How to Give Yourself an Updo

The easiest way to give yourself a beautiful elegant updo.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• bobby pins, curling iron or rollers.

1. Make sure your hair is dirty. Dirty hair has the ability to hold better, and your natural oils keep the hair shiny and smooth.

2. Curl your hair using a curling iron, hot rollers or velcro rollers. Make sure to use a gel or mousse.

3. Start at the top of your head, leave out any hair you would like for bangs. At the sides of your head, use your pinky fingers and pull about a 1 inch section, horizontally from both the left and right side of your head. Tie the two pieces together into a knot, pin with a bobby pin.

4. Continue taking peices of hair from your sides and tying them in knots, and pin in place. Work all the way down to your nape.

5. Now you can get creative, you can leave pieces out, or tuck pieces in using your bobby pins. Spray liberally with hairspray.

Tips & Warnings

• To add ornamentation to your hair, you can use flowers, beads, ribbons, anything you can find at your local craft store. Simply hot glue these items to a bobby pin and stick it into your updo!
