There is never a shortage of updo styles to choose from. Another favorite of ours is the
loose updo hairstyle. The loose updo can be worn for a prom, wedding, or
just a casual night out. Any updo can essentially be loosened up but to get the great red
carpet glamorous look, it helps to prepare a loose updo from the get-go.
We think that going with a loose updo hairstyle is great idea for
anyone, but especially you single ladies! There is a flirty element that comes with the loose
updo. When combined with a simple summer dress the loose updo provides a great complement for
that classic whimsical look. There are a variety of options when choosing a loose updo
hairstyle.
Some women prefer to differ the degree of looseness to fit their own personal style.
Others have told me that they vary the looseness depending on the weather and season. Here
are a few ideas for loose updos that might be fun to try.
Loose Updo With Bangs
Bangs seem to be one of those styles that can be hot one minute and not the next. If bangs
are your thing, combining them with an updo is a fine option. To achieve the best loose updo
with bangs look, we recommend going for consistency. When we see bangs that look “off” they
are usually standing out too much. You want people to notice the bangs but you don’t want the
bangs to dominate the updo.
You can achieve a consistent look by making sure that the bangs are trimmed to the correct
length and are not falling too far down. This can also be a personal preference but don’t be
afraid to ask your hairstylist how to correctly maximize the use of your bangs.
There are a few stars that come to mind that have been seen wearing amazing looking loose updos
with bangs. Mary Kate Olsen, Cameron Diaz, and Angelina
Jolie have been known to dazzle with loose updos.
Loose Side Swept Updo
Another great option for a loose updo is to go with the side swept look. There have been
some great styles that incorporate the side sweep.
One option is to control a specific piece of hair across the front of the head. A braid is
one way to do this. Once the main strand is secured you can tease the middle portion off to
the side creating a distinctive unique look. This look works great with longer hair and gives
an airy essence to the hairstyle.
For additional options you might consider the side swept loose updo that culminates in a
bun. This can be a funkier option if you are looking to separate your updo from the
crowd. Taylor Swift and Emma Stone have been seen with
some beautiful side swept loose updos.
In our experience you should keep in mind what kind of activities you will be involved in if you
sport a loose updo. There can sometimes be a thin line between a great loose updo and a
hairstyle that looks unkempt. As always, don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with your
look!
