Have you ever struggled to learn some updos for short hair? With so many gorgeous updo ideas available online, the strong majority are for long hair. This can be maddening for short-haired beauties, who deserve to have some hairstyle versatility just as much! Fortunately, there are plenty updos for short hair – they just take a bit more effort and, in some cases, a lot more hair pins.
Fun And Lovely Updos for Short Hair
Check out these 60 ideas below when you’re looking for some seriously gorgeous short hair inspiration.
#1: Easy Bridal Updo
For this style, all you need to do is to section off the top layer of hair above the ears and secure it with a clear hair elastic. Gather the rest of the hair into a low ponytail, and then pass the end of the lower pony through the centre of the top section above the elastic. Pin it in place and you’re done!
#2: Romantic Updo for Bob Length
This beautiful, elegant ‘do can be achieved on short, straight hair. Of course, it can look lovely on curly hair, too. If your hair is straight, style it into springy curls, using a curling iron. Slightly backcomb on the crown. Sweep hair into a deep side part and then grab random sections and pin into place at the nape of the neck and above. Curl any wisps or strands that do not make it into the gathered pin.
#3: Top Knot Sock Bun
Sock buns are incredibly popular, but can be tricky for short hair. The best method is not to stress about perfectly sleek, held-together locks. Instead, embrace the “messy” method, as it adds both modern style and needed volume to short, straight hair.
#4: Pineapple Updo for Short Hair
Creating an intricate-looking updo hairstyle is a great way to add dimension and style to short hair. This cute sassy updo is a combination of twists and loops with ends sticking out playfully, like pineapple leaves.
#5: Three Twisted Buns
This hairstyle is often found in tutorials for long locks, but actually it looks and works better on shoulder-length hair! Simply pull the hair into three low ponytails and then twist into buns. Secure with pins and “push up” on the buns to get some back volume. Don’t worry about any tousled strands – this hairstyle can’t really be screwed up.
#6: Dutch Braid Updo for Short Hair
Braid a dutch braid – which is just an inside out French braid. When you reach the ends of your locks, you’ll need to hide the tail. Tuck it under the braid and pin with a few bobby pins. Add some pretty side bangs or loosely curled hair strands to soften up the look.
#7: Hair Knot French Braid Hawk
This is one of the easiest hairstyles for short hair, although it comes out as one of the most intricate-looking. To achieve this look, just tie knots in your hair! Work your way as far down as you can go and then tuck the ends in with bobby pins.
#8: Knot Tie Updo for Short Hair
Pretty and reminiscent of Heidi hair, this style is all grown up and ready for any occasion. It consists of a knot tie side braid and a twist at the back. Wonder how it’s put together? Check the step-by-step tutorial!

#9: Volume-Boost Ponytail
Short locks always need that extra boost of volume, even if your hair is thick. Divide your hair into three sections, creating a low ponytail with the center one. Pull it tight, pin and layer the side sections on top, securing with bobby pins.
#10: Ponytail Poof Updo for Short Hair
Teasing the roots of your hair, you can add volume and style to otherwise flat and too-short strands. Don’t forget to add in a pretty hair embellishment like a blinged-out clip or a sweet satin ribbon. This look is vintage and lovely.
#11: Top Knot for Short or Thin Hair
Teasing the hair at the top of your head can add volume, too. This messy look is actually quite glamorous, while still casual enough for a day on the beach. The trick is not to worry about perfection – let hair lay where it likes, spraying and pinning into the natural curves and swoops of your locks.
#12: Braided Ponytail Updo for Shorter Hair
Again taking a cue from the modern messy hair style department, French braid either one or both sides of your hair and pull everything into a low ponytail. Your hair will look even more gorgeous if you have highlights or other multi-faceted hair color accents – the braids will really show them off.
#13: Volumized Ponytail
When you’re looking for a quick and simple updo, grab the hairspray. Utilize some light backcombing, spraying and pinning down in strategic spots. Hair that is shorter than shoulder length can still look creatively gorgeous!
#14: Faux Updo for Short Hair
Hair accessories can seriously add so much fun to short hair. In this instance, a satin scarf is the focal point. Pinning your hair up and wrapping it with a scarf, top knotting and spraying with setting spray is a great way to get a quick, glamorous look that is perfect for both a night out and a day catching up on chores at home.
#15: Twist and Pin Messy Updo
How’s this for simple? Twist and pin – that’s it! There’s no rhyme or reason to this hairstyle, just make it your own and get on with your day.
#16: Easy Holiday Updo for Short Hair
Easy and extremely pretty on short hair, this sweet holiday look will work best on thin straight hair. Twist a center section, spray and secure. Repeat and tuck to finish off this style.
#17: Sweet Knotted Updo
Like the three-bun twist earlier on our list, this hairstyle has the same idea, but takes things a bit more casual. Divide the hair into three low ponytails and then twist each section until the hair is twisted tightly enough to collapse upon itself. Pin in place and spray with setting spray.
#18: 60s-Inspired Pony Updo For Shorter Hair
Backcomb the top underneath portion of the hair and then pull all of it into a low ponytail. Grab a small under section of the ponytail and twist around the hair elastic, pinning in place. This hides the elastic from sight while giving your hair the signature voluminous look of the 1960s.
#19: Summertime Updo
Here’s another style that throws us back to decades gone by. It takes your hair completely up and off the neck, making it ideal for hot summer weather. Roll some vintage curls with your fingers and pin in place to add some femininity, reminiscent of the 1930s era.
#20: Twists In Updo For Short Natural Hair
Natural ethnic hair can be a bit coarse and unruly, which means putting it up is much easier than working it down. For this style, twist sections all over the head, and then pin in place. Wrap the hair with a colorful scarf and secure in a top knot.
#21: Gorgeous Workout Updo
Updos are not always for fancy occasions – you can rock them at the gym, too. French braid the sides and pin together in the back for hair that is up and out of the way without being in a humdrum ponytail.
#22: Bantu Knots Updo for Short Hair
Bantu knots are a unique take on updos for natural hair. You can get this hairstyle professionally done, or you can try it at home. The trick is to get concise sections and very tight knots. The day after, thinner hair will get a bonus effect – cute curly texture.
#23: High Top Bun
Give the illusion of Ionger hair with a stylish ballerina-inspired top bun. Make a tight pony on the crown. Tease the ends for added volume, let them settle around the base and secure with pins where it’s needed. This look can be worn for a formal affair, as it ensures the pulled back hair in a slick and smooth updo, while the bun itself appears softly romantic thanks to its texture.
#24: Vintage Hair Tuck Updo for Short Hair
Another retro updo for short hair is gorgeous on platinum blonds or other extreme colors. You’ll want straight, day-old hair for this one, or else it might turn into a tangled, complicated stress of tresses.
#25: Elegant Updo for Formal Events
Here’s a great updo idea for hair that falls above the shoulders. Use a curling iron to curl all your locks. Add a bit of hairspray for texture. Pin the front strands out of the way, and bring up some of the bottom strands, too.
#26: Ethnic Hair Updo for Short Hair
Ethnic hair is not only uniquely gorgeous on its own, it’s also capable of some incredible styles not afforded to finer-haired girls. Use a combination of a hair product, sectioned combing and a back twist for this intricate, cutting-edge look.
#27: Upside Down Braid
And one more updo for stretched natural hair of a shorter length. Make two flat twists at the back and a sort of pompadour for the front stction. This style works great for school, a day at the office or at the gym.
#28: The Triple Twist Updo for Short Hair
Sometimes the best hairstyles come by accident, which is how the triple twist updo for short hair was created. Pull, swoop and pin – don’t stick to a particular pattern or direction – just go wild, spraying and securing as you go.
#29: Red Carpet-Ready Natural Hair Updo
Natural hair can just be so much fun, as was exemplified by actress Teyonah Parris at a recent red carpet event. Get a durable comb, part your hair into sections and roll them into faux-buns.

As simple as can be, all you need for this hairstyle is damp, short hair and a bit of time on your hands. Brush the hair straight back and grab a small front section.

Sometimes the right solution for short locks is just something super simple and lovely.

It’s fancy enough to be worn at a formal event, but also cute to simply wear it on a casual night out with friends. For this style, you need a tapered haircut with longer layered strands on the top. When styling, get a horizontal braided section that will divide the straight lower strands and messy curls on the top.
#42: Crown Braid for Short Hair
This elegant braid isn’t too easy to be qualified as a DIY hairstyle, but for a special occasion you should definitely find a stylist who can do it for you. It works even better if the braided strands are of a slightly lighter or contrasting color, as in the photo here. The two-tone braid looks simple but creative and fancy at the same time.

The tutorial is simple: braid a headband, starting from your side part, backcomb the crown section and pin the ends of your locks at the nape in a sort of a pretty bun. If your hair is straight, you will want to curl the ends before you pull them back.
#46: Curly Updo with a Floral Headband
This highly romantic pretty look can work for as a wedding hairstyle for a bridesmaid. It looks fresh and easy to do, but it’s important to preserve its messy feel when re-creating it.

#48: Short Messy Updo with Headband Braid
This lovely ‘do looks better on lighter hair, as you can see, but if you really like it, then don’t let your black hair hold you back, just get it. It’s ideal for a short bob. Start with a braided section that runs from your side parting to the other side. Style some large curls with a straightener, tousle them and set with hair spray. It’s one of the coolest updo styles for slightly longer hair. It can work both as a casual hairstyle for work or a formal ‘do for a special occasion.
#49: Messy Knots and Side Undercut
As you can see, this is a lovely style to complement some of more unconventional personal touches, such as little back-of-the-neck tattoos and so on.

Again a more complicated look with several layers, this style is a masterpiece of different braided patterns, all tied up together into a cute and creative updo. The distinctive element is the volume in the front, as well as the loose braided section on top. The triple thin twists on the sides are a cute detail that adds complexity, so don’t skip them.
Gone are the days when short-haired girls were left out of all the hair styling fun. Instead, those with shoulder-length hair and even shorter can sport a wide variety of updos for short hair that look lovely, glam and completely planned out – even when sometimes they aren’t!
