Q. i have thin hair, but alooot of it and its loosly curly. since leaving it down is a chore, what are some cute easy and stylish updos i could do? Wearing my hair in a side ponytail and side braid is getting old haha :)
Answer
You've got thin hair, avoid Heat & Chemicals = hair's worst enemies.
But, you can make your hair thicker, see Kris Jenner - Kim's mom, how she does that! She set her top layers of hair in plastic curlers - had been seen working away @ home or office with 6 curlers on. Blow dry. Let them cool. Take the curlers out. Tousle with your hands and you're good to go! Simple!
Myth: You can't make flat, fine hair look full of body.
Truth: Five minutes with a set of large hot rollers will add life to straight hair.

HOW TO STYLE MEDIUM HAIR:
Do a classic side part and keep hair down all day.
Pull back big curls to show off your pretty face, by using headbands.
Flip up the ends, a la Mary Tyler Moore.
Make your undo as unique as your color.
Tease that crown. Smooth, headband, done.
Go for long layers and a natural-looking shade of brown, the girl next doo 'do!
Try an overside Material Girl-inspired bow.
Pony up. Can't go wrong with this simple style.
Give ruby red hair a sophisticated twist front, make a bun on the back.
Tuck two cornrows into a neat little bun.
Tie on a ribbon. Blair Waldorf would approve!
Creat a cutesy side-swept fishtail braid.
Bring on the Technicolor to update a retro look.
Try DIY hair accessories - no rules apply!
Weave ribbon into a braided headband.
Wear a chill beanie and let your hair be.
Mix leave-in conditioner and alcohol-free gel to style springy, crunch-free curls. Wear a fedora hat.
Do you like the movie the Hunger Games? I haven't seen it, but I saw it briefly during their trailer. My hairstyle (for weeks) came from the movie, and have seen them last week during Dancing with the Stars. Dayana Mendoza the Miss Universe, recently on the Apprentice had that same hairstyle, & recently Florence Welch wore her hair during the Met Gala. Google her. Took about 10 mins. to do, use bobby pins to secure the braids to your head. Magazines called that the Goddess look or the Halo crown. I've seen it in The Savages. Kelly Osborne wore it during Fashion Police 10-8-12.
THINK BIG: The new blowout is all about big, bouncy volume. Start blow-drying hair with a large barrel brush, set in loose pin curls for 10 minutes, then shake out until ends are wavy.
Grunge rock and roll meets retro punk - example Kristen Stewart @ the MTV Award. Sexy, textured and undone hair.
Soft updos and silk scarves at Dolce & Gabbana. The summery hair at Dolce was anchored by beautiful printed scarves that hairstylist Guido Paulo wrapped around textured, pulled-apart updos. He started by rough-drying the models' hair with mousse before pinning it into an updo that was "not really a twist, not really a knot, just exactly how a Sicilian woman would pin her hair up," he said. To keep the headband from looking severe, Paulo left a few centimeters of the hairline exposed, covered the very tops of the ears with the scarf, and tied it on the side.
Messy knots at Marni. The inspiration for this look was Saturday-morning errands. In other words, "a bad ponytail," said hairstylist Paul Hanlon. "Itâs very organic, very realâalmost like a [model] coming in for a fitting." Before blow-drying, he applied Tigi Bed Head Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray to add grip and volume. He created a side part, then swept hair across the forehead and gathered it into a ponytail at the nape of the neck. He split the tail in two, teased both sides, and secured a loop using U-shaped pins. He smoothed down the sides with Elnett to refine it a bit.
HOW I STYLED MY HAIR IN HS with past the shoulder length to long hair?
My hair cut was below my boobs, until I grad. from HS it went down to my waist. I have various styles for my hair, didn't have bangs then.
1. I parted them in the middle, had two baby pony tails right where the top of my ears, and they fall to the front, while the rest of my hair hang loose on the back. I also curled the ends under, using plastic curlers (when I go to sleep).
2. Other times, I braided my hair after they're washed, so they're curly for days! I have about 6 sections that was braided so the curls are tighter. In the morning, when I take the braids out, finger comb so they don't get frizzy.
3. Do the Pocahantas bun. Divide your hair vertically in 2. Coil the top section, using bobby pins. Let the other bottom half loose.
4. Add hairsticks to your bun, instead.
5. Coil the top, coil the bottom section.
6. Braid the top coil, bun it. Let the rest fall out.
7. Add hair sticks to the braided bun.
I can do 7 different styles per week (even now). The idea is to experiment, practice the night before, so you can easily do them by morning. Takes me 2-10 mins. to style my knee length hair. I've posted 98 on Facebook.

(ps my hair is long)
Answer
You can do a really preety kind of curly messy bun, with two stands hanging in the front framing your face. you could also pull back all of the hair on the top and sides of your hair, then pinning it back in a braid, plait or just pin it all back and leaving the rest down, and if done correctly it will stay behind your back, showing off your red hair.
