The 5-Minute Headband Updo We're Wearing to Every Event from Now On

A super-pretty, party-ready hairdo that requires little to no skill? Yup, that’s the dream. Luckily for us, this wrapped-headband look checks all those boxes.

Step 1: Place a thin elastic headband over your hair about an inch from your hairline.

Step 2: Starting from the top, begin wrapping and tucking small sections of hair around the headband, adding more hair as you work down past your ears.

Step 3: Repeat on the other side.

Step 4: Continue to wrap until all loose ends are tucked away. (Tip: You can use bobby pins for any super-short baby hairs that won’t stay put.)
