Add More Oomph ...

Hold your hair up at the roots with straight clips and then blow dry it this way. When your hair is slightly dry but still damp, add Velcro rollers then blow dry. This will give you updo more body and oomph that your hair needs to last the night.

Let Your Hair Shine ...

For a glossy finish, spray your updo with a fine mist hair. For those tiny hairs that seem out of place, don’t worry – use a fine mist hair spray and spray it on a fluffy make up brush especially saved for this and brush lightly over your updo hair. Brush lightly – this will smooth the hair out without ruining your updo.

A Fast Change for Your up-do ...

Tired of your regular updo? No problem! Just change your updo with parts. Part it on the sides, middle or even at an angle. You can also add edginess to your hairstyle by parting your hair zigzag.

Day Old Hair is Best ...

It is best to do an updo with a day old hair. If you need to wash your hair, just shower but don’t shampoo. If you’ve just shampooed your hair and it’s too soft and flyaway – you’d want to spray an anti-static spray to keep your hair in place. Or, you can do it the Angelina Jolie way, which is to smooth a dryer sheet over the hair from roots to the ends.

Keep It Soft ...

For a more romantic look – leave long wispy layers around your face to soften up your features. Super tight bun tends to remind people of the stereotypical grade school principal – you wouldn’t want that do you?

7

Keep It Light ...

Having highlights added around the face will brighten your complexion. This will give the illusion of a halo when light is directed to your face. This is great for a romantic dinner especially when done in a candlelit setting.

8

Keep It Balanced ...

Do you know that our eyes are not exactly the same size? If they are noticeably different in size, create the illusion of balance and symmetry by positioning your side part over the smaller eye. This will make your eyes seem symmetrical.

9

Dress up Your up-do ...

Do not be afraid to dress up your updo with jewelries and other accessories – especially if you’re outfit and the occasion call for it. Do not go overboard, though; remember to keep your accessories to a minimum.

10

Practice Makes Perfect ...

Especially for parties planned weeks ago, do a “hair rehearsal” and try out different types of updos. You can do different updos per day and take a picture of yourself – front and back view of course.
Practice Makes Perfect ... Up-dos are not just for “bad hair days”. Learning how to create the perfect updo can get you through picnic in a park to ballroom dancing on New Year’s Eve. There are a lot of ways to do an updo but it is important to learn the basic updo first. When you have mastered the basic, then you can go wild and do an outrageous and over-the-top hairstyle!
