Hi and welcome back to Hair With Hollie, with me, Hollie.
Today we are going to be doing this gorgeous Keira
Knightley updo.
So it is very romantic, quite soft, but still, very red carpet and glamorous too.
[Music]
OK.
We are going to start with a deep enough side parting.
Just using the arch of your brow as a guide,
and then pull the hair over to one side.
So we are going to prep the hair with some mousse.
Just have it on your comb and then brush it through the length of the hair getting right
to the very ends.
So we are going to section off the hair now, concentrating on
curling the front bits first.
So just split it at about your ear and clip the rest of the hair back.
If you have a fringe or you have bangs or anything, just pull them over to
one side and we can incorporate them in.
Starting with the front sections of the hair, wrap them around your curling tongs or your
wand, whatever you have.
And in the direction you are going to aim backwards, so kind of, curl back towards the
head and away from the face.
[Music]
So just continue doing this the whole way around the head, all
the time curling away from the face.
So we are curling the entire head, even though we are doing an updo, because,
generally, Keira Knightley has quite tousled hair in her updo.
So by curling the entire head it will give great body and movement is all.
So what we are going to do is just break up the curls gently, either with your fingers,
or using a comb.
Just brush through them
until you have got more of a tousled look.
So Keira has a few different kinds of upstyles she likes to wear
on the red carpet, but today we are going to use one that has a
kind of a curl feature at the front of the head.
So taking your curled hair, roll it up on your fingers, just
like that, and then pin into place using a bobby pin.
[Music]
So you got that quite soft, quite romantic.
An effect.
If you have bangs or a fringe you can just pull it
back and maybe tuck it behind your ear.
Or, you can incorporate them in to the roll is all.
[Music]
Then, just pin in place with a bobby pin.
For updos, it is generally a good idea just to have a bit of volume on the
crown just to stop it looking too flat.
So take a large enough section of hair, and starting about 3 inches
down the shaft, just backcomb to give it a bit of volume.
So once you are happy with the amount of volume you have at the
crown, pin in place, kind of like a half pony.
This is going to be the basis for the rest of the hair.
OK.
So we are going to start building up the updo now.
With the hair that you have left, you might want to backcomb
it slightly.
Especially if you have, maybe, thinner hair, or shorter hair
because, then it will just make the updo look a bit fuller.
And then, really simply, just take sections of the hair.
Try to show off the curl.
And just randomly pin in place.
Keep pinning until you build up quite a lot of volume and
then we can tidy up afterwards.
[Music]
So once you have completed your look, it is a nice idea to add
in some hair clips, or some hair jewellery, just to give it that
real red carpet look.
[Music]
So when you have completed your look it is nice to leave a few
little curls around the front just to frame the face.
Do not worry too much about flyaways, as it is quite
a relaxed, tousled updo.
So once you are happy with everything, add a
good spritz of hairspray and just smooth down any little bits
of hair you have.
So that is how you get Keira Knightley's fabulous red carpet
look.
Thanks for watching the videos, guys.
