Easy Do It Yourself Updo – Look Elegant Everyday
Your hair is undoubtedly one of the most versatile parts of your body, and its mere appearance can make or break the look you want to achieve. Whether it’s just for work or school or a crazy night out, there are different hair styles for different occasions.
Sometimes, when I’m feeling a bit experimental, I try on different looks just to see if there is one look that suits a particular occasion. While there are no hard and fast rules for it, I found that nothing suits gala and black-tie events more than an updo. Don’t believe me? Then look at all those red carpet pictures of celebrities. In almost 9 out of 10 pictures, women had their hair styled in some variant of an updo.
What they have, and common people like us don’t, is the luxury of having enough money to pay for stylists. After all, when it really comes down to it, would you spend your hard-earned cash just to make you look good for one night and then starve for the next few weeks?
This is why it is important to learn how to make an updo by yourself. Not only will it save you money, you can experiment and choose which updo will look good on you. One simple updo I find easy to do looks like an elegant double bun. To do this, split your hair from above the right ear to above the other ear. Hold that part in place while smoothing out the remaining hair. Now (you may need some styling products for this) roll your hair towards your scalp, as if you were wrapping it around a roller. Secure it to your scalp with pins. Do the same with the remaining hair.
See how easy it is? Of course, it will take some practice before you fully perfect the Do It Yourself Updo, but you have all the time in the world. Experiment and find your inner stylist.
