Curling Hair for an Up-Do

Video Transcript

"LAUREN FARRAHER: My name is Lauren, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to talk to you about curly hair updos that you can do at home. Now, as you can see, I've already started curling Ashley's hair in order to prepare for her curly hair updo. I'm doing a little bit of a looser diameter 'cause she wants something that's just a little bit of a wave, not necessarily tousled. So I'm going to go through with one section, put some spray, go through, smooth with the spray, grab your curling iron, pick it up, wrap it around. This is a little bit more time consuming. This isn't something that you're going to do for your everyday look. This is something that you're going to do for those nights out, say, if you don't have the money to go to a professional or if you just don't have the time and if you just want to try to do something on your own. You're going to keep separating it, giving it a little bit of spray. What the spray is going to do is just kinda help hold the look. It's going to help the curl stay. It's going to help with the smoothness and it just, overall, just going to help the hair maintain the curl throughout the rest of the night or evening. So you're just going to keep curling it until you have all your ponytails done. The more concentrated you want your hair to be and if you want to be concentrated more on one spot, you'd only have to do two different ponytails. The less room, I guess, you want to cover on your scalp, the more--the less ponytails you'll need. If you wanted to, you could use one ponytail and work off of that. I want to do something that's a little bit more romantic, a little bit more elegant. So that's why I separated the hair into three. So that way, surface space-wise, I can cover more of the back of her head here rather than her updo being concentrated into one specific area."
