Updos For Straight Hair

Hey guys, it's Jamie and I'm here with a few straight hair updos for you guys. I wanted to show you something you can do with hair that strayed. Maybe your hair doesn't hold a curl very well. Maybe you don't feel like curling it, but you have such location that you want to updo for so I'm gon na show you a couple different things that you can do with straight hair to make it look fantastic. Alright, let's get started so first we're just going to part a little bit of the hair around her face. That way, we don't tease this part. So that's all I'm doing here is just taking a wide toothed comb and sectioning a little bit away from my face. Just cuz, when we do our updo, this is going to be the smoothest part. Now this is going to take the longest this first updo, just because it's the base for all three of the updos. So now we're just going to section the back of our hair around the crown area and we're going to start teasing. So what we're gon na do is we're just gon na comb. Each section take a small section spray it with a little bit of hairspray and I'll show you that at the base at your scalp and then we're just gon na take a you, can take a teasing comb or a teasing brush. I'M just using this Paul Mitchell. Brush that I had on hand and we're going to gently tease, if you tease too hard or too fast, that's when you get a lot of damage from teasing. So just try to do it as gently as possible and there's the first section, and now I'm just going to show you we're gon na. Do the rest of the top same way, spray a little hair spray at the root and then gently tease it - and this is the next section - and this is just going to create the base of our bump, and so now I'm just teasing the sides a little Bit not the size that we section towards the front those who want to be smooth. We tease the back just to give it a little bit of volume. So now what I'm gon na do is take the top section right up against where my bangs are and I'm going to do, the same exact thing making sure my bangs are parted. I'M gon na spray with a little bit of hairspray and then gently tease it and now I'm just smoothing out any bumps so that the surface can be nice and smooth just checking it out and teasing any areas that might look a little bit flat. Now, I'm just going to gather around temple tight and pull it back, leaving the hair around my face down, I'm just smoothing out any bumps or frizziness, so the top can still be nice and smooth and then I'm just going to twist the hair and take the Bobby pin and only slide half the bobby pin through a little bit of the hair and then fold the bobby pin over on the other side and push it underneath the hair. This holds it in place and hides the bobby pin as well. Now, I'm just gon na make sure it's all smooth and take my pick side of my comb and pull it out a little bit and just kind of arrange the bump, where you want it and spray it into place. So now. This is a little trick for side, swept bangs that if yours has a part in it that doesn't seem too close or if it's dirty second day hair and it doesn't want to stay together. I just lift in spray a little hairspray and tease just a little bit, and it gives it that perfect side-swept, bang and it keeps the hair together. So now we're just gon na take the hair at our temples and leave the hair around our ears down. For now, we're just gon na make sure it's smooth and then we're gon na pull it back over the section that we just pinned so we're gon na get our bobby pin and we're gon na pull it around over the hair. We just put back and we're gon na, take the bobby pin same thing, get a little bit of the hair and then over and under hides bobby pin and holds the hair in place and then we're just gon na do the same thing. On the other side, around the temple area, leaving the hair over our ears down we're just gon na make sure that hair is nice and smooth going back and we're just gon na pull it and we're gon na pull it over the hair. We just put up kind of hiding any pins showing and doing the same thing. It'S a bobby, pin and pushing it under the previous hair. So it hides that bobby pin, and so now I'm just going to make sure our bangs are where we want them. Make sure we have enough down and we're going to take the hair, that's left, which is right over our ear and smooth it out and do the same process we're gon na pull it back over the hair from the other side that we just pinned so we're Gon na take a bobby, pin and slide the hair in the bobby pin and then over and under then the same thing. On the other side, smoothing the hair, pull it over. The previous bobby pin we're going to take a bobby, pin and just slide it over and under now. I'M just spraying it to make sure everything's in place, and this is actually our first updo and you can leave the bottom straight and if you want it to curl, you could definitely curl it. But this is for just an easy straight up and you get still good to see the length of your hair, nice and long or, if it's short, you could flip off the ends. Just real easy now on to look number two. So we're just gon na leave the hair up from our first updo we're just gon na split the hair. That'S down into two and all we're gon na do is braid each of those sections. So we'll take the first side and just braid it, and I just put a little by then you can use an elastic and now we're going to braid the second side and then all we're gon na do is I twisted mine a little bit at the base, But then all you're gon na do is just pull it up and over the bun or excuse me, the pouf, almost creating like a headband with the braid and then we're gon na pull the other one up and over as well, and what I'm gon na do Is I'm going to take the bobby pin of the braid on top and just slide half the body pin over just a little bit of the hair on the braid and then flip it over and push it under, so it catches the hair from the other braid. That'S underneath it that way, it secures both braids together we're and just do the same thing on the other side and then we'll remove the bobby pin that was holding the braid and then tuck the loose hair under the top braid and then using a little bit Of hair from the top right, I'm gon na push it over and then under grabbing the hair from the bottom braid. So it's securing both braids and see with two bobby pins. It'S already nice and secure. But now I'm just gon na go back and make sure everything is nice and hidden and a little bit more secure by pinning down the braids and making sure to push the bobbin in the direction of the braid. So it completely hides your bobby pin and then I'm just gon na fix any little hair sticking out by placing a bobby pin in there and smoothing it all down. And then I just tucked my bangs behind my ear for something a little bit different for this book and there you have it a braided headband with a little bit of a poof. So that is look number two very easy and quick now for look number three, which is my favorite, so for this one we took the braids down and you're still gon na split the hair into two, and all we're going to be doing is basically tying her Hair in a series of knots, so I'm just going to take the hair and it's two sections and tie them together and we're just gon na keep tying them until the hair is all gone, but we're gon na pin it each time we tie it. So I just tied it and I'm gon na pull tightly and now I'm gon na secure it by holding the one end up and just grabbing some hair from one side of the knot and then pushing it up and down into the hair. So it hides bobby. Pin and secures the knot and doing the same thing on the other side of the knot. Okay and now we're gon na tie it again, and this is actually really good. If you have long hair or even for curly hair, it doesn't have to just be straight. Tying it in knots actually gets the hair. It gives you less to work with, even if you want to leave the ends free and it gives it a nice look to it as well, but you'll be able to see in just a minute. So here I'm just securing the next knot the same exact way and I'm just going to tie it again and that's actually the last time I'm gon na tie it. So I'm going to go ahead and secure this knot again with bobby pins one on each side and I'm just going to take a look here and so now. What I'm gon na do is just kind of wrap up the ends and pin them underneath some of the nodding, as you can see, I'm just trying to figure out how to position it and I'm going to tuck the ends under the bottom using the body. Can I just grab a little bit of hair and then tuck it in then we're gon na do the same thing with the other hair. That'S hanging out, I'm just gon na wrap it around where it looks the best and then I'm going to pin it down and see it's almost like a bunch of shin-young's in one style. I noticed I had a little bit of hair down, so all they did was just wrap it up and use a bobby pin and hide it mm-hmm, and there you have it now. I decided to make this a little bit fancier by adding a flower which you'll see in just a moment, but here it is without it. So here's my flower, I'm just gon na slide it right into the side and you can make sure you match your dress, that you're wearing or you don't have to. It can be a different color, but there you have it so easy. You didn't have to curl your hair or anything. So that's three looks for straight hair and I hope you guys enjoyed it I'll see you next time. Bye,
