Updo That Last For Days (Short, Fine Hair) / How I Put My Hair Up

Hello, my lovelies it's Nisha, so many of you keep asking me to show you how I put my hair up. I'M sure I've done various videos of me putting my hair up, but this is probably the latest way how I do it. I wear my hair up. An awful lot, I have very fine flat hair, so if I wash it and style it, it only looks nice that day. So then, for the next couple of days I put it up, but sometimes I like to just put my hair up the first day I wash it like today, I've just washed my hair, dried it, and I will show you what I do to it before. I put my hair up because, yes, I could just grab it up and put it up. As you can see, it's all flat. It'S got no body. I would just straighten this bit and I do that a lot. If I'm not filming or I'm not going anywhere, it doesn't matter, I can just put that hair saves me using any heat on it. But if I want my hair to look nicer, unfortunately, I have to do stuff to it, so I will be using the volume crimper. This is to build the scaffolding underneath for more body and I will be using straightening irons now. I will speed up through this because not long ago I did a video how I style my hair and all these steps are in that video. So I will link it here. I have actually whole playlist of all sorts of hair styling because you know we change and we style our hair differently or we find new ways of doing it on your products. So there is lots of videos in there, but I will leave you a video linked. So you can see how I get to the stage when I'm ready to put my hair up. The only difference is when I'm styling my hair for putting it up. I am not so precise with the straightener. I don't do as many sections, because it doesn't matter. I just basically want my ends to be straight and the bits around my face that will be hanging down. So just let me go around my head with this and then quickly straighten my hair, and I will be back to show you the actual, putting hair a bit foreign. Can you see how much volume that gives me straight away and I need it because then, when I put my hair up, it would be nice and big. So now I'm quickly going to straighten my hair around, especially those beads here at the front, and I will be back foreign. Can you see I've got loads of volume with that crimping underneath you need to wait for it to completely cool down not to the stair bed, but that's not all. Now I have to gently backcome the crown of my head. Yes, it's a lot of work. Don'T tell me, don't ask me to show you how I do my hair and then come and moan about it. That'S what it takes to look like it does. Okay, you will need a hairspray. I have the Paul Mitchell extra body, finishing spray. Oh, I use the Masterpiece from TG Bed Head um. I might use this one today, the brush I'm using for this I mean you can do it with backcombing comb with one of those. I'Ve got one like this. That is back on income, but I feel like this is a bit gentler, so this is um Denman brush it's a little one. I think I found it for you online somewhere, but I cannot tell online if it's small or big. I think you might say that it's petite or small, or something like that um, if you have a big one, that's fine, but this one's got like a mixture of natural and plastic bristles. So what I do I take first, the section from the back, the one that I already have crimped and I go very gently like just twice through it spray it with this spray. The thing is, it would work without me doing all this backcombing, but the problem is with my fine hair. If I don't do all this after a couple of hours, it will just all collapse on itself, so this is to last and it will last me. Finally, two days to be honest, and then this front section here, then I take beds - I'm not touching the front here, because this is gon na hang down. I just do the sides and I do them this way, because that's the way my hair is gon na. Go so I'm not backcombing underneath, so it goes this way, I'm doing at the back of the hair, because it's going to be going this way. I hope that makes sense, and then I take another section here very, very thin, because there's not much hair here, tiny bit of Hairspray. You know there could be a better way of doing this, but I'm not a hairdresser. So I do it my own way right. Beautiful, so I'm going to wait for this hairspray to dry, while I'm waiting for this hairspray to dry, I will tell you: I only use this clip now when you're choosing that clip, especially if you have fine thin hair. Like me, you need a very small clip. I will measure it later and I will put in the description box how long it is another important thing is how the teeth close. How can I show you this? Sometimes you have teeth. They'Re close like this. You can actually see them. Sticking out like this. That'S not what you want. Can you see this is they are not sticking out? They are just overlapping themselves and another thing is this hole this hole here? It has to be as small as possible because that's where your hair goes and if you choose one of these big Clips, they have a very big hole here. Your hair is just going to slip out of it. So that's if you've got fine thin hair, mind you. This is probably for people with fine thin hair, because if you've got thick hair, you wouldn't need to do all this. I got this in Claire's accessories. I don't know if they still sell them. I have about six of them because this works the best. For me, the best way is to go to a like a hair accessory shop and see it in real life to know what to buy, because it's very difficult online to to see how big the clip is. Yes, they might give you the length of it, but you don't know how big the hole is. If I still find it on Claire's, I will put it in the description box. Okay, this is dry now very gently. I'M going to brush it down just to smooth the top of it, brushing it sort of back, and now I can see that this is a bit flat, that I can put it a bit more backcombing here. I know it's very strategic. That'S how I do everything. My makeup i j whenever I trim my hair actually, my Fringe has gone a bit long. I need to trim that again. I just look at it and I look where things need to be fixed. That is some hair. Isn'T it okay lioness? I have to wait for this to dry now, oh again, while I'm waiting for it to dry my haircut, my hair is all one length but, as you can see, is shaped from the face. So you know from about here and then I likely been cutting this baby little Fringe for myself, and I have a video on that as well. So have a look in that, I will link you the video, how I style my hair like this and then underneath. I will link the whole playlist of my hair styling and you will see in me cutting baby Fringe and I like to have my hair shaped. It suits my face shape anyway, but also if this was all one length and this hair is the thinnest as well on me, and I put my hair up and leave this bit down. They would just hang like two strings. You know, whereas, when you have a bit of shape, it looks better right again. This brush is really good, because if you just go very gently done brush through it really hard, so you brush out that um back combing and everything it'd be mess at the back. But that doesn't matter because we, obviously if I was leaving it down, I would go to another mirror and sort it out, but we are not leaving it down. Okay, I'm ready, so I'm already leaving these shorter beds that you can see. I'M grabbing my hair into sorts of a low ponytail, so this is very important. Don'T grab your hair all up like this? It has to go down on the sides like this make sure this is all smells, so you grab it like this into a ponytail, and now I am going to twist it a couple of times and clip it, and then you turn around. You can then hold this here. I hope you can see it open your clip and push it even higher. That will give you even bigger, and then you just try to arrange it. I sometimes pull my little bits off her here, smooth this. I didn't do it that well, because I wasn't looking in the mirror. I was looking. I turned around right yeah and that's it that's all I do. I don't know what it looks like at the back. Frankly, I don't give a damn, because I'm not looking at myself from the back. I just care about the front. So that's how I do it and you see you saw me at the beginning when I, without doing anything to my hair, when I pulled it up, it was all flat here. So I do this another way. Sometimes you might see my my little ends of the hair sticking out here so the first day, because my hair is so fluffy and all that scaffolding is there. I can do it just like that, and it's very secure because of that scaffolding tomorrow. It might still be okay. This scaffolding might be still there, but sometimes it isn't. You know I've slept on it. Maybe the weather was a bit wet so um. I lost that scaffolding the next day. I do it with a elastic, so I make a ponytail. I bring it up and then I secure it with the clip, because when I have ponytail in my hair I can then pull out bits of hair to make it bigger, because this one look as nice. I don't think tomorrow, like it does from the beginning. So I actually filmed myself on another day when my hair was like second or third day and it's gone flatter, and I will show you in that video how I do it with the elastic band. So have a look at that hi. This is the future me. So this is my third day hair. Now, as you can see from all that's what I did discovered in the call me back coming, it still has lots of volume. Another reason for that is that I had my Roots done not long ago and every time you bleach your hair, it swells up, and it has more body anyway. Also I don't ever brush the top of my hair from the moment. You know I first style it when I go to bed. I don't brush that at all, because I don't want to brush out um the body, the scaffolding I just brush my ends. I haven't brushed my hair. This is how I woke up. I did my makeup. So I suppose, because of that, I could still do it the same way. You see it still works, but I will show you how I do it with the ponytail, because, as soon as my roots get a bit longer, my hair gets flatter and that scaffolding doesn't hold for as long, and I would definitely have to do this. So I take one of these elastics and again that clip I very gently brush the top. I don't go right in and then I'm going to the same way I'll leave some hair here. Um brushing this hair down again, remember not to brush it up, we're not doing like a ponytail on the top of our head, but I'm going to bring it a bit higher. You know, with the other one I put the ponytail really low. This is going a bit higher, I'm still trying to maintain this bump. Here I will put this in a ponytail quite tight, and now I am going to tighten it while I'm moving the ponytail up. Can you see now you see this is too tight. Now I'm holding this so not all my hair falls out and I'm going to start pulling the hair out a bit. So it's not so tight on this side and then I tighten it again because, while you're pulling the hair is gon na come out, it's gon na get looser and you know, if I didn't have that scaffold it there, calling it scaffolding um, it would look flat. So that scaffolding is most important now I push that ponytail up and I still clip it with this to hold it tight, otherwise that ponytail, you know with weight um throughout the day we would go down - and this is how you often see me with this - like A palm tree pineapple sticking out here, I like it to be Lucy now not too overdone, and I look terrible with really flat hair to my head, because I've got very small head there. So that's how I do it with with elastic band. So, as you can see, I can wash my hair every three days. This hair will probably still look okay tomorrow, but this is because I have quite fresh highlights done. You know my roots, so my head doesn't get too greasy too quickly and it doesn't collapse. It'S swollen, you know the bleach swells it up, so it has more volume. Okay back to the past me, so this is how I put my hair up. All of it is a lot of work, but unfortunately, when you have hair like mine - and you want to want it to look always done, that's what you have to do. Well, I do it anyway. I hope you found this video helpful and you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching and stay fabulous. Bye.
