Hey guys, I have a super fun video to share with you. Last week I went to an event with Redken and they had one of their Redken stylists. Their show us a couple of hairstyles and I fell in love with this super simple, elegant updo, and I knew that you guys would too so I wanted to recreate it and share it. So, let's go ahead and get started for this hairstyle. You want to add some volume and some texture into your hair, especially if it's clean, so we're going, go ahead and add some of the Redken Pillow Proof dry, shampoo into my hair, this one's for light shades, it's their clear formula, but they also have one for It brunettes that has brown pigment in it, so you have to worry about it, leaving a white cast, so the stylist actually recommended that you spray the dry shampoo, a cans width away from your head. You also recommended sectioning off your hair, but I'm too lazy. So all I like to do is lift up this section of my hair focus the product around the crown and just make sure that you are spraying it upwards into your roots, and then you just want to massage it in. This is the best part WOO. You see all the volume that it gave me obviously need to brush my hair a little bit but yeah it's incredible and it smells so good you guys, and if your hair is on the thinner side, you can also focus some dry shampoo on these shafts of Your hair, to give it even more grit, but I'm gon na turn around and show you how easy this hairstyle is: go ahead, throw all of your hair behind your shoulders and part it as normal. First thing you want to do is grab a small section of hair from behind your ear, that is at least an inch in size and just place it out of the way for now next to repeat the same step on the other side of your head. Grubbing about a 1 inch size section of hair from behind your ear, now take those two sections and join them together at the back of your head for this, hairstyle is important to ensure that all of your hair is smooth and not caught in the back, and Once it is just go ahead and secure it tightly with the hair elastic then pull on both sides of your ponytail just to help slide that elastic nice and close to your head, and it should look similar to this. You should still have hair hanging down at the sides of your head in front of those small sections, and you just want to toss it out of the way for now. Okay, now, for the fun part, it's starting on the left side grab a section of hair. That'S about one to two inches wide. It doesn't have to be perfect. Now that you have your first section, you want to tightly wrap it up and over those sections from earlier and just make sure that you pull it all the way through and that's it. It'S really that simple. So now I'm going to grab a slightly smaller section or right beside my first one, just to help add some dimension and again I'm just wrapping it up and pulling it through, and you just want to repeat this until you reach the middle of your head and It should look a little similar to this and I promise it will all come together now. You just want to repeat the exact same steps on the right side, working with one to two inch sized sections mix it up, and I even did this with curled hair. The other day and it looked even more effortless and if you've ever done, an updo with a headband or headband curls you'll recognize this technique, because it's very similar and once you've reached the middle. You just want to continue wrapping your ends, and if your hair is on the shorter side, this will be even easier and faster, so just keep grabbing one to two inch size sections and pulling them up and through until your hair is almost completely wrapped. I like to leave my ends just poking out for now now, before we pin it into place, you want to grab your side sections and I like to give them a little twist away from my face and then same as all the previous sections you just want To wrap them up and over and pull them through the hair that we tied back earlier and then keep wrapping until you've reached your ends. Repeat this on the other side, and this step is just going to give you a really pretty side swoop, and you can also braid these. If you wanted to now, you can go ahead and pin it into place, I'm starting with my ends, so I'm just pulling them up tightly and then tucking them underneath and securing them into place against my head for the rest of it. This updos quite effortless. So don't worry too much! I just like to grab sections and then insert a bunch of bobby pins tightly against my head and then once it's all pinned into place, you can go ahead and pull on some small sections at the crown of your head. Just to help create some more volume, so there you have it that's how easy it is to achieve this messy yet elegant updo. I really hope you guys love this hairstyle as much as I did. I just think it's so effortless and perfect for everyday. You could wear it to work. I think it's great for a special occasion. You could wear this to a wedding, as I have a similar hairstyle to this. That'S a little more sleek and put together and I'll link that one down below for you guys, but I really hope you found this video helpful if you did don't forget to give it a thumbs up comment down below. Let me know what you thought and I will talk to you guys in my next video bye

They use a ton of bobby pins (which I dont have), and heaps of styling products. You dont. You are amazing, and talented and beautiful. Your tutorials are always so easy and simple, but they look amazing, and you genuinely look like you are enjoying yourself, and that's amazing. I honestly dont know how you dont have way more subscribers! I definitely know where to come when I need a new hairstyle. Thank you❤ P.s. I subscribed xx P.p.s. and post notifications are on❤
