Everyone kelly here, so i wanted to throw in an extra video this week because i've been gone and not uploading videos for a couple weeks so hope you guys like this. This is actually extremely easy. I think this is one of the easiest updos i've ever uploaded and it's great because it kind of works with like a formal, ish, um hairstyle, so it could work for like prom or homecoming or being a bridesmaid or a bride. Now I had a white dress laying around so I decided just to throw it on to go with this. This is not my wedding dress. I'M anticipating people asking that in the comments so just clear the minds know I would not wear my wedding dress in a video before my wedding, not gon na happen um. So that's it. I hope you guys, like this and I'll, be back next week with more tutorials, be sure to leave me comments with requests for what you guys want to see next and that's it I'll see you guys in my next video what hi first we're going to section This is really easy to separate the hair in front of your ears on either side and make sure to clip them so that they don't get in the way, and that is it for sectioning super easy. Now we're going to bump. It basically go ahead and take the hair from the top that's right behind, where we did that sectioning and tease it, and then you can take another section. That'S about an inch wide and tease that as well you're going to tease up the hair shaft. So you get lots of volume, and this really it doesn't need to be a huge bump. But you really do want at least a little bit of lift there to offset all the volume that we're going to do with the rest of it then go ahead and flip the hair back and smooth it, and once you've got that all smooth you're going to Go ahead and bring it together, and I twisted mine just a little bit just because I like the look that that gives and go ahead and stick a pin up the center of that and pin it into place now. The step next step is to scrunch, basically take a section of hair, a large section of hair and take your fingers and run it down backwards, and you can see it kind of gathers all that hair up together then gather that scrunched here all the way up Together and pin it in place, that looks absolutely crazy, but you can see what i'm doing here is pulling the crazy ends of that down and kind of creating a more cohesive look. So here's another section where I'm pulling up backwards and then kind of arranging it into place and pinning it into place, and then you can see as I pin it, I pin down those really crazy bits so that inside you get this kind of mess, tasseled look, Then I'm taking all of the bottom section, that's left and teasing that with my hand, positioned on top so that the mess kind of stays on top and then rolling it all up together and pinning into that and then you're going to take either side and pin That into place, and that is it for the back now we're going to go ahead and place the front so take the section from the front and arrange it back. However, you like it, I like to mine, swooping, just a little bit like that and then go ahead and pin that into place right against the bun that we just did so that it stays in place really nicely and then go ahead and do the same thing. That we did before with the scrunching step and brush backwards onto your hair and pin it into place and again take those crazy edges and arrange them kind of against your head and pin that into place. Now we're going to do the same thing. On the other side, so I'm just arranging it as I like it and pinning it into place and then you're going to go ahead and backcomb with your fingers just a little bit now. If you have very slippery hair, you might need some hair spray on your hair. Just to give you a little enough hold to do that just a little tip, but if you have thicker hair, that ought to be really easy, then go ahead and arrange those little edges against your head, pin them into place and you are done. That'S it. It'S really nice and simple: you just bump it and then you kind of back comb, your hair and pin it into place and you're done. So it's really nice and easy. It looks like it took forever, but it's really easy and with all that back combing, it's going to hold really really well throughout the day. Now here are some more videos you can check out. If you want to, I always love to show you guys some more options, definitely tweet me pictures if you end up using this hairstyle - and I will see you guys in my next video bye, you
Comments
MsDARRCY: LOVEEE this hairdo! Definitely gonna wear it to a wedding for sure!! Thanks :-D
Sophia Hayes: Gorgeous! Definitely doing this style for my upcoming formal X
K Trujillo: Beautiful look, thanks for sharing! Every one of your hair styles is always super easy and fast, but looks like it took hours. I always have people ask how long it took to do my hair and complimented on the look when I use one of your styles. In this particular style you wouldn't think that the method used would look nice once finished, but it looks great! Thanks again! Xoxo -Keri
Liz Eberwein: This is such a pretty updo! Perfect for prom :) I've tried it a few times and it turns out beautifully. The only alteration i made is to roll the strands of hair into little buns from the ends instead of scrunch-teasing them. Makes for a bit sleeker look and a lot easier to untangle ;) Thank you so much for making this!
Valeria Espinoza: Absolutely loved this! TOTALLY doing this for work and my date tonight. Thanks! Keep posting!
dramagalkay: Thank you so much for doing this tutorial Kayleigh (Sp?). I've used quite a few of your tutorials - always getting GREAT remarks. This one saved my bacon - I had my closing night of the play I directed and I was running late but I was wearing a gown and pearls etc. so I needed a REALLY nice hairdo (my hair is so fine it is gross). Thank you thank you. It looks amazing and elegant.

ileana86224: Youtube really knows what I need! Next Saturday I have a formal event, for which I will only have 2 hours to get ready (shower, hair, makeup).. I was panicking since 2 hours is what a stylist takes to arrange my waist-long hair into a formal updo, which includes curling it.. so I'm trying this today and see if I can pull it off so I can do my hair the day of my event.. thank you so much for this tutorial :D

I was looking for a hairstyle that could work on my short hair ans i saw this. I was so happy because i can do it even if my hair are short! It's really pretty and it looks like i have long hair again because my bun is huge! :D Thanks alot for all the great ideas <3
