Wedding updos are an urgent topic for summer days when you need to keep your locks off the face and every formal event suggests an elegant updo, preferably a pulled up style. A medium length may set some restrictions on the variability of hairstyles, since some updos really look more advantageous on longer lengths. However, with shoulder-grazing hair you can also afford plenty of gorgeous updos which won’t ever give out your actual length. Here are some cool ways to style your medium-length hair in an updo.
Medium Length Wedding Buns And Knots
A bun is probably the easiest updo you can do yourself. With medium length hair that is not thick enough, you may lack body which eventually tells on the bun’s size. Backcombing helps to add body and visually enlarge the bun’s size.
Modern knots are rather loose and messy. Tease your hair at the roots to provide some lift around your face and make a low or high “imperfect” knot. Once it’s ready and fixed, you may pull at occasional strands to make loops. Don’t forget that deliberately messy styles are currently trendy.
