Celeb Up dos
Sweet side braid
The key to this look is keeping it free and flirty. Sweep hair to one side, braid and fasten with a clear elastic. Using a curling iron add a slight wave to loose pieces around the face and neck.
Modern sparkle
Add glam to your next gala 'do with a bejewelled headband. Remember, a little sparkle goes a long way.
Polished ponytail
Sophisticated and sharp, we promise this ponytail will turn heads. Start with a centre part and brush hair back into a ponytail. Use an elastic to fasten ponytail at the top of your crown. Next coil a 1/2 inch section of hair around the elastic (see how we do it here). Secure with a bobby pin and voilà: a totally posh look!
Grecian girl
Great for hot and humid summer nights, this updo will keep the hair off your neck—and with a bit of hairspray, will keep its hold on even the stickiest of evenings. Start by teasing the crown (just enough for a little lift) then part in the centre and pull back into a bun (or a sleek ponytail). Loosen a few pieces around the ears, and finish with a lightweight hairspray.
Top knot
Forget the 'sock bun' and try a twist bun instead. Start by brushing back your hair into a ponytail. Secure with an elastic. Twist the ponytail, and it will naturally coil into a bun. Secure using bobby pins and set with a spritz of your favourite hairspray.
Loose and luxe
The key to this perfectly un-perfect look is a curling iron. Once you have secured the bun to your liking, loosen a few front pieces and using a hot iron, coil hair around the barrel and hold for a few seconds. Alternate the direction of the curls for the most natural finish. Be sure to add a wave to loose pieces around the bun too!
Rockin' pony
Keep it simple: This high ponytail is easy to master and looks perfect every time. Start with a flat iron to add a wave to your hair (check out Chatelaine's how-to video), tease the crown, brush back and secure with an elastic.
The-bigger-the-better bun
Sometimes the easiest style—like a bun—can be amped up to create a total wow factor. Start with a low ponytail, and backcomb the underside of the ponytail to build volume (we like to do this step upside down). Fold the ponytail under your elastic and secure using bobby pins. Shape as needed and finish with a glossy hairspray.
