Hi, I'm Kate from the small things vlog today, I'm going to show you how to do a simple two-step updo that looks like you paid a couple hundred dollars for it. This is going to be more on the formal end of things, so save this for any wedding or any fancy event that you need to go to we're going to start by sectioning our hair off into two sections, and I would say the ideal length for this Style would be about collarbone or lower, so you need a little bit of length. You can start with straight hair and recommend a little bit of curl just for the right texture. So let's get started, I'm going to divide our hair off as if you were going to put it half up so grab most of that hair and then we're just going to pin it up on top. So it stays out of our way and we're going to begin with the bottom. I'M using duckbill clips just to hold it in place. Okay, so wrap the bottom. If you need to add a little bit of texture use a little dry shampoo. I, like KMS hair, play makeover spray. It helps bobby pins, hold and just kind of bulks up your hair with a little bit of texture. Okay, so once you've applied a decent amount of that do a rough T. When I rough tease, I usually used a larger end of the comb where, if I teased any other time, I'm typically using the fine toothed side, so the rough cheese is just mainly to give a little bit of volume. But you don't want it to be quite as tight as if you were teasing with a fine toothed end. You want to create a good foundation close to your scalp. Okay. So once you've got a nice mess going on, grab a clear elastic and pull it into a ponytail right behind your ears stretch. It out make sure that placement is good. Okay, then you'll grab another elastic and put it around the hair and then we're going to create a bun. So you don't have to grab any particular way. You just want to grab and put the clear elastic around twice, so you kind of create a bun and then just stretch it out as much as you can if any of the hairs come through and you have any long pieces like that, that's totally fine! Okay! So once you've got your bun in place, we're going to fine-tune a little bit so the goal here is to pin the outer parts of the bun to our head. So if you have any hairs like I do that are falling out, you just want to kind of fold those under and then wherever your finger is holding. That'S where you want to put the bobby pin. So, while we're doing is kind of the bottom part of the role, just stick a pin in to attach it to your head further down, so the goal is to kind of make it look like a donut. So once you have your doughnut all shaped out, here's a look at mine. I love my bobby pins are on the outside, just holding it kind of wider and tighter into my head. You can let down the top section and we're going to put this in a clear elastic as well. Just like you were going to wear your hair half up. If you want to pull a little bit of hair up, so you've got a nice bump on top. Do that now? Okay, so once you have your half up, make a little parting above the elastic and flip that hair through just like the piggy flip or some people call it the Topsy tail. So then, all we're going to do with this top section that's left is roll that into a bun and then pin it right above the donut. I know it sounds super professional and I'm calling it a donut, but is there anything else to call it so we're just going to pin this section that we just flipped just like we did down here alright. So once you have everything pinned, you can fine tune around the front. However, you like it but you're left with this nice volumize updo that you saw was pretty basic when broken down foot looks a lot more involved in just a couple, flips and turns, and then some bobby pins. I hope you enjoyed this hair tutorial. If you want to see any others be sure to check my blog, the small links below calm

Paula Mena: How easy! Thank you. I'm going to use this tutorial this Saturday for my friend's wedding
Tiggy Winkle: I love this updo, it looks so soft and tousled..perfect for those of us that don't have 'perfect' hair. Im not a fan if those perfect slick ballerina style formal hair do's.
SnowFreakenWhite: This is awesome! I been watching videos for cute and quick updos and this is for sure one of my tops thank you!
Kimberly Wilson: Used your tutorial last night for the Margarita ball and it was a hit. Thanks for making it so simplistic and step by step.
Sonja Brow: I have one daughter who has very thick hair, and the first time I really struggled to do this with her. Not only is it thick, it is heavy, and completely straight, pretty difficult to work with. I simply split it into three instead of two...I did it the same in the beginning, but instead of taking the top section and making one bun, I made a lower and upper. I still did the pull through ponytail and then rolled and pinned it up, and the smaller sections made it much easier to work with. It came out looking great! Thank you for the easy step by step explanation and demonstration!
Jaclyn Harper: WOW! I can't wait to try this. Looks amazing and soo simple!
Cayla Garcia: I made the bun a little less messy and used it for prom! Thanks so much!
Sheila Maclean: Wow - that's beautiful - gonna try it for my daughter's wedding next weekend - thankyou!
Athene Davidowski: Thank you! Going wedding dress shopping and I was lost on how to try and wear it! This looks so easy!
Sandra Hinders: Great tutorial! Will wear my hair like this on my sisters wedding this weekend =)
Marisela Spaulding: Thank you for sharing! I loved your simple yet elegant up-do. I seem to have trouble with the top part of my hair as I don't have bangs and it (the long bang part) just hangs there on the side of my face. I used to have bangs but my hair styler said bangs were an "80's" thing. I'll have to give this a try.
amco jensen: This is great! thank you. Quick and to the point and easy to follow.
EBSwimChick: I love this! I tried it and I am so excited to wear it out :) Thank you!!
Izzy: I am as amateur as it gets when it comes styling hair. I tried this style out on a friend of mine for a wedding. She has very long hair with long layers. It looked amazing. It truly looked like it was done at the salon. It also held up well throughout the night. She curled it first with a large barrel curling iron. It took about 15 minutes to do. Thanks for the tutorial.
Britta Kihn Dolan: Tried this today - so happy with the result! Thanks so much for this tutorial. :)
Natasha Hobbs: @The Small Things BlogThankyou so much for showing us a beautiful yet so elegant for a perfect occasion. I managed to do the hairstyle and your instructions were easy to follow. I am going to a event and this is the perfect hairstyle for it. Love you xxx

Dawn Wtulich: You are the cutest thing and your voice is amazing. You have wonderful tutorials and everything is fairly easy except some of the braids, but that comes with practice.

Chassity Bremmer: i love that this doesn't require really long hair! everytime i find a tutorial with a pretty hairstyle my hair is always too short
