Keio, so being that it's wedding season and a lot of people are getting updos, I decided to do three simple updates that you can achieve all by yourself right at home for any special occasion. So if you're interested stay tuned, so my hair has been straightened for over a week now. So this is the perfect base for an updo, I'm going to start off by making a middle part. Now, I'm just going to take some hair around my face to add some softness to the look now using a rubber band. I'M making a low ponytail be sure that it's a little loose for the next step. Now here I'm making a hole at the base of the ponytail and passing the Cloney tail through that hole and then filling it completely through. Now, I'm just going to twist the ends. You can also braid it depending on your length, but my hair is medium length. So I'm just going to twist it and now I'm just going to tuck the ends of the twists under and pin it in place. Now to add the finishing touches, I'm using kaleidoscope, sleek edges, to smooth out my edges and tame the flyaways. Now I'm going to use kaleidoscope, versatile spritz to wand curl my face framing, and this is a weightless light holding spritz, that's going to control, static and resist humidity, and Lord knows I need that because this is Louisiana and it is humid, it's healthier. So I can use the spritz generously and plus it smells so good after missing the entire style. I'M just going to pass my wand to smooth down any flyaways and just to polish up the look now to add some shine, I'm going to use kaleidoscope Diamond shine. I love this shine fur because it's super lightweight, it's not greasy and it adds a nice amount of shine to my hair, and here is the finished. Look super easy, soft and romantic now for this style, I'm going for a deep side part. So that's what I'm just going to make here with a rat tail comb and I'm starting off with kaleidoscope, sleek edges to tidy up my baby hairs. Next, I'm taking a section out of the front and clipping it out of the way. Now, I'm just going to create a low side ponytail, I'm now going to spray the versatile spritz on my hands and then proceed by flat, twisting my bangs to the sides towards my side, ponytail - and I start my twist off closer to my hairline and then when I get towards the ends more towards the ponytail I'll loosen the twist up and when I'm done twisting, I use a rubber band to secure the end. Now, I'm just going to twist the ponytail and secure the ends with the rubber band and when that's done now, I'm just going to go ahead and wrap the twist around the base of the ponytail and secure with bobby pins. Now this step is completely optional, but I'm going to loosen up the front twist by pulling it gently like such and I'm going to do this while I'll hold the ends of the twist. Now I'm going to take it and wrap it around the base of the twisted bun and then I'm going to pin it in place. Now I'm using kaleidoscope, versatile spritz for a light hole and I'm going to follow that up with kaleidoscope diamond shine for some shine, and this is the finished look once again simple and sleek now for style number three, so you can tweak the front. However, you like take some hair out in the front, make a park, but I'm just going to go ahead and leave it all out of my face. Now I'm taking a high ponytail with my bangs as such and using a rubber band you're, definitely going to need some rubber bands for this style now right, underneath that ponytail I'm going to make another one in the center of my head, while pulling from the side. Now I have two ponytails next, I'm going to split the top ponytail and I'm going to put the bottom one in between the top one now hold on to that and pull the hair from the sides and add it to whatever you're holding and then make a Ponytail using a rubber band now we're back to having two ponytails once again split the top one in half put the bottom ponytail between the top one and now pull hair from the sides and make a ponytail with the split ponytail at the top and secure it With a rubber band from there on you keep on with that pattern, the top ponytail is always the one to be split, and the bottom one is the one you're going to put in between men. I hope my instructions come clear. It'S a little hard to explain but really simple once you get into the flow. So when I get to the bottom, I'm just going to go ahead and break the loose ends and secure the ends with a rubber band from here. You can leave the braids hanging, but to keep it simple and sleek I'm going to go ahead and tuck it underneath and pin it in place. Now I'm going to finish off this look, starting with some sleek edges by kaleidoscope and a toothbrush, so I decided to pull out some hairs on the side of my ears just to soften up the look and just add some framing to my face, and now I'm Just going to simply use my wand to curl those very loosely now I'm using kaleidoscope, versatile spritz to lay the flyways down, and next I'm going to use my curling wand to smooth out the look even more because I have some flyaways and a few layers of Poking out of my braids now, this step is optional, but I'm just going to go ahead and tug on the braid as such, just to make it a little bit bigger, and I'm going to finish this style off with diamond shine. Now this style was a little more complex to explain to you, but I promise you that it's super simple once you get the rhythm and I really love this style because it kind of looks expensive and it's super simple. It'S glam with a slight edge to it. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful thanks. So much for watching and comment down below which style you plan on trying.

SaintHannahs: Haha I have my hair straightened right now and was going to wash it tomorrow because I was over it but then I watched this and was like, "let me get creative first!" Thanks for the ideas! You did a great job on all three.

Portia Lewis-Gray: - I absolutely LOVE this video and all of the styles! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tashron Tyson: Thanks for those simple but sophisticated hairstyles. When I do flat iron my hair in a few months, I'd definitely try all three. By then you might have more styles for me to try. How long do you normally keep your hair straight?

sunstar93: I will attending a wedding this month and i'm going to try one of these :) I like them all, but the last one was my fave. Thanks!
Kay K: I really love this video especially the last style. Just a FYI that I (a hair novice) didn't realize in the beginning... if you're hair is not all (or mostly) one length like hers you will have to do a extra soothing steps to get the same look...or if you're like me just rock a messier version of these styles as the shorter pieces will be popping out.
kerducky: Hello YoursNaturally11! Excellent tutorial A++!! I a love all 3 style but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE style no.3!!! These style are like something I would do on my Barbie dolls and baby dolls hair when I was younger, wishing it was my hair lol! I have medium length hair as well but, but BUT my bangs and sides aren't nearly as long as yours and so they stunt the looks that I would like to achieve with my styles but I'm not complaining I just want them to hurry up and grow so I can try these styles! Thanks so much for sharing and this Fabulousness is going on my GG+ page, pronto! : )...oh and great job on the thumbnail, it stopped me dead in my natural hair watching tutorial tracks lol!
Lisa Marie Anthony: I will be trying #3. Love it and thanks for sharing

T Lajoy: Looks elegant, I plan on trying all 3. I currently do a similar one where I part hair on one side, then with the fuller side I start a french braid over one ear, then braid around the back of my head all the way to the back of the opposite side to make a side pony or I twist the pony into a one-sided bun. I use my curling iron to lightly curl soft long bang in the front, and finish all off with edge control, spritz and shine. Now I have three more updos to add to my straightened natural hair. Thanks from Texas
lashay maxwell: Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful styles
Her Point Of View LLC #Mor3peac3: Ka-uuuttee!!! i love the last look, you wear that particular style well. I think I'm going to try out the "two strand side bun" style, adding the face framing strands on each side. Such a cute & flattering touch. Xo -Lita
Ashley Moore: I love them all. I an new to the natural hair after taking my locs out. thanks for sharing these. I am learning so much:)))
Kerisa: I love all of these, and thanks for sharing, plus love all of your videos!
Jennifer Wade: Great video. I plan on trying all three but my favorite is the third one. Love you and your family.
Erica Patton: Super cute, style 3 was my fav and it definitely looks like a fancy, expensive style. Does the spritz you use work to prevent the humidity from reverting your natural hair for the loose pieces that frame your face? Or does anyone know of a good product that fights humidity, I'm in hotlanta and it's no joke here!
