Formal Updo Long Straight Hairstyles

A formal long straight updo is smooth, sleek, polished, tailored, high, graceful, and even interesting. These types of hairstyles vary greatly and include everything from top knots, French rolls, top twists, spanned-out wefts, to plaited braids and wraps. Long straight updos need to be pinned, tied, teased, gelled, brushed smooth, and lacquered into place. Styling time varies depending on how much work is done, meaning it can be as little as 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for intricate plaits and moulded buns etc. These looks are great for keeping the hair out of the eyes and off the face and they can also change your entire look completely.
