Spring and flowers romanticizing together, here’s how you can manage the perfect flower updo in a few simple steps:
- Prep damp hair by applying on some voluminous mousse or spray to give your hair the texture it needs.
- Dry your hair using a blow dryer and a diffuser. Create volume (especially in the hairline area) by using your fingers. Move them side to side while occasionally lifting the roots.
- Curl the hairline or crown section of your hair with a ½ inch curling iron. This will give movement and volume to your hair.
- For more texture, spray on dry shampoo like Redken’s Powder Refresh 01 and then separate the curls.
- Create a center part and then separate the hair into two horizontal sections from ear to ear. You’ll end up with an upper and lower section.
- First work on the top section: loosely gather this section and pin it on the occipital bone or middle of your head.
- Next, take the lower section and then loosely braid it. Once you’ve done the braid, twist it into a chignon (make it lie flat) and then pin it in place at the nape, keeping the hair from the top section underneath so it looks like one seamless style.
- For a softer, more romantic look, loosen strands in your hairline with your fingers.
- Finish this look by adding the flowers.
