Arielle Kebbel - The Funky Updo

Arielle Kebbel hairstylesIf you need a fun hairstyle that you can wear to parties, family gatherings or low-key events then this funky updo is just what you need. Show off your soft curly hair texture, à la Arielle Kebbel, by gently pulling your locks back and securing them in a low, loose upstyle at the back of your head. Loose strands around your face are ideal for adding softness to your face shape and will really cap your look off with a pretty finish.


 


Anna Paquin - The Casual Updo

Anna Paquin hairstylesJust because all you want to do is tie your hair back and leave it on the weekend or those days when you're running too late to do anything fancier does not mean that you can't still have a casual hairstyle with a little finesse. Taking a few extra minutes to slightly backcomb your hair before pulling it back and then using hair pins to create a messy-yet-cool looking bun is all you need to pull off a casual look with a bit of edge. Just ask Anna Paquin.
