Why this worksUpdos keep hair off your neck and face, making them ideal for warmer weather. They also allow for creative styling, adding height and sophistication to your look. By mastering a few techniques, you can transform your hair quickly and easily for a polished finish.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a light mousse or volumising spray to add texture and grip, making it easier to style your updo.
  2. Create a Base Gather your hair into a loose ponytail at the desired height. Secure it with a hair tie, but keep it loose to allow for more movement in the updo.
  3. Twist and Pin Twist sections of the ponytail and wrap them around the base. Use bobby pins to secure the twists in place, ensuring it feels sturdy but not too tight.
  4. Finish with Hairspray Lightly mist your updo with a flexible hold hairspray to keep everything in place while allowing movement. Feel free to pull out a few tendrils for a softer look.

Where people go wrong

People often make their ponytail too tight, which can lead to discomfort and a stiff look. Another common mistake is not using enough product for hold, causing the style to fall flat. Lastly, forgetting to secure loose strands can lead to a messy finish instead of an elegant look.

The pro moveFor added elegance, consider incorporating decorative hairpins or flowers to enhance your updo.
