"Hi I'm Terri and in this segment I'm going to show you how to do a simple up do. This is one of my all time favorite up dos to do. When you don't have a lot of time but you want to throw your hair up and you want it to look a little fancy. So you want to gather your hair in a pony tail. So we start nice and simple. Now instead of pulling your hair through on the last turn of your pony tail, you are actually going to leave some of it in the elastic and that's going to create almost like a little bunch or bun. And then I just take a bunch of bobby pins and just start pinning my hair up in different pieces and segments. What I like about this style is every time I do it my hair looks slightly different. You want to make sure you pin some down as well. So you don't get a big bulge. And having pieces fall right down looks great too so it's got this really nice kind of messy look to it. It's really pretty. And again if you have decorative bobby pins, once with rhinestones or something you can use that. And then with the front I usually just like to maybe have a few pieces hanging. And then you just want to spritz it very lightly with hairspray because it's really nice and natural look, you don't want it hard or crunchy at all. This creates a lot of volume so this is great if you want to have really nice full up do. So there's a really nice basic up do you can do in minutes."
