Michael Douglas shows us how to create a 'mega' easy, French-style updo on short hair

A screenshot of Michael Douglas and Homes' Editor, Tamara Kelly taken from an updo hairstyling video: the first image shows Michael discussing Tamara's hair, and then the next sees her updo from the back/ in a white and grey template with the mdlondon teasing brush and some hair clips.

With a few twists here and a couple of pins there, Michael Douglas shows us just how easy styling a short hairdo can really be, even where a tousled, French-style updo is concerned.

Short hair, and in particular a bob, is truly the hairstyle that keeps on giving this year, with chic and modern iterations of the classic cut constantly dominating the list of 2026 hair trends. That said, they aren't without their drawbacks, as the cropped length can make them seem quite limiting to style. Celebrity hairstylist and founder of mdlondon (home to some of the best hair dryers on the market), Michael Douglas, however, proves that an updo is still very much on the cards, and it can actually involve far less effort than styling long hair.
