3 Summer Updos You Can Do in Under 5 Minutes

5-minute summer hairstyles

Summertime, and you know what they say about the living being oh-so-easy. Your hair should be easy, too! The best thing about summer hairstyles is that somehow the more messy and undone the finished look is, the better. Can't really beat that, can you? Here are three super easy, super fresh updos to add to the mix this summer.

Now, can someone mix me up a refreshing cocktail? ;)

Totally Twisted

1. Start off by separating your hair on one side, a little behind your ear.

2. Use a clip to hold the front section in place and out of your way.

3. Do the same thing on the other side.

4. Now, working with the back section, split it into two sections (it is okay if it is not perfectly even) and twist each section.

5. Join the two twists together and secure in place with an elastic.

6. Remove the clip from one of the sections in the front.

7. Twist the front section until you get to the ends.

8. Cross the twisted front section over the back ponytail and then secure the end of the twisted hair with a bobby pin into the previously twisted section.

9. Repeat the same steps for the other side.

10. Back comb the hair that is in the original ponytail to create a messy, fuller look.

11. Pull out some random pieces in the front to keep the look more playful and undone.

We love this take on the low pony.

Effortlessly Tousled

1. Pick up a small section of hair from the front and twist it in the direction away from your face.

2. Using a fine toothed comb, backcomb gently to create a messy curl that will stay in place.

3. Do this all throughout your hair on both sides of your head remembering to twist away from your face.

4. Gently pull your hair back in a low pony trying not to pull out the shape you just back combed in.

5. Twist the hair around until it is in a secure place to pin.

6. Using bobby pins that match your hair color, pin the twisted hair into place. Don't worry about a few stray hairs — they add to the tousled look.

7. Repeat the same steps on the other side of your head. Done!

Va va voom!

Ultimate Texture

1. Pick up a small section of hair from one side of your head leaving out some of your bangs or front section of your hair.

2. Braid that section and use a bobby pin to hold in place. You can set this braid aside for now.

3. Backcomb the back section of your hair to create volume.

4. Place another small braid on the same side.

5. Repeat the same thing on the other side of your head.

6. Pin the braid towards the back of your head in the lower back section of your head.

7. Pick up another small section of hair and this time twist it back and then pin it as well.

8. Pull all the hair from that side into a low pony in the back of your head, twist it up and secure it with a few bobby pins.

9. Now, pull the original braid you placed in the front section back and pin it in place.

10. Repeat these steps on the opposite side of you head.

11. For all those stray hairs that fell out and the section of hair you left out in the front, use a ½-inch curling iron to place tiny random curls for a contrasting texture.

12. Use your fingers to pull some of the curls a little looser for an even more textured look.

That's it!

We can't wait to lounge on the beach, go window shopping, and grab our favorite lattes this summer. After a year spent indoors, we're ready to throw our hair up and get outside. Good thing these summer hairstyles only take five minutes!

Summer rom-coms are so back! A24 confirmed on March 4 that Celine Song's Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, is coming to theaters this June and I cannot contain my excitement. The new movie follows a matchmaker (Dakota) who finds herself torn between two romantic prospects. If that's too dramatic for you, girl, I'd be happy to take your place.

Here's the latest update on Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.

Is Materialists out yet?

Materialists will premiere in theaters June 13, 2025. After Past Lives became THE summer movie in 2023 (and absolutely wrecked my roommates), I know Materialists is going to be the perfect June watch.

What is the plot of Materialists?

The movie follows Dakota Johnson's character, a matchmaker in New York City who falls for the perfect man, but can't seem to let go of her ex. Given the fact the first poster for the movie includes "save the date" and looks like a wedding cake, I'm wondering if we'll see all three characters cross paths at a wedding...

What has the cast said about the movie?

When I asked Dakota Johnson about working with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, she teased how much she enjoyed working with them. "They're both big idiots and I love them," she told Brit + Co exclusively at her Daddio premiere.

Where was Materialists filmed?

Materialists was filmed around New York City, which means the movie's going to have so much life and energy in every single shot. Plus Dakota's sundresses are totally giving Brooklyn gal — and I'm dreaming of prancing around the city in a dress as soon as the weather warms up!

Are you as excited for Materialists as I am? Let us know your favorite rom-coms in the comments and check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's new romance movie for more!

The holidays are here, and you know what that means? Holiday parties! We've armed you with party dresses, party jumpsuits, and holiday nail art ideas, but now it's time to bring the holiday style party up top. We've created three holiday-ready hairstyles that you can adorn with leaves, feathers, and branches, oh my! Follow the tutorials below to see how each of them are done. We'll also show you how to set your hair to prep it for just about any updo!

First, here are six steps to set an updo that will make every hairstyle easier to create.

1. Take the first section of hair from behind the ear to the front of your face.

2. Use Kenra 25 as a setting spray.

3. Curl with a big wand and pin in place with a duck bill or pin curl pin.

4. Continue this process until all of your hair is up in curls.

5. Let it set for 5 minutes to let the heat cool. This allows your curls to have maximum bounce and hold.

6. Pull out the pins and get ready to style!

This first look is a take on the classic updo, made way more simple. For a finishing touch, we adorned the crown of Cecelia's head with a silver leaf necklace.

1. Let your pin curls set for 5 minutes.

2. Pull out the pins and run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls.

3. Backcomb and smooth over the crown of your hair to add volume and shape.

4. Start by pinning the top section of your hair into a half up half down style.

5. Take the remaining portion of the hair and twist it into a pony.

6. Roll up the pony into a twisted knot style shape. Secure with bobby pins.

7. Add a pretty necklace or headband to make the updo more festive.

8. Smooth fly-aways with Tigi Bed Head Stick.

9. Get ready for your closeup!

Next up, this look comes straight from A Midsummer Night's Dream, braids, branches, and all.

1. Start with pin curls, and take them out.

2. Backcomb to add volume.

3. Separate hair into three sections. Braid a small piece on top of each section.

4. Twist each section of hair including the braid.

5. Twist into a bun and pin.

6. Repeat with each section.

7. Add a branch or twig using bobby pins.

8. Pucker up!

9. We love this whimsical style.

Last, the fanciest one of the bunch, combining a classic updo with punk, boho, and modern style elements.

1. Backcomb the top section to create a pomp.

2. Create the pomp and secure with bobby pins.

3. Take the hair from the section you just pinned and backcomb it to give it some more volume. Smooth with Tigi Bed Head Stick.

4. Twist the hair to create another pomp-like bun.

5. Pin in place.

6. Take the remaining hair and twist into a ponytail until it rolls up onto itself, creating a twisted bun-like shape.

7. Pin that bun!

8. Add a feather headpiece to make this look even more formal.

9. C'est magnifique!
