3 Fine Hair Updos | Step-By-Step Tutorial | Kenra Professional

Hi everyone, it's Brittany with Ethereal Hair & Makeup. Today, I'm going to be showing you three hairstyles for fine hair., Let's get into it first up. Is this super sleek smooth up style, so I'm just starting with straight hair here and I'm gon na go through and just spritz the crown, so I'm just kind of sectioning and just spraying with a little bit of water and then I'm gon na go in with The Kenra this is their Root Lifting Spray, so it's kind of like a mousse, so you have to apply this when the hair is damp, so I'm just gon na go through and section through, just where I sprayed that water, just in the crown not anywhere lower Than that and I'm just gon na get that incorporated so now, I'm going to actually be blow-drying all this hair forward. So I'm pushing it all forward with my round brush, because this is gon na help it dry that way, and then, when I flip it back over her head, it's gon na give me a little bit of added volume. So I'm just working this through making sure all that product is incorporated drying that out and then I'm just gon na flip that all back over her head and then I just went back through right at this front section. I wanted to have a little bit more lift there, so I just blow-dried that a little bit on my round brush. And then this is the great volume that we get afterwards. So now I'm gon na be going in and I'm backcombing and I'm gon na be Using the Dry Volume Burst here, this is gon na help me with just getting that backcombing to hold so I'm spraying these sections before and after I'm backcombing, and also because I blow-dried that root spray in there. This hair already has a really good texture.. So it's really gon na want to latch on and really hold that backcombing really well., So just doing that on the top and the sides here and then key for this style, because I want it to look so smooth, I'm just going back over and really smoothing Out the top and the sides just that very top layer, I want it to be really sleek and really clean. Getting that nice and smooth and then we're gon na start. The style. So just created a twist here on this left side in the center back and then I'm just gon na bobby pin that into place. So just take your time with these bobby pins, you want to make sure this twist is really smooth comb through it. If you need to. And then I'm also gon na be using the Kenra 25, this is their Volume Spray.. It'S really gon na help me lock all those flyaways into place. After I've got that section. Pin I'm just gon na go back through smooth it out, smooth all the sides and then we're gon na repeat the exact same steps., Quick tip here when you're working with your bobby pins, I'm putting them in facing towards the twist and then I'm pivoting them. So they face the other way as I push them into the style., So this is going to make them really secure. And then once I get everything how I want it, I'm gon na go back in with that Kenra, 25 and just spray everything.. This is where you want to make sure that your sides are exactly how you want them, because now we're gon na move on to the bottom of the bun and you're, not gon na, be able to adjust it or change it. Later. Now for the bottom, bun I'm taking a hair donut that I've actually cut apart. So I cut it and unrolled it, and then I'm able to just kind of cut it to the size that I want and then I can re-roll it up to make it as big or as little as I want, depending on what I'm doing with it. And that kind of thing, so I've just kind of made a square, and this is a perfect way to add to a bun, make a bun look bigger if you're working with somebody who has really fine hair, maybe their hair is shorter than this models that I'm Working on, maybe their hair is even thinner than this, so this is just a great tool that you can use when you need to. So I'm just pinning this right at the bottom of the bun you saw. I went back in and just backcomb the rest of this hair.. Now I'm just gon na wrap it around my hand and if your hair is shorter than this, that you're working with you can only wrap it once or maybe you need to wrap it more than this, but I just wrapped it around my hand and then I'm Just gon na roll it across that bun that I've made and then we're just gon na bobby, pin that into place over at donut. And this is where that donut really comes in and can help you, because it gives you something for your bobby pins to pin into as well. Take your time get this nice and secure. You really also want to make sure that everything is smooth and sleek. So if you need to go back tame any flyaways or anything like that with the 25 and then I just went back and combed some of those blond hairs across that darker section just to break it up a little bit more. - And this is the finished. Look. You guys it's super clean, a super sleek, just a gorgeous classic up style.. This next style is my take on a textured French twist. And I'm starting with straight hair here and I'm gon na go in and curl.. So I sectioned out a couple inches of her hair and I'm just going to be curling and I'm using my flat iron right now. But you can use any iron that you want. At this point. I'M not too worried about curl directions or the way that I'm curling. I just really want to get some texture in there for the next step. And I'm also using that Dry Volume Burst and spraying it through each section.. So curling is one of the ways that you can get a lot of texture into the hair that you wouldn't normally get if you were doing it on straight hair.. I know this might seem like a boring step, but I don't want to skip over it too quickly, because there are a lot of options here. When you're curling you can curl with a different size iron. You can add some crimping in here. A smaller iron is going to give you a totally different texture. And if you're working with naturally curly hair, that's going to give you a totally different effect as well.. So there are lots of options when you're curling., Then I'm gon na go in with the Kenra Whip Taffy, and I'm just gon na run this through my fingers and in the hair just kind of break up those curls a little bit and I'm also going in And just backcombing on the sides and the top with that Dry Volume Burst.. I want to add a lot of volume, a lot of texture here.. Then I'm going to go in and backcomb internally as well.. So what this means is I've clipped this top section up out of the way and I'm gon na take this middle back section and I'm just gon na backcomb a ton.. So this is gon na make a base for me, which is a great way to make yourself a base. If you don't have any hair padding or you don't know what to do when you need to make a base for a hairstyle., And that is all gon na get covered up by the rest of this hair anyway. So I'm just smoothing out a little bit of the top making sure you can't see any backcombing, then I'm gon na gather all this hair. In my hand, like I'm gon na make a ponytail and I'm just gon na wrap it around my hand and bring it across the center of her head and just kind of make a nice rolled shape. There. Then, I'm gon na start bobby pinning. And I'm using a couple different, pinning techniques here. One is just kind of a sowing motion, so I weave the bobby pin in so it catches a lot of hair and the other is more of a pivot technique. Where I put the bobby pin in one direction and then pivot it to face the other way and push it the rest of the way, in. Then going back in I'm just kind of curling, some of these top pieces and also the pieces on the sides just Kind of detailing now so this is where you can really make your style unique. I'M kind of pulling any pieces that I want to bring out of the style rearranging them, pinning them somewhere else, and this is where you can really make. This style seem really soft and messy is kind of pull out some pieces that you want to leave out, or you want to make them look more detailed by pinning them in kind of individually, and this is what gives that style. Just a really messy textured effect. When it's actually a more secure than you would think that it is. Finally, just touching up any flyaways with that Dry Volume, Burst. And then this is the finished, look so lots of texture in there, but it's still really secure such a fun look.. This final look is a braided half-up style.. My trick to this style is going to be the crimper. Crimping is such an easy way to add a lot of volume and a lot of texture to thin hair in not a lot of time., So I've sectioned off this top area, just the crown and right Underneath that I'm gon na go in and add a little crimping., I'm crimping about two to three inches down the hair shaft. You can always do more or less depending on what you're doing, but this is really just gon na add a lot of volume to the style that we're going to be creating.. One thing to keep in mind, though, when you're doing this on a client is just to ask them. If they want to see the crimping in the style.. Sometimes it may be more to their preference for you to hide it, and do it a little bit more internally, like we did with that backcombing earlier.. So this is just always something that I asked them, but if you haven't tried this technique before, I would definitely recommend it because it actually increases the hair volume by three times.. So if this is something that you haven't tried, definitely just check it out. Once I have all that crimping incorporated and we're gon na start with the half-up style.. So I'm just starting right in the back of her head and instead of taking one big crown section, which I could do and just pinning that all in place right away. I'M gon na take a couple different sections here, just to give the style a little bit more depth., So I'm just grabbing a couple of sections twisting them around each other spraying, some of that Dry Volume Burst and then just fluffing those out and pinning them all Kind of right in the center in the back of her head, so they're all in the same place.. Then I'm gon na repeat that one more time and you can already see the depth and the texture that we're getting from those pieces of the crimped area that you can see in this style. Now for the braids I've sectioned out a couple pieces around her face On this side just to frame her face, and then this is actually her heavy side. So this is the side she parts on. So this braid is gon na, be a little bit bigger. And I'm just gon na go in and start creating a regular French braid. Here and when you're working with this crimped hair you'll really be able to feel how fluffy it is. It'S not a frizzy texture, but it's just really fluffy and it's so easy to work with and it gives the hair such good volume. So I'm gon na. Add French braid until I reach about her ear and then I'm just gon na braid, normally the rest of the way down.. This is where that crimping really comes into play, because you're gon na be able to see it in the braid. Once we start to fluff it out, even more. Crimping is also a really good technique to use on darker hair when you're making a style. So you can really see that texture and dimension pop.. Once I get this braid all finished, I'm going to pin it right across those other pins and those other sections that we secured and then I'm going to just start fluffing that braid out. So you can't see any of my pins. And then this really becomes the fun part where you can kind of just pull on this. I'M kind of pulling on some of the more crimped pieces as well just to kind of get those to stand out even more.. Just be sure, to take your time when you're doing this as when you're pulling out any braids, especially on more fine hair, it can really be easy to pull a piece all the way out and mess up your braids or kind of make the hair a little Bit too frizzy. So just take your time when you're doing this and then we're gon na move on to the other side. So I just went back in and added a little bit more crimping right at this top part, because I feel like she needed a little bit more volume there. And then this is her lighter side. So this braid is gon na be a little bit smaller. Since this is not the side that she's parting on, but even with that considered, I still feel like with that crimping. It'S gon na help you make the braid even fluffier. It'S gon na have even more texture than it would, if you just didn't, add any crimping at all, and this is where that Dry Volume Burst really comes in to help you fluff that braid out.. It really just adds a lot of texture and keeps the braid from slipping right back into place.. Once I get that braid fluffed out how I want it, I'm gon na connect those two braids in the back and pin that one right next to the other one. So it looks like they're joining., Then I'm going back through and I wanted to add a couple more curls just to give it a little bit more dimension, just kind of to add some accent curls.. So I'm going back through this is a one and a half inch clip iron and I'm just kind of picking and choosing my curls here, just adding a few and then brushing them through with my fingers to kind of break them up a little bit. More. And finally, just going in with that Memory Spray, you guys know this. One is definitely my favorite for any kind of half-up style.. This one really locks those curls into place, but it's not gon na leave your curls feeling, crispy or crunchy to where your client feels like they can't even touch them or run their fingers through them during the day., And that is it for the braided half up Style, I hope that you guys enjoy.
