Beautiful Easy Updo

Have you wanted to fix your shoulder-length hair into a pretty updo this Summer? Here's how to do that without going to a salon. You can have a cute hairdo in about an hour.

Supplies

For this hairdo you will need:

Hot rollers or curling iron, ponytail holder, plastic hairbun shaper (I purchased mine from a dollar store, it was about $3), comb, bobby pins, hairspray.

Curl Hair

Using hot rollers or curling iron, curl hair. The more curls, the better!

You could also use the pink foam rollers, but those take longer.

Ponytail

Comb your hair up into a high ponytail and secure tightly with a coated ponytail holder. Do not use a rubber band, it will tear the hair. Pin up any loose hairs with bobby pins.

Chignon Form

Because I have very thin hair, I like to use this lightweight chignon form to wrap my hair around, it makes my hair look fuller. You can get one in a darker color if your hair is dark brown or black.

Place a small amount of hair around the plastic form, tuck underneath and pin in place. Continue around the form, leaving most of the hair unpinned.

Tease Hair

Tease the remaining hair with your comb.

Pin and Spray

Using more bobby pins, pin the teased hair loosely to the base of the updo. Spray liberally with hairspray.

Embellish with a ribbon or silk flower.
