick with this one is to work with braids easily, so begin by using the myCurl Interchangeable - Triple Barrel to create beachy waves. Doing so adds texture and volume to your hair, making it easier to create braids. Then, part your hair down the middle and make two braids on either side of your head. Use small elastics to secure the ends. Next, form the crown. Wrap each braid around your head and utilise bobby pins to create a crown effect. Pull a few strands around your face for a softer look, and set this updo with a flexible-hold hairspray.
Elegant Updo 5: The Messy Bun
The messy bun is the perfect example of effortless chic. It can be your go-to hairstyle for casual outings, brunches, and laid-back weddings. While you can achieve it without using any styling hair tool, a voluminous blowout at the start can be helpful.
Hair Styling Tool to Use: Veaudry myDryer
Blow-dry your hair with the myDryer to give your hair a voluminous blowout. Focus on creating lift at the roots. Next, gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a loose bun. Use bobby pins, but allow some pieces to fall out naturally. You can also tease the bun slightly to add volume and texture. Finish the hairstyle with a texturising spray to enhance the messy look and keep the style in place.
