A Quick and Easy Updo for Busy Fall Mornings

School is back in session, which means my mornings are spent making breakfast, packing lunches, running around looking for one or more shoes, and trying to get myself together before I walk the kids to school. And by getting myself together, I mean brushing my teeth and finding my keys. I don’t have time for much else, so I do what I can to take my jeans-and-tee look up a notch occasionally with an easy updo.

This easy updo only adds a minute or two to my normal routine. It can be worn smooth and polished (I blew my hair straight before I started) or you can opt for a messier updo style if you have some natural texture to your hair and want to rock it.  For this easy updo, just start with clean(ish), dry hair.

Trying to resist the urge to roll out of bed, shove a beanie on your head and call it a day this fall? This easy updo makes it easy to escape that dreaded static-y matted mess associated with hat hair and it leaves you feeling prepared to see others out in public!
