Easy Updo for Moms on the Go

From Goody
If you have long hair, chances are you put it up in a ponytail quite often. I know I find elastics all over the house when I do a clean and there are hair clips in every bag I have (even the beach bags put away for the season)! Sometimes I get sick of the same look, but I learned an easy trick for a super cute updo.
- Pull the hair into a pony at the back of your neck.
- Twist hair in downward position for about two inches, then pull up and clip twisted hair underneath with something like Goody's Stay Put Half Claw.
- The rest of your hair will drape over or spray out.
- You can try this style higher on your head if you like by pulling hair back closer to the ears instead of neck.
Have short hair that won't fit into a ponytail? Add hair accessories that have some flair!
- I love these grosgrain ribbon clips (above left, $3.75 on Etsy) made by babemakes4.
- And aren't these fabric button bobby pins (above right, $6.40 on Etsy) from clippyhut the cutest?
You can even add these to long hair styles and share with your daughter! Cute, right?
Do you have any other easy updo suggestions? Share!

Wow... that's some explanation babemakes4! I can't wait to go home and try it!!!
I agree with Cafe Amy! Great explanation babemakes4!.
Oh, thanks for featuring my bobby pins!
What you cantdo is when you put your hair in a pony teal and then take your hair twist it and put it in another rubber band and let the hair that sticking out pull a little out at the top so it can look sty-leis. It make it look a good i have had people say it looks cute

this is a great article, and i want to say thank you for the mention out about my clips. One of my favorite updos if you have longer hair is the bow. You put your hair in a pony o but don't pull it all the way through (just enough to have like a loop and a little tail) then wrap and extra pony o around it , now take your the tail part and put it up through the extra pony o dividing the loop in half so that it looks like a bow. I hope i explained it ok its hard with out picture but it is super cute.
