Updo
Any style in which long hair is lifted up and fixed on the head, away from the neck.
Also: up-do
An updo is any style that gathers long hair up off the shoulders and secures it, from a simple bun to the most elaborate bridal arrangement. Updos are built with ponytails as anchors, backcombing for volume, pins to fix them, and braids, twists and rolls for detail. They have marked adulthood or marriage in many cultures, and they suit formal occasions and hot weather. Most need hair at least to the shoulders.
