New Year's Braided Updo Hairstyle Idea

Make sure you steal the spotlight at the New Year's Eve party you're attending with a fancy hairstyle. Updos are super popular hairstyles to draw inspiration from, so check out this lovely braided up style and give it a try!

With New Year's Eve just around the corner, preparations for the look should definitely become a priority as last minute decisions are bound to disappoint. Everyone wants to look fabulous on the day between the years and because hair plays a very important role when it comes to beauty and style, we've decided to feature a fabulous braided updo created by beauty and style blogger Love Maegan.

Updo hairstyles have proven their versatility and beauty boosting power, so no wonder they have become a super popular choice when it comes to formal and less formal occasions. The updos exude elegance and class being a perfect match for women who want to adopt an ultra seductive, romantic style that is hard to ignore.

If you're looking for a party-perfect DIY hairdo, grab your hair styling kit and copy this zig-zag French style braid which gives the hair a very sophisticated allure. Blogger Love Maegan demonstrates the effortless elegance exuded by the braided updo, so test your skills and start experimenting.

Obviously, this is a hairstyle that requires length and a little bit of a skill, but if you're not too great at creating a French style braid on your own, ask for the help of a skillful friend instead. This hairstyle works best if created on second-day hair, but if you want to wash your hair prior to styling, make sure you work in good texturizer to give hair more grip.

Begin by parting your hair deep on the side and separate a bigchunk of hair from the part of the head that features the heavierparting. Use a hair clip to secure the hair or an elastic and thenproceed to French braiding in a zig-zag or “S” shape pattern toachieve the desired result.
Start from one side and French braid the hair to the opposite sidegoing into a slightly downward direction. As you reach the otherside, close to the ear switch braiding the opposite side and againin a downwards motion. Repeat until you reach again the oppositeside, now finishing up the braid at the nape of the neck, well onthe side. Secure the end of the braid using a hair elastic and coilthe remaining hair up to conceal it.

After you've secured the hair with bobby pins, take the part of thehair that remained loose in the front and swish it to the side, wayaround the back and pin the ends of the hair using bobby pins. Tofinish the look and conceal the bobby pins you've already used takea large flower hair accessory and pin it over for very romantic andfeminine look that is bound to make heads turn. Set the hair withhairspray and enjoy your stylish updo hairstyle the entireevening.
