My (bootleg) updo...pics

[Southernbella.]

So, I had something to go to with my dh and I wanted to do an updo, but I had no idea what to do. I threw something together and it turned out ok in the front, but the back looked like some hot dog buns.You know what though? I rocked it like I was doing something.


First, I cowashed. Then, I put my hair in a ponytail to stretch it out overnight.

Then, I separated my hair into two sections, one on top and one on bottom.

Then, I curled the top section with my old Gold n Hot

Then, I started bobby-pinning the top part back. I then curled the bottom section and bobby-pinned it up and to the side until it all stayed in place.

Side:

Back

Here's me and dh that night...he was exhausted, poor baby

So there you have it. My updos need work, but I was happy with what I did because I really didn't want to straighten it. As my hair gets longer, I'll be able to do some actual bun styles, which will look a lot better.

@ lopsided! I so feel you. I like the little side piece, but I can see how it would look lopsided to others.Especially kids who are brutally honest. Thank you for the compliment.

That is too cute!!!! Girl, the backs of my updos usually look a lil different too - I figure practice will make perfect....

I say this with love - It looks crazy as hell

BUT, you look gorgeous and of course your hair is thick and beautiful

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I also wanted to say you should keep practicing. Don't wait for your hair to get longer. You can do gorgeous styles now. You weren't too far off the mark on the style you did yesterday. It's funny how beautiful people make things look beautiful
