This hairdo gives the illusion that more time and effort has gone into your hair but it’s hasn’t and it’s simple to do. The gorgeous braid spills into the side-sweep bun to create intricate design.

26. Romantic Twisted Updo
This is a striking, but soft and dainty style. It looks hard to achieve but believe us, it’s not.

Source: @hair_by_zolotaya
This romantic twisted updo, is so easy. You start by twisting the front of your hair but ensure you don’t flatten it, you need the high-lift. Pin this and start twisting the middle sections and the longer sections last. The trick is not to spend time pinning back every strand of hair. Leave the little hairs hanging; it will help create the look so don’t worry if it starts to fall, it all ties in with the romantic side.
27. Curly Hair + Teased Crown = Elegant Updo
Do you have a dilemma of choosing between curls and or a teased crown? It would be so hard to choose out of the two but you don’t have to – have both!
