Less Styling is more for 2015 Updos

Actress Taylor Schilling styled her matte hair into a playfully twirled updo. She seemed to enjoy wearing this hairstyle for a red-carpet appearance. Festive styling no longer needs to be elaborate or perfect. Loosely tousled strands of hair on the crown of her head emphasise the relaxed style.

Beauty Tip: A bright red lipstick creates an interesting contrast to matte hair

Actress and singer Candice Accola and Taylor Schilling (first gallery photo) styled their hair in similar ways. Instead of twirling her hair, Candice Accola used her considerable braiding skills. Volumising powder made her hair more manageable and reduced the natural lustre.

Did you know this? Volumising powder can be used to create the matte effect. Apply volumising powder and use your fingers to work it through your entire hair

With her simple low chignon actress and singer Hayden Panettiere looked charming at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles.

Styling Instructions: Work volumising mousse through your hair before creating a side parting. Gather your hair in the nape of your neck and twist it into a chignon. Use hair pins to secure the chignon. Pull out one or two strands of hair for a casual style

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead likes to wear fringes. They give her face a soft expression. Even elaborately styled updos look more relaxed with fringes.

Tip: Longer fringes, which reach slightly beyond the eyebrows, create a particularly nonchalant style

Curls are always pretty. However, the new minimal style includes curls only as afterthought. Actress Kelsey Chow has styled her hair into an undone updo. The few stray curls create delightful accents.

Styling Suggestion: Even minimal curls are best created using a curling iron. Be sure to apply heat protectant before heat styling
