Sectioning hair as you tie it up
1. Half updo
Section off about half of your hair from the top of your head, leaving some to fall around your face.
Twisting hair into a loose bun
Check that the part at the front of the section is straight across your head and then simply twist the section into a loose bun on top of your head.
How to wear long hair over 50
Secure the bun with a covered elastic. Pull the bun a little looser and use bobby pins to tuck in any stray ends.

2. Alternate half updo
Follow the same steps as in Casual Updo but instead of twisting the hair into a bun, simply secure it as a ponytail with the covered elastic. Pull the ponytail out a bit to make a waterfall effect.
Gathering hair on top of the head
3. Ballet updo
Bend over at your waist and gather all your hair together.
Loosening strands at the front of the face
Loosen some strands at the front to frame your face. Twist and wrap the ponytail around into a tight bun and secure it with a hair scrunchie.

If you want a messier look, pull sections of the bun to loosen it. You can make this bun as tight or as loose as you like.

You can also add a hair scarf to this style, either over the hair elastic or on top of your head.
