Quick Updo How To

If there's one thing I'm good at googling, it's "quick and easy updos." Unfortunately I never seem to find quite what I'm looking for. Sometimes I have good luck with doing my hair, and other times I definitely do not. For Rich and Lisa's rehearsal dinner, I didn't really have a plan of how I wanted to do my hair, I just knew I wanted it up. Then I ended up throwing a style together in under 5 minutes that I've now duplicated multiple times since. If you're not that impressed by the pictures, that's understandable, I'm not really either. But maybe it will at least give you an idea next time you want to try your hair up, and hopefully looks even better on you ;)

Straightener, comb, bobby pins, hair spray and spin pins (love these things)

I curl my hair first to add texture

Tease the hair at the crown of the head using your comb (this is my favorite part)

Hair spray generously

Gather the top, teased section of your hair (maybe only a third of your hair) and 

lightly twist the back to keep it in place. Make Snooki proud.

Use 2 bobby pins to hold the top section in place

Gather the rest of your hair and start twisting it to the left side of your head to 

either put in a round or messy bun

Decide how you want it to look from the front and leave some of the hair loose

Spin the pins into your bun to hold it in place (or just bobby pins would do,

but these are so much easier!)

Add a couple more bobby pins for hair placement if necessary

Curl, tease and position loose hair on the side as desired then add as much hair

spray as your little heart desires to secure the look. Don't forget to add some

sparkly earrings! And you're done!

{tip: if you plan on wearing something that is difficult to put on over your head, make sure you do that first before doing your hair}

Hopefully that gives you a little inspiration for a future hairstyle my pretties!

Have a fabulous day!
