Tousled Tucked-in Braid Updo

Classic French Twist
An everyday wear updo that looks incredibly chic is the french twist. Gather all your hair in a twist, and lay it vertically from the neck to the back of your head to make this hairdo.

Half-up Twist
If you want to spice up letting your hair down, the half-up twists which add a layer of dimension can be your new best friend.
To create this claw-clip hairstyle, grab thin sections of hair on either side of your parting, twist them lightly and overlap the two sections down to the nape of your neck to secure with a small clip.
Half-up Half-down Bun Updo
One of the most stylish uses of the claw clip is to make a half-up half-down bun updo.
Take the frontal section of your hair to secure it into a twisted messy high bun and leave the rest of it loose to flaunt your long locks.
Twisted Bun
