5. The Messy Low Chignon with Tendrils

This effortless updo looks intentionally styled and Parisian, making it ideal for days when you want a relaxed yet neat appearance.

  • Best For: Medium to long hair; works exceptionally well on second-day hair.
  • How to Style: Pull your hair back toward the nape of your neck, leaving two wispy strands free in front. Begin creating a low ponytail with a scrunchie or hair tie, but on the final loop, pull the hair only halfway through to create a looped bun. Wrap the loose tail ends around the base and tuck them into the elastic. Lightly tug at the crown of your head to create subtle lift and volume.
