3 easy DIY up-dos for every occasion

If you like the idea of putting your hair up for a special occasion or a night out on the town, then do it! There are some beautiful, simple up-dos that you can do yourself and won’t take you very long. Here are three quick ones to try tonight.

• If you think ponytails are just a way to put your hair up on a hot day or get it out of the way when you're working out, think again.
• A high ponytail can look very polished and very glam, too.
• Since the hairstyle is so simple, feel free to embellish the look with jewelry, shiny nails and a bit of flash in your clothes.

• This sophisticated look takes only a few minutes to do, but it looks good on everyone since it's extremely face-framing.
• Pull your hair into a side ponytail, then take a few strands of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to hide it. And there you have it: effort-free style!

• Start by putting your hair into a high ponytail, but don’t pull the hair all the way through the elastic band.
• Leaving a little loop on top with some hair left over at the bottom, take the section of hair that’s free from the elastic band and twist it.
• Take the twist and wrap it around the base of the loop of hair that you made, tucking in the end and securing with bobby pins.
• What you get is a chic, put-together hairstyle perfect for every occasion.
