Use mousse or hairspray to prevent flyaways when wearing your updo.
If you'll be attending a formal party soon or going to the prom, a fancy but simple updo will give instant sophistication to your look. An updated ponytail or voluminous upsweep can add to the style of dress you've chosen, and help you feel your best for this special occasion. There are also a few accents you can add to the hairstyle that can add the perfect touches for the pictures that will preserve your memory of the event for a lifetime.
Instructions
Chignon Updo
1. Brush your hair away from your face and the nape of your neck to form a low ponytail.
2. Secure the ponytail by tying a holder around the hair. Be sure the ponytail is secure, but don't pull it extremely tight, so you don't put too much pressure on the hair shafts.
3. Lightly mist your hair with hairspray to prevent frizz.
4. Divide the ponytail in half. Roll one section of the ponytail in a round shape toward the nape of your neck, so the hair begins to look like a circle. Secure the "circle" to the head with bobby pins.
5. Repeat step four for the other half of the ponytail.
6. Pump a dollop of mouse into your hands. Smooth it over the hair to make the style more uniform. Add jeweled barrettes to either side of the head for a sparkly addition.
Updo with Twists
7. Apply mousse generously to your whole head of hair, saturating the roots and tips.
8. Brush your hair until it's behind your ears. Separate a section of hair between your ear and temple, and roll this portion of hair toward your scalp to form a long twist that is close to the head. Continue twisting the section of hair toward the back of your head.
9. Secure the twist with bobby pins, and repeat step two on the other side of your head before holding the twist in place with bobby pins.
10. Gather all your hair, including the twisted sections, and form it into a ponytail. Tie the ponytail in place with a ponytail holder.
11. Wrap your ponytail around the holder in a loose bun shape, and pin the bun in place in various sections. Add flowers to either side of the bun with hair pins, or lightly mist the hair with glitter for a hint of sparkle.
