hey guys today I want to share with you one of my favorite types of hairstyles
and one of those hairstyles that looks way more difficult than it actually is
it's really easy beautiful and elegant updo if you're somebody that struggles
of doing your own hair or you need a last-minute hairstyle for a wedding then
this is the hair tutorial for you so let's get started for the first step of
this hairstyle we want to create some volume so go ahead gather all of the
hair at the top of your head and just separate it from the rest and then
tightly secure it off with a small hair elastic or bobby pin and it should be
sitting at about the base of your crown now for that volume so I'm holding the
base of my ponytail with my left hand and I'm using my index finger and my
thumb on my right hand and I'm just grabbing half inch sized sections of
hair around my crown and I'm just gently pulling them up just a little bit and
what this is going to do is give us a volume without having to tease our hair
and you can see here what a difference this step makes now for the next step we
want to grab all of the hair at this side of your face so I like to just draw
a line down from the top of my head to the back of my ear and that's our first
side section now with this side section make sure it's nice and smooth and you
just want to pull it nice and tight across the back of your head and you
want to make sure that it's covering up that hair elastic
keeping it nice and tight we can secure it with some bobby pins you can also
secure it with the hair elastic but what I like to do is insert my bobby pins on
angles so they're crossing over one another so I'm inserting my first one
upward to the left and then I'm taking a second one and inserting it downwards to
the left to create that cross I notice afterwards I've missed a small piece of
hair from the bottom of my section so I inserted one extra one just up the
middle to gather it all in next you want to repeat the same steps on the other
side so what I like to do is section off my side by drawing a line down from the
top of my head to the back of my ear once you have your section pull it nice
and tight across the back of your head and this time try your best to cover up
those bobby pins and then you'll want to secure the section as close to the
bottom of that first section as you can so that it helps hide the bobby pins so
keeping this section nice and tight I just entered in my bobby pins on angles
so they are crossing over one another and then I added a third one so that
it's extra secure next step easy divide the rest of your hair into three
equal sections and do a three strand and braid all the way down until you reach
the end of your hair I've been crossing the sections underneath one another
instead of over just helps to keep everything nice and tight throughout the
day once you've reached the end of your braid secure it with a hair elastic and
I like to not pull my ends all the way through so that they form a small little
bun that way my ends won't poke up now that your braid is secured you just want
to pancake it so that looks less braid like when we roll it up so just use your
index finger and thumb and just pull on the outside of the braid until it's nice
and big I always overdo it when it comes to pancaking
but don't worry too much you can always adjust it after you've rolled it
now for the fun part grab the bottom of your braid and roll it upwards along
itself towards your head nice and tight and you want to try to position the roll
against those lower bobby pins so that it helps cover them up
once you finish rolling and you've reached your head that you just want to
begin Bobby pinning it into place I like to first roughly bobby pin mine just by
securing the outside of the braid to my head just to make sure that I like the
placement and everything's nice and straight and then I go ahead and insert
bobby pins into the center of my roll just to ensure that everything is extra
secure and there we have you guys that's it that's how simple it is to achieve
this beautiful up to you and if you don't get it right away don't be
discouraged it happens to me all the time with hairstyles I just don't always
film it but keep practicing and I promise you'll get it and if you do
