Updos

Items needed:Bobby Pins and barettes (optional)

 

Instructions

Step 1: Take one section of hair (about one inch in diameter) and gently make a loop from the ends (or a circle) and secure it to the scalp. I usually do this style after an old twist out, but you can try it on damp hair too.

If you plan on wearing tendrils, take them out prior to selecting the sections.

Step 2: Continue step one between 4 - 12 times. It depends on the length of your hair and how fancy you want you updo to be. More sections = a more dramatic hair do.

Step 3: Once you secure the section, use your fingers to loosen the hair. (This is hard to explain sorry).

Step 4: When you’re done, you can add pretty barrettes or hair clips to spice it up even more!


You need to determine which direction you want you hair to go in, so it makes take a few tries to get it right.

Another option:

Step 1: Leave a section of hair out at the top. If you are going to wear tendrils, now is the time to carefully pull them out.

Step 2: Fingercomb the hair towards the left side of your head.

Step 3: Place bobby pins directly down the center to pin in place.

Step 4: Overlap the hair on the right side towards the left side and gently roll it under and pin in down.

Step 5: Take that top portion from step one and roll under and secure with bobby pins.

 

Notes

• With anything it will take practice to get it right. You don't need long hair to do this. I did this style when I had 4 - 6 inches of hair.


• For shorter parts, you can use hair clamps or barrettes to hold in place. Also try doing this style after taking down your twists for a very pretty effect of waves.
