But despite the first images your brain might conjure up, there are a few things you should know. First and foremost, updo hairstyles don’t have to be formal or difficult. In fact, they can be easy to do at home and are a great way to keep your hair off the back of your neck, especially in the warmer months.

Plus, Updo hairstyles are remarkably versatile and can easily transition between day and night, casual and formal, and sleek and messy, which makes them one of our go-to hairstyles.
