We call this look, "I'm beautiful and I just can't be bothered by it." Yes, it's an upgraded messy bun, and yes, we're here for it. Not on the top of the head but in the middle of the back of your head, start with a bun, then pull small sections out and twist around, pinning them back in when they're just so. Leave a few loose pieces to give it that certain sense of je ne sais quoi.

This topknot twist is elegant and easy. Start with a high pony, then twist until the hair wraps around itself, then pin into place. Pull a few loose tendrils to frame the face and curl for a romantic look. This look will really show off your amazing cheekbones.

This updo idea is so polished and chic — and it starts with high shine. Apply your fave shine serum and gather those lustrous locks at the nape of your neck. Carefully twist and pin as you go, ending with a loop over the top, which you can then fasten on the bottom.

A loose chignon at the nape with a gorgeous embellished headband? It's a must for your next soiree. The secret to making this one work is mousse before you blowdry for added oomph, then backcombing at the crown.
Pull your hair straight back, no part. Divide into two sections and loop them loosely around, then them pin into place on top, leaving the ends out. Add the headband right at the hairline.

This one is pretty intricate and may be something you want to take to your stylist if you've got a big shindig coming up, but boy is it ever exquisite. Just bring your own pearls for your hairdresser to weave in — or, you can also find tutorials of simpler versions of this look!
