Up-Dos

Before

Bow Up-Do

Section hair into two equal parts from ear to ear. Equality, weight, is quite important. Clip top section out of the way. Take bottome/back section and put it in a pony tail in the middle fo the back part of the head. Attach two hairnets to the base of the pony tail. Take the pony tail and back-comb toroughly. Smooth hair back and sligthly off-center. Twist hair clockwise and loop under the back-combed ponytail till it reaches the other side. Back bomb the second pony tail and smooth surface hair. Put in second hair net. Loop it over the two fingers and pin in a loop at forty-five degree angle up from the base of the pony tail. Now, back to the first ponytail made from the bottom section. Take hair and loop over your fingers in a forty-fine degree angle continuing on the same line as the other loop. As you loop and pin, brin the ends out of the top of the loop and drape of the center piece where the hair band is. Pin inside the first loop.

For this updo I sectioned the hair into two basic sections (from ear to ear). I clipped the front section out the way. I took the back section and put in in a low pony tail. I back-combed this pony tail; then, I smoothed the surface hair. I put this teased pnytail into a hair net. Then I twisted the hair around gently to create a bun at the nape of my mankin's neck and secured it with hair pins. I started on the top section by creating a small section about one inch wide right above the nose. This I twisted under (clockwise) and pinend straight down under the bun. I then went to Section # 1's right and created Section 2, the same size and twisted under. It I crossed over Section 1 and pinned to the bottom of the bun. Then I went the left of Section 1 and did the same as I did to section 2, only this twist I crossed over both Sections 1 and 2. I continued in the manner till I finished with all the leftover hair. I took the ends fromt the twists and tiwsted and curled them in such a way that they look neat but at the same time, messy. I neat, messy look. :)

Bun with Twists Updo

Loops Updo

This updo I also started with an ear to ear parting. The front I clipped out of the way. I smoothed the back and created a french twist with the ends hanging out. Divided the ends into 2 part. I teased one section then smoothed the outer hair. I looped it around my fingers making a thick stand-up pincurl about 1-2 inches off the head. The long ends left from the pin curl I just moved out of the way to use later. I did the same with the other part then moved on the the front section. This I split into three sections. The center section is a triangle that has its three points at each temple and at the top of the french twist (depending on how high that is made on the head). I took the right front section and twisted clockwise, I kept twisting till I got to the top of the french twist. Their I secured it with pins. I teased the ends then smoothed the outer hair. I then looped these in the same manner as the other loops, leaving the long ends lose. I did the same thing with the other two front sections, only the left front was twisted counterclockwise and the middle was twisted clockwise and pushed forward slightly. After my first loops were created I looped the long ends again in such away that the back looeds attractive. If there was still long ends left after the second loop I would loop again. Short ends I just sprayed and arranged to give the updo more texture.

Sculptured Updo

This up I started by dividing into two sections (from ear to ear). The front section I clipped out of the way. I then divided the back into 4 almost triangular sections (although some of the sections can be other shapes). I took each section and made it into a pony tail making sure that I could fit all 4 pony tails into a circle made by my hands. Then I took each pony tail seperatly. I teased it then smoothed the outer hair. Then I attached a hair net over it. I took the pony tail and arranged it on the head in a wave pattern using bobby/hair pins to hold in place. Then I did the same with the rest of the 3 back ponytails. Going back to the front I parted it on a diagonal. I took both parts of the front section and smoothed them to the nape of her neck where I put them together in a pony tail. I then teased, smoothed, hairneted, shaped and pinned this pony take like I did the others.

For this updo I started by dividing into two sections. The first section was a triangualar section of hair in the front from the right temple, almost to the crown and to the ear. The second section was all the left over hair. I took the second section and put it into a high pony tail. I then took out a section about 1/6th of the ponytails size and rapped it around the base loosely, pinning it in place. Then I took the ponytail and teased it, smoothing the outher hair. Going back to the first section I smoothed it over the ear and pinned it under the pony tail in a makeshife french twist. I then took the teased/smoothed pony tail and gripped the bottom with two fingers twisting under. I then pinned the pony tail in and almost upsidedown seashell shape leaving the pinched ends out. These I smoothen and then looped back towards the ponytail.

Teased Pony-tail Updo

Bun with Twists Updo

For this updo I divided the hair into two sections (again) :). The fron section from behind both ears to the crown. This I clipped out of the way. I took the back section and parted in in half verticaly. I first took the left half and braided so that in would overlap the right section/half. Then I did the same to the right side, braided it so that it went over the left half. I then took both braids and circled them into buns on both sides of the nape, pinning as I went. After I finished with the back section I went to the front and smoothed the hair back to the high pony tail. This I twisted downwards to make an upsidedown french twist. I left the ends hanging as I pinned the twist in place. Then, I teased them, smoothing the outer hair. I took my first two fingers and pinched the teased/smoothed ends in the middle twisting under to form a seashell shame. I pinned this in place leaving the ends out. These new ends I then looped back toward the twist To finish the style I added a small bunch of flowers.
