The Easy Updo

 If you're going out somewhere special, but don't have much time to do anything extravagant; this updo is so simple, lovely to look at - and only takes two minutes.

Start by putting your hair up into a high, sleek ponytail. 

Loop your ponytail into a quick bun. 

With one hand, push the bun forward. It should fan out like this, but use
your fingers to fan it out evenly around the hair tie.
*Tip: If you see the hair tie exposed, before you put it in a bun, wrap a
strand of hair around the hair tie and secure underneath with
a bobby pin.

Using several bobby pins, secure the bun forward. 

Voila! I chose to leave some stray bits here and there so it doesn't look
perfect, but feel free to tuck them away for a sleeker look. 

Add an accessories for interest if you're in the mood...

And finish it all off with a swipe of the darkest plum
lipstick you can find. Perfect for a fall night out.
