If you think your hair is too short for a Mother of the Bride Updo, think again. Stylists can work magic by finding creative ways to keep shorter styles up. For example, with this beautiful Mother of the bride, the hairdresser used twists to keep the shorter layers secure, while adding some texture and dimension to the hairstyle.
This chic, low chignon is highlighted by loose wisps of hair that fall gently at the sides, giving this Mother of the Bride a romantic look. Many mature women have this type of relaxed updo over tightly pulled back hair since that can look severe and emphasize fine lines and wrinkles.

A pretty updo with bangs is also a beautiful look. This messy bun says, casually elegant and modern.
