updo
Hair pinned high
An updo is a hairstyle in which the hair is swept up and fastened rather than hanging down: She wore an elegant updo to the wedding.
The term covers everything from casual buns to elaborate formal arrangements.
Updos are associated with special occasions, though simpler versions serve everyday practicality.
