Transcript: Quick and Easy Updo

You'll need:- hair spray
- mousse
- a flat brush
- a ponytail holder
- bobby pins
- a brooch to decorate your up-do
Best Hair Texture for Updos
To do an updo at home, you're going to put a little moose into dry hair. I wouldn't shampoo the hair the day of the updo or the event, a little bit of oil in the hair is best for the hair to stay together.Volume in Updos
If you like a little volume in the crown area, before you make your ponytail, you can always take your comb and put in some backcombing. The way to backcombing is a circular motion. Hold tight here, and circle here.Pull the Hair Into an Updo
Now we've created some lift in the crown. Again taking the brush, and putting the hair into a low ponytail. Take your ponytail holder, and you can do this one of two ways: Take the hair, and only pull it half way through.Or you can pull it all the way through, creating a low ponytail on the back of the head, then taking a piece of hair from underneath the ponytail, sprits a little hairspray, wrap it around the ponytail holder.
Finish the Easy Updo
Take your hair pin, or bobby pin, place it into the ponytail. Then you can take a broach, take a bobby pin and slide it through the metal piece, then take the bobby pin and slide it into the updo.Thanks for watching, to learn more visit us at style.about.com.
