Josie Maran has an updo hair style that has added height in the crown area. You can create this height by inserting a clip-in hairpiece or teasing.

Several long layers and side fringe are left out to soften the hair style.
This type of updo hair style will work for formal and semi-formal occasions. You can just change accessories when switching occasions.

Jill Hennessy has a curly updo hair style that features a section of the crown area being pulled back and twisted into a min-chignon on the top of the head.
Another way to create this hair style is by using a clip-in hairpiece at the top of a high ponytail. The hairpiece offers a quick solution to a great hair style. No fuss, no mess, just a great style in minutes.
Hairpieces come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Why not try mixing in a little bit of color to contrast your natural color. The options are many.
