Hi everybody today, I'm going to show you how to do up twos and pretty styles for short hair. So I'm going to divide this hair, so it doesn't get complicated because at home it would be a little bit hard for you feel divided, just divide your hair from ear to ear pushing this hair. Oh wait! Okay, if you like what you do, is you clip it first clip one side here and you clip the other one. Now I'm going to take this all the way to the side and I'm going to pin it and you'd like this one pin and I'm going to cross it at the pin to the gift you can use smaller pins. I just have these large ones here now. I'M going to take my comb and I'm going to push it in. You know before I started this. I did put a little crow in with my flat iron, and you just might want to do the same. You do want to put a little bit of curl into the hero bounce before you start it up. Okay, so let me go ahead and push the hair in turning it a little bit. She doesn't have a lot of hair. So it's going to be easy. For me to turn it and turn it one more time in order like this. Okay, now that I got this up like this, I'm just going to clean it up a little bit. It doesn't have to be neat just as long as we make it pretty. Okay, just use the end of the comb to tuck in this part right here and then just very gently: do it this time? Okay, don't worry, might look a little sloppy, but we'll fix it up later. Now we're going to take these pins out and I'm going to push this back. Usually the hairline is a little shorter and it sticks up a little just. Take your hand here for a little hairspray and push it back like this. Then you take your comb. You do this to it. Pushing this neck again. Take another pin and pin this part again. Don'T worry about this because it can pull naturally like that. It'Ll. Look! Really pretty the end, and now I'm going to take this side here and push it off like this, and I'm also going to pin it just under here. Okay pin it underneath you're just going to see that let this part kind of drop click leaving the front. Just to go over the hair be easy with the comb, be very gentle shake it over like that issue. This he'll turn both sides like that. Now I'm going to take this part here and gently push it back and comb it a little bit see how it's coming together. This pots, just short enough for me to cover this and just mold it with your fingers like this molding, give it up tucking it in a little bit tucking it in or dancing with your fingers is just showing you this princey start to form a nice pretty Functional okay, I'm gon na spray it up a little bit, I'm going to neaten up the hair, pushing this down, make it pretty take this also pretty you might want to just you know, make it sassy, I'm going to take my flat iron and bump. This part right here to give it a little curl and a little something to it, pushing it to the back, just changing it up. I'M going to take my fingers and I'm going to call this point two in this part, to give it like two little coals. They look like pink holes, actually spraying them and I'm gon na do the same on this top part. I'M gon na go ahead and use my my flat iron and I'm gon na give it a little bit more curl. You can leave it flat to your face. You know less a bang or you can give it a little bit more curl or bump. You can do a lot of things with this right here, but I just want to give her a little bit more of a curling curly look right here and just clean. It up and there you have it a French roll. The next up to I'm going to perform, is a updo with some curls. So before we start we're going to do lots of curls with the curling iron or with the flat iron just throw in different pieces. Just as your CV twisting it in like that, okay, so it's going to be curly like this all over. I have closed some of it already for you, so I'm going to push all this back part up would make it as flat as you can and then the lightly spray it because of all the little hairs here now. Don'T worry because there's going to be little hair sticking out, you can always clean that up later and because I want it so high, I'm going to stop pinning it right. Here short, hair is kind of difficult to pin up high because it's so short in the back that sometimes it just comes out a little bit. So you just gon na, have to use some hairspray and some pins and pin it in the back straight across. As you can fight using pins new type of pins, you have and just pin it straight across up high, I'm going to proceed to, pin it all back here, I'm going to show you in a minute how I get some clothes on the top. So I just fist cross the pins straight across going in this square. That way, this way all the way criss crossing a straight line or actually curves. Your line right will be here in the back of the head. Okay, now I'm going to bring down the curls that I've done before just bringing them down over that and bring these curls down. Then I'm going to take this section here and I'm also going to pin this pot here we're going to take the other section of the hair and I'm also going to pin it covering the pins underneath make sure your pins are covered underneath and because some of The curls get loose when we play around with it. I'M just going to take this and curl the pieces that are fuzzy, so I'm going to do that for a little bit. Let'S start curling different pieces that are fuzzy just take your time, take different pieces and sections and anything that looks a little bit frizzy on the ends you just recrawl it, and then you get back and we're going to neaten it up some more and there you Have it an updo with some curls? Okay, so, let's say you're in a hurry and you want to look like you're having an updo. I could have an updo. So what we're going to do now is want to push these sides back and we're going to pin them here. We go just take this back here. Use your big pins cover it up. This way, take the other side and you're going to do the same. You can also pin it now you're going to go ahead and you're going to tassel this up. Like this see, it already looks a little different, even though you have short hair. It'S just at the same old-same up so you're going to take this here too, and you're going to pin it and play with it as you go along. Maybe there's something you can do that's going to look even pretty, as you put your hands to your, do your hair. You know then you're going to take this pot and I'm going to ask you to tease it just a little bit just to revamp it. A little bit bring that back like that. Okay, this is already looking cute and you're just going to bring this down this way. This across here hide your PIN and I'm going to show you how to clean it up what it's going to look like, and there you have it an updo on the go. As you can see, you can do many different updos with short hair, thanks for watching
