Spring is here, which means you’re booked and busy with occasions almost every weekend.If I can help it, an updo is my go-to for an occasion. It doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend brunch with your girls or an outdoor wedding, the last thing you want to worry about is if your hair getting in the way. My hair gets frizzy ASAP in the Florida humidity and I can’t risk having my Instagram pics come out crazy.

If you don’t want to deal with a whole mess of frizziness, an updo is the best style out there. An updo doesn’t have to be super fancy to pack a punch.
