  • #3 Romantic Style

    Written by Irene Bredthauer

    This super stunning updo is super simple to do. With just a little teasing and a few pins, you’ve got a fresh look to take out on the town!

    How To Style:

    1. Prep strands with heat protectant or a light hold hairspray.
    2. Use a medium-sized curling iron to curl your entire head of hair. You can choose to keep the curls loose or tight depending on the look you want.
    3. Tease the top crown a bit for volume, then smooth over.
    4. Wrap one side of your hair around the back as tightly as you can and use about five or so bobby pins to secure.

    Always try to hide your pins as much as possible. You can buy bobby pins and hair pins in an array of colors to match your hair shade, so take advantage of those! If you can still still see them, throw in a chunky hair barrette or flower to add some pizazz and hide your pin work.

    2. Tease the hair at the crown of your head to create a thick cushion for some serious volume.
    3. Gently smooth the teasing down a bit with a brush or your fingers.
    4. Create a deep side part, then pull each side back tightly and pin just under your teased crown section.

    Recommended Products:

    Try Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hairspray to keep your teasing and pinning in place.

  • #12 Swept Away

    Written by Irene Bredthauer

    2. Use a comb to tease the top of your head to add some volume.

    RecommendedProducts:

    Try the medium hold hairspray from Garnier Fructis.

    Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

    If you have bangs, wear them forward or use bobby pins to keep them back and secured.

  • #15 Straight Up

    Written by Irene Bredthauer

    This unique, teased hairstyle is a take on a modern bouffant. Stick straight strands are taken to the next level by adding some volume and a slicked back sheen.

    How To Style:

    1. Flat iron your entire head of hair so strands are nice and smooth.
    2. Spray your roots with a hairspray and then begin to tease the roots on top of the head with a comb.
    3. Use a brush to gently sweep strands up and back away from the face.
    4. Once your bouffant is in place – use a strong hold hairspray to lock in your look.

    RecommendedProducts:

    Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

    This straight hairstyle may be too harsh for square shaped faces. The thicker your hair and the straighter it is naturally makes it more ideal for this style.

    Tip:

    Don’t be afraid to tease your roots. You actually want to tease the hair and make it a tad bigger than you are aiming for. Once you brush the hair back and smooth it out you will lose some of the volume.
