2 Easy Updos!

Hey guys welcome back so today's videos on to it really simple but really elegant. Looking up dudes they're perfect for homecoming or any other special occasion that you have coming up the first one is more of a romantic upswept. Look each updo took me under 15 minutes to achieve so they are, like I said, super duper easy to achieve. The second one is more of a bohemian look, and this one literally took me five minutes say what so, I'm gon na go ahead and jump into the tutorial. If you guys want to see how to do these, two really simple updos and then please keep watching. So this is what my hair looks like when it just naturally air dries. I'M just gon na take the top portion of my hair and it twists up and just pin it out of the way. So we can curl the bottom layer, I'm gon na go ahead and just brush out any extra tangles that I have going on, because I want to make sure that I don't curl any tangles into my hair cuz. That'S not a cute! Look! I'M using my irresistible me, eight and one staff eye or curling wand, I'm taking the third-biggest rod and I'm gon na go ahead and just curl my hair. I am NOT focusing on making these curls perfect. All'S I need is a little bend to my hair. A little bit of wave, because this look will be a lot easier for you. If you have a little bend and a little bit of texture in your hair, so just go through your hair and curl. It really quickly. Don'T spend too much time making your curls perfect, because that is not what this look is about. This look is about just kind of romantic messy, wavy, sexiness yep, and now that I'm reaching the top portion of my hair, I'm trying to get my curl as close up to my scalp as I can cuz, I really want to see that texture in my crown Area and on the top portion of my hair, I really like the way that the waves look when they're super close to your head with a smaller curling iron, because it just looks more romantic and messy that way, I'm also alternating curls every which way. So there's no rhyme or reason like I said it's just kind of whatever. So this is what your hair is gon na. Look like really crazy and nuts for a second, so don't freak out and I'm gon na go back through and brush the curls out. Like I said, all's we need is a little bit of texture. They don't have to be perfect. Now I'm taking it my big sexy hair hair powder - and I'm just gon na put this in my roots, to give us a little bit of extra texture. The main thing to remember with updos is you need texture to make it work. It'S just gon na make things so much easier to place and so much easier to maintain that volume and maintain your up through throughout the night. You need that texture to just hold it in place. So now I'm adding a little bit of backcombing through my hair and giving myself a little bit of volume up next, I'm just gon na separate my crown area away from my face, so I don't get it mixed up with the front part of my hair. So I'm just clipping that back with a big clip and leaving about two inches out in the front for my bang area. Now I'm using my infinity headband and I'm just going to clasp it around underneath the back part of her hair. So we'll have the hair flowing over the elastic part of the headband. These headbands are amazing, they're, so versatile. So I just love to kind of spice up an updo with them, but anyways and the next step is to go ahead and just take random pieces from your crown area and just twist them and pin them there's really no rhyme or reason to this. Sometimes it helps to put a mirror behind your head in front, so you can see what you're doing in the back and that's what I usually do when I'm doing updos. So you can see what you're doing back there, but I'm just taking random pieces and just pinning them wherever. I please don't worry if your bobby pins are showing cuz we're going to be covering them up in just a little bit here. Once you've pinned up your crown area, so it's all pinned up on the top portion. We'Re gon na go to the front part of our bangs. So here's what we're gon na do we're gon na twist it and we're gon na just grab a little piece at the bottom of the twist and push the rest of the twist up. So it gets really big and voluminous and messy. Looking then we're just gon na cross over back and hide the bobby pins that we don't want to show. So I'm just pinning that in place - and it's really simple now we're just gon na - go to the opposite side of our head and do the same exact thing and cross that one underneath the previous twist that we just did now, I'm going back to the opposite Side twisting and I'm gon na push that twist up right now and them in the cross that underneath the previous twist that we just did and I'll get a better shot of what I'm doing in just a second here. So once again I went to the opposite side, so it's kind of just crisscross and going on alternating sides and twisting and pinning this is my favorite technique for updos, just because it's so simple and it looks so intricate, but it's really really easy. So, as you can see, I'm just putting it underneath the rest of the twist and I'm pinning it so once you have all of your bang area and the upper part of your hair I'll twist, it in pinned we're gon na go ahead and move to the Bottom portion, which is still hanging down so we're gon na copy, exactly what we did with our bang area by twisting a section and pushing it upwards, then we're just gon na roll it up into a little ball and just pin it in place. Like I said, there's no rhyme or reason to this style, so just pin it to the way that you think is best. It'S really best. If you just don't, try too hard just push it up and just pin it and then just kind of work with it and pull at it. You know make it your own, so I I'm splitting my bottom section into three different sections, so I already pinned up my first section now: I'm gon na go ahead and pin up the middle section, so here I am twisting up and I'm just gon na pin That into place, don't worry about making it too perfect at first, because we can always go back and just fix it. You can hide things that are sticking out. We can make it bigger whatever you want to do, don't worry about making it too perfect. The first time around so now I'm just going to go ahead and move on to the last little section on the bottom here. So here it is from the front. I did it and now I'm pushing it upwards and I'm gon na roll that bad boy up and pin him. As you can see. I have little pieces hanging down. It'S totally easy to hide them and to fix it and make it perfect. Once you've got everything. Pin so after you pin everything just go back through and just kind of detail it and hide things that you want hit and make things bigger that you want bigger and just kind of pull at it. It'S all about playing and just kind of messing around with it, so that is the first look like I said it looks super romantic and loose one of my favorite updos and as you've seen it's super easy to achieve. So now we're gon na go ahead and move on to this second look, which is also really really easy, so let's go ahead and get into it now to start off this look, I did do the same exact thing as we did with the other updo by Clipping up my crown area and just getting it out of the way, I'm placing another infinity, headband right, where my bang meets my crown area and I'm just gon na clip that in place like that and I just released my hair. So it flows over the back of it. Now, I'm just gon na. Do a Dutch braid super simple I'll link, a video down below that shows you an in-depth tutorial of how to achieve this braid. It'S super easy! Even if you just watch this video a couple of times, I'm sure you get it down. If you don't know how to do it already, so go ahead and braid your hair halfway through and once your braid leaves the side of your head. That'S when you know to start just braiding and stop collecting additional hair and just braid it all the way down into a normal braid. You could even do a fishtail braid if you want, but this is just way easier in my opinion. Next, I'm just gon na go through and pull the braid apart to make it bigger. I prefer to pull from the middle of the braid because it makes it look larger rather than looser, so I'm just pulling for the middle and making this braid as big. As I want it to be once your brain is as big as you'd like it go ahead and just cross the braid over and pin it in the middle of your head, like so now in the opposite side of my head, I'm just going to create a Simple braid incorporating some of my bang area, along with some of the area behind the headband, so go ahead and braid it and when you're braiding it make sure you're pulling it backwards. So when you do pull it backwards at least nicely, and I'm also pulling this one apart as well, because I like big braids and a candle, I tried to wrap it. It didn't work but anyways, I'm crossing that braid right, underneath a big braid that we just created, I'm just gon na pin that into place as well and now, with the remaining hair. That'S down below the braids go ahead and just take your fingers and wrap the hair around them and then just tuck the little tail inside of the tunnel inside of the the pin curl. I guess you could say, and I'm just gon na pin that into place. I'M gon na split my hair into three or four sections, I'm not really sure yet, but I'm just taking section by section and I'm wrapping it around my fingers upwards and then I'm gon na tuck the little tail once again inside of the little tunnel area. That'S so not the proper name, but you guys know what I mean and then I'm just gon na clip it right next to the other, pink curl that we've already created, and I prefer them to be a little bit more messy. I don't like them to be extremely perfect, so it all looks like a big sausage. I like it to be a little bit messy and kind of tousled looking, so you can make these as messy or as sleek as you want them to. I prefer to go with a little bit more messy, but that is really it for this style and I'm just gon na curl. My little bang area that I have hanging down here and you've completed it. That'S all there is to it. So I hope this video helped those of you who have a special occasion around the corner, otherwise it's great to wear out in just a day to day basis as well. If you want to just be a little extra sassy one day, I think that me is super cute as well, but anyways. Thank you guys for watching be sure to give this video a thumbs up.
