We have had quite a few requests for formal updos lately, and we have wanted to show you this variation of a bun style we did over two years ago.
We used a curling wand to provide a base of soft curls. I think this hairstyle is beautiful, and know you will love it, too!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, curling iron, heat protectant, 1 hair band, 10-12 bobby pins, 2+ Goody Spin Pins, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 15-20 minutes
Skill Level: Medium

[, MUSIC PLAYING ] -Hey everyone., I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles and today I'm going to show you how to use an easy twisted updo.. But first Brooklyln has some information for you. Guys. -Bailey and I are going to be on a Nickelodeon, show called Web Stars. Kids Behind the Hits - and it's kind of like a documentary - and we are so excited. - It's airing December 30, at 8 PM Eastern time., So please go record it and watch it.. We are so excited.. I still can't believe it happened. So be sure you watch that., -Very cool.. So to begin this hairstyle, I parted her hair, where her natural part line is which is slightly to the left and then --. If you'll turn your head just a little bit for me --, I went from that part line down to each ear and I pulled the rest of her hair back into a ponytail to just kind of get it out of the way for now.. So what you're going to want to start doing is picking up a section of hair and we're going to curl it. And I'm using just a one-inch curling iron. Nothing super fancy --, just whatever you have at your house, is fine. And I'm going to go ahead and just wrap it all the way down to the ends of a hair and give her a nice curl.. And if you have a few layers like you could see, one fell out on hers. That'S OK because we'll just curl it in a second instead.. You want to just let it sit until it's nice and toasty. So you know, you've got a good curl and then loosen it up Now you don't want to let the curl fall.. So when you have it try to keep it kind of nicely in your hand and then we're going to pin it. So we're going to pin it right against her head to let her hair sit and that's where it's just going to sit -- on her head For now., That's not the style, that's just getting it ready.! So again we're going to just pick up the next section of hair go ahead and curl.. I want to make sure we get all the way --, that's an easy way to keep it so that you get all the way down to the ends. Hold it for a second or two.. You can feel it. When you can put your fingers on it and it starts getting hot to the touch then go ahead and loosen it. And when it comes off go ahead and roll it back. Up. Secure it with a pin.. You can use Bobby pins too. If you don't have these little alligator clips that I'm using. We're going to just continue to do this until you have all the curls on her head done., So after you've finished curling it --, you can see that Granny Brooklyn has come to town --, but we're Going to go ahead and release the back hair and pull all of it to one side and make a low side pony tail.. This is where our bun is going to be.. We don't want to slick it too much.. We want it to be kind of soft and nice looking., I'm going to turn you just a little bit more like this. And while we're doing this, all those curls are setting -- they're cooling in their curled position, which is why we've clipped them up -- and That means that they're going to just -- it's going to help them set and stay better and longer lasting curls.. Does that feel, OK to you, -Mm-hm. -OK., So I'm going to go ahead and twist it and make a bun.. She has gargantuan amounts of hair. So her buns are always quite large., But it doesn't matter how big or small your buns are just put one on there.. I'M using Goody spin pins to secure those underneath layers and then I'll go back in and finish it off with some bobby pins too. To make sure we have it nice and securely fastened. I'll, do one more right in here.. How does that feel to you, -Pretty, good. -OK. And any little pieces like that? There, we go. OK., Now we're going to take the hair down., I'm going to start with the smaller of the two sides. So I'm going to start by taking this side down first. And that just means pulling out the clips.. Now what I'm going to do? -- switch sides over here, --, I'm going to take a nice boar, bristled brush and I'm going to just kind of very softly comb, the curls together to form more of like a wave with all of them.. So we don't want too much of like an individualized curl. Look. We want it to be more of a wave, look. Pretty.. Now we're going to take it, go ahead and twist it., You can twist it under like this or over. I'm going to go ahead and do over and just make it really soft. I'll spin her around. So you can see now., So you can see coming around and I'm just going to go right over the top of the bun and wrap it up underneath and add a couple more bobby pins just to hold that hair in place. There we go. Now, I'm going To let the side, down. OK. And again, I'm going to take my brush and just very softly kind of form them together to make that nice curl we want. And when we've got sort of the structure we want with that curl. Then again, I'm just going to come -- and we can deal with these in a minute with some finishing spray, -- and wrap it up and around very loosely laying it over the top of the bun, because we don't want it to look too tight and structured. Up and over using a couple of bobby pins. Go ahead and secure it just wherever we're worried about it, popping out. And then loosen the whole thing up a little. Again, we want it really soft looking. And you have this lovely soft bun.. So we are finished.. Let'S give you the final spin.. I just think this is so soft and romantic looking., It's a great hairdo to wear to a holiday party or Christmas dinner, or something like that.. Do you like it -I think it's awesome. -She just loves anything with her hair out of her face. Let'S put it that way: huh -Yeah. -Well. We hope you enjoyed it., Please be sure to check out their show on Nickelodeon on December 30 at 8:00 PM Eastern time and we'll see you guys later. -Bye. -And now you're just going to take that hair and let it lay right over where you crossed the Bobby pins to hide them, so you have just this nice effect of a braid that looks fancy. -Hey buddy. -Hi Daddy. -What. Are you doing -Coloring. -You're coloring -Yep. -Who? Are you coloring that for -Mom. -You're coloring, that for Mom -Yeah. -That's nice of you. You're, not coloring, that for your girlfriend, -I'm not. -You're? Not Why -Because? Only when you're in high school. -Only, when you're in high school, that's right., You can't have a girlfriend till you're in high school

chrisg45: I LOVE those Goody Spin Pins! This is probably one of the first times I've seen them used in a hair tutorial. It always surprises me more people don't use them, because they really do work so much better than bobby pins. I have real long hair & use them nearly every day, they really are a lifesaver in the mornings & IMO a must for anyone with long hair.

figuresk8er94: I lovelovelove this hair!! I tried it but I have side bangs that I wanted to keep out and it looked funny with both sides twisted back so I only twisted back the side with less hair and wrapped it and I thought it looked good. It might have just been one of those things that look good once and doesn't work again if you try to replicate it though hahaha

Lee Joe: love every hairstyle u do wish I had that skill❤❤❤❤❤
Georgia Stewart: I want to start out by saying, "I love you guys!" :) This hairstyle is great, unfortunately I just chopped my long hair. If you guys have any hairstyles for chin length hair... and I just have to know, Brooklyn, I love your makeup. How do you do it? What do you use? That is exactly how I'd like to do mine, but can never seem to get it just right. (mostly the foundation and stuff- mine always looks blotchy-and I use bare minerals). You should do a video on it on your channel. :)
Lily Weiniger: I love all of your hairstyles!
