For the most part, fashion editorials tend to stick to beautiful blowouts and long, luscious waves when it comes to photo shoots, but this gallery of mind-blowing updos highlights the exceptions.
From the pages of some of the most renowned and respected fashion magazines in the world, to the runways in Paris, Milan, London and New York, updos seem to be taking the fashion industry by storm.
Whether you're a pro at mastering the sophisticated high ponytail, elegant chignon, or even the hair bow that Lady Gaga made so popular, or you tend to steer clear of complicated updos in favor of simple waves or natural curls, this gallery of mind-blowing updos will make you want to experiment with your hair.
