When it comes to up-do hairstyles, women with long hair have an advantage. Long hair is versatile, and it can be styled in various ways, from a simple ponytail to an intricate updo. In this weeks blog, we will explore some good up-do hairstyles for women with long hair that are perfect for staying stylish in the summer heat.

1. Braided Crown Updo - The braided crown updo is a beautiful and elegant hairstyle that's perfect for weddings, proms, or any formal occasion. To achieve this style, start by braiding two sections of your hair from the front and secure them at the back of your head. Then, create a loose bun with the rest of your hair and pin the braids around the bun to create a crown. If you desire your hair ties to blend for this hair style, look into TIY's neutral colors like our sand, brown, and black.

2. Messy Bun Updo - The messy bun updo is a relaxed and effortless hairstyle that's perfect for a casual day out or a busy day at work. To achieve this style, gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a messy bun. You can leave some strands loose to create a more relaxed look. We recommend a single loop for this look, or a double loop if you have thicker hair, as it is a relaxed look. 

3. Slicked Back High Pony - The ultimate hair style for heat that is still fashionable, clean, and fresh is the high pony. We recommend using a four loop if you have thick hair, or a two loop for thin hair to achieve this look. Be sure to have some hairspray for frizz to achieve the clean and slicked back look. 

4. Half Up Half Down Updo - The half up half down updo is a versatile hairstyle that's perfect for any occasion. To achieve this style, gather the top half of your hair and secure it with a hair tie or bobby pins. Then, let the rest of your hair down or create a loose bun with it. We recommend using one of our bright colors and matching it with your outfit for a cute and fun look.

5. Side-Swept Updo - The side-swept updo is a romantic and feminine hairstyle that's perfect for a wedding or a date night. To achieve this style, create a deep side part and sweep your hair to one side. Then, twist your hair into a low bun. TIY is perfect for this hairstyle as it won't budge the entire night!

6. Bubble Braid - This style has been a favorite of ours for the past few months. We LOVE it when aesthetes send us their bubble braid pics! It is the perfect style for someone who is active but also wants to be fashionable. For this hairstyle, use a two or four loop TIY depending on your hair type (the more loops the more support) for your main pony. Once you've secured your ponytail, cut and tie multiple baby loops or single loops and secure them down your ponytail multiple times with about an inch apart each tie. Then pull the hair in between the ties to give it that "bubble" effect and you're done!

These styles are perfect for any occasion, from a casual day out to a formal event. Regardless of the style, be sure to use a hair tie that won't damage your hair as you try to beat the summer heat. TIY will keep your hair up without budging, but also without denting or breaking your locks. No matter what hair type or thickness TIY is customizable and can accommodate everyone. Go into the summer stylish but also comfortably in the heat with TIY.
