casual messy updos for every day

Casual and messy updos are usually the go-to hairstyle for special events and fancy parties because they’re elegant and classy and absolutely gorgeous. But they’re also great everyday hairstyles because they’re pretty and at the same time functional–no annoying hair everywhere that gets in the way as you go about your day. And while a glamorous chignon or an elaborate milkmaid braid may not be a good idea for casual strolls or your usual day at school or work, there are a lot of chic but simple and easy updos you can turn to.
