Chic side updos for long hair that you can enjoy all season long.
The fall may be an amazing time of year (whether you’re on the pumpkin-flavored everything bandwagon or not), but for women with long hair, this time of year can be… well, tricky. There’s the perma-static that makes your hair look all Marge Simpson. There’s the constant lint-rollering as you shed all over your snazzy sweaters. And who can forget the build-up of nasty knots at the nape of your neck as your hair rubs up against your shirt collars? Sigh.
That’s where side updos for long hair really come in handy. Not only do they look super chic, but they’ll save you an entire season of detangling. Here are our fave picks:
1. Side-swept Pony
This side-swept pony is the best of both worlds. It screams, “I’m formal, but I’m here to party.” When you’ve had one too many, you’ll still look put together. Cha. Ching.
2. Swept Side Braid
