Everyone kelly here with this relatively easy, quick and easy updo for prom or a wedding or any formal event that you might have. It is really pretty and pretty easy to do so. Let'S just go ahead and get into it. First of all, as with all updos, I like to section first - and this is very easy: sectioning you're just going to do a side part or you could we just work with the middle part. If you want and then section the hair from your ears forward and just clip that out of the way - and that's really all you have to do - you can do these sections larger. If you want to have more hair, that's curled going back or you can do less. If you want less hair going back it's up to you, then we're going to move on to the bun, and this is also very easy. You'Re going to pull your hair over into a side, dish, ponytail and kind of loosen, the top just so it doesn't look too tight, then secure it with a hair band, and this is optional. But if you want to, you can curl the ponytail and the reason that I did this is because my hair is naturally straight and I find was a more messy kind of casual looking bun. It'S really nice to have a little bit of bend to the hair. So if you have a natural wave or natural curl, you don't need to curl your hair at all, and if you have straight hair and you don't really care, that's totally fine - you can totally skip this step. I just wanted to. Let you guys know that I did it and the reason that I did it is because I like how my hair looks when it's curled before it's put into a bun. So with all that said, you're going to go ahead and wrap your hair into a bun and wrap it fairly loosely without twisting it a whole lot so that it looks really nice and natural and then you're just going to pin it in place. And that is it for this step, like I told you, it's really simple and now we're going to prepare the front for what we're doing next, so you're, basically going to make three curls on each side of your face. So I'm wrapping my hair around a three-quarter inch iron and then letting the curl go and then optionally, you can curl the hair back around two fingers and put it in place to cool the reason that I did. This is because you want those curls to really pop and be very three-dimensional against your head, and that happens a lot better when they're a lot stronger and that happens a lot more easily when you pin the curls to cool them. So that's why I did that. But if your hair takes a curl really easily, you can just pop three curls in on each side and be done with it. If your hair is a little harder to curl like mine, then you should definitely pay, so I can cool once all the curls are done and cool to the touch. You can go ahead and run your fingers through them. This is going to soften up the curl. A lot and give it a much more natural look when it's placed against the head. It also does help a little bit with that kind of three-dimensional. Look because I find this helps the curls to pop just a little bit more than if you were to leave them in a ringlets form and now that the curls are all done. We'Re going to go ahead and pin them in place. So you're going to start out on the right side of your head and take that top curl and then sweep it back so that it's right over the bun that we made so it'll be slightly off-center. Make sure that it's a couple of inches above the bun and then pin it in place, then, on the other side, we're going to take the top curl now one thing you can do to make these curls pop is to separate that curl into and then twist The curls very loosely around each other. It creates a little bit more pop and a little bit more interest to the style. Then you're going to place that right underneath what we pin before and pin that in place and we're going to keep doing that until we're done with the hair. So now I'm taking the second curl and you can see I'm wrapping it around itself again. Just to add a little bit more dimension, and then you also want to be careful that you don't pull back too tightly because you can just pull the curl out by doing that. So give it enough slack that the curls can really jump and dance across the hair, of course, you're going to pin that in place and then move on to the second curl. On the other side, you want to make sure that you're always placing these right underneath the section that we just did so that we keep making a nice visual interest there and keep pinning back into itself. So you basically keep criss-crossing your bobby pins as you go. This helps to hide them and create really secure, pinning and now we're going to take that last curl and you're going to put it right on top of the button. So, underneath everything else we did and right on top of the bun and then pin down and then to the bun so that you hide the bobby pin that way it makes it really easy and hides all of your bobby pins. Then you take your very last section and pin that down and into the bun again. So now we have left is our finishing touches. If your hair is a little shorter, you might just have little curls that are hanging out on top of your bun, and you can just leave those if your hair's a little longer take the curls and arrange them on top of the bun. However, you like and then pin into the bun, basically use the bun as your pin cushion to pin these curls. However, you want - and you can do this as messily or as daintily as you like, whatever fits your style the and then once you have all those pins in place, guess what you're done so, basically, all you have to do is curl the front and pin pieces Back and then that's it and you could even make a messy bun at the bottom here. If you wanted to go a little bit more bohemian or you could do a braided bun. If you wanted to do that as well, because I know a lot of you guys - love braids so anyway, I hope you guys try this out, make sure to send me pictures. I would love to see and make sure to check out my previous video as well. If you're looking for some prom hair inspiration, I love you guys I'll see you my next video mwah bye,

Madeline Rodriguez: This is such a pretty updo and so simple! I live in the Caribbean, so it's extremely hot and humid right now so I think I could rock a messy version of this. You are by far my favorite hair guru! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
☆White Fox Stopmotion☆: This is beautiful and sooo easy! Thank you so much, I needed a last-minute fancy hairstyle for an event tonight and this turned out perfect!
Alyssa: It's easy but looks like it took a lot of time but it is so quick! Thanks for this, I did my sister's hair like this for her confirmation today :)
Abbey Stanley: Thanks for the great tutorial! I did this on myself for prom and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Thalinna Lynn: I just finished this hairstyle! Absolutely love it.
Evangelia: i did this hairstyle for my graduation.really easy, everybody loved it .thanks for the video!!! p.s. it really makes a difference if your curl your hair.
Jess Morrison: love it! i feel like i relate to you so much more now that i've watched your last video :) my prom is soon, i'm definitely thinking about an updo... this one looks perfect!
