Since cutting my long hair I've found that I can do a whole lot more with it in terms of styling. No more is any attempted style weighed down by my heavy locks, now I can enjoy attempting some of my favourite up-do styles. My current favourite look is this really simple bun at the nape of the neck. It's ridiculously easy and looks so elegant. Simply pull your hair back into a pony tail at the nape of your neck, leaving the front parts pulled forward to frame the face. Then twist the pony tail into a bun and secure with a hair tie. Et voila. Effortless hair in an instant.
