Photo By: Chris SanJose

The holiday season is quickly approaching and with it will come many events, parties and functions. Having short to medium length hair, I more often than not opt to just leave my hair down. Sometimes I get fancy and put some curls in it. As you may have seen, I have done some recent short hair tutorial roundup posts to try and broaden my options. So, I thought I would share some of the updo hair tutorials I have found while looking for inspiration for the upcoming holiday season.

1. Messy French Twist





2. Faux Updo for Super Short Hair




3. Rope Braid Updo Tutorial




4. Taylor Swift Inspired Short Hair Updo




5. Easy 1 Minute Updo

    I love these, but I can just never pull off "messy". My hair never looks cute, it just literally looks messy, LOL!

    CUTE! I wish I was as imaginative with my hair when it was medium-short. Heck, even with it long, I don't know what to do with it! Thanks for these tutorials.

    What beautiful styles! I can't ever do anything with my hair it's so thin it always falls down. I'm sure those would look great in my hair if I could get them to stay.
