1. Romantic Messy French Twist

Relaxed French twist hairstyles are our favorite! Featuring lots of wispy bits, they bring tons of body to your hair. Add some wavy pieces to frame your face gently and add romantic flair to this look.

2. Sophisticated Airy Updo

If you’re getting ready for a fancy party or a special event, this hairdo will make you feel super confident. Here, hair is teased and gathered on top in a high bun, front locks being styled to accentuate and draw attention to your appearance. We reckon high updos work amazingly for those aiming to elongate their face shape.

5. Updo with Lightweight Curls

Twisted updos with 90s Pamela Anderson vibes are all the rage now. You may try to DIY it following one of Instagram tutorials. Basically, you need to twist hair as if for a claw clip hairstyle, separate and curl the ends, and pull face-framing pieces to give your updo an effortless feel. Fix the style with a hair spray for extra hold.
