You you hey guys: here's an elegant, textured updo, that's insanely, easy to create it's perfect for formal events such as weddings, galas or even the prom, I'm starting out with my hair and old curlformer curls. But you can also do this with a twist out a bantu knot out really any stretch style will do I'm gon na start by flipping the hair, on top of my head to the side, to create volume grabbing the hair in front of your ears on both Sides of your head bring the hair to the back of your head and tie the two sides together into a loose knot grab another section on both sides of your head, bring the hair to the back and directly under that. First knot tie a second loose knot. Repeat this process all the way down the head, making sure to keep the knots loose once you've tied the last knot gather the loose ends from that last knot and tuck them under and into the hair. Then bobby, pin the ends securely in place. Moving upwards grab the loose end from the next knot: tuck it underneath the hair above it and bobby. Pin it in place repeat the same process grab the loose ends from each knot: tuck it underneath the hair above it and bobby, pin the hair in place. Do this on both sides until no loose ends are visible, then I'm just gon na release some hair to frame my face in the front, and I'm done it's so easy. If you want to soak your effect just start on fresh curlformers, a quick textured and elegant updo perfect for any formal event, I hope this helps guys stay tuned for one more formal style. Bye,

nadia cufos: Just letting you guys know.... 6 years after.... I’ve done this hairstyle for a wedding I was a bridesmaid and it looked AMAZING

Sheyenne McGhee: I love how gentle you are on your hair....that's something I need to learn with my hair :)

darklucyr rr: That's gorgeous! I'm going to try this for my sister's wedding.

Ayana B: You're such an inspiration to me, as well as other youtubers. I just cut off my permed hair an hour ago and I look forward to my journey. My parents aren't too keen on me chopping it and they have negative comments but I have a cousin who's natural who plans on helping me. I'm glad I have guidance from her, you and others youtubers. I plan to keep watching your videos. Thank you!

Diamahn: I can't wait until my hair is this long to try this style! :) so beautiful

Queenesq: I did a similar undo style when I attended a co-workers wedding last summer. Up do styles are simple and usually turn out better than a "planned" and complicated style. You are so good at styling your hair. The lace top is very pretty!

I am adding them to my favorites for when my hair is longer. Thank you

Cliche Marie: You're right, this IS insanely easy. When I had WL braids, I used this same technique. When it was finished, it looked like an intricate fishtail ponytail, that I could never INTENTIONATELY do with loose hair!

Larjo15: Yes, this is a beautiful and elegant up do, perfect for your hair... and the lace top (or dress) was the icing on the cake.
