Updos are the best way to not only hide a
bad hair day, but
also glam up a dress, especially if it’s a wedding you're attending. Here are
some tips and tricks to getting your bun, bouffant or French knot just right.
1. Don't shy away from volume in the front; it will help balance out the bun in
the back. Add drama with
hair accessories.
2. Use a texturizer like
Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturizing Spray at
the roots to add bounce and softness to your locks and makes sure they don't
look flat, limp and oily.
3. Use hot rollers to give your hair volume, but don't forget to coat your
locks with
Toni & Guy Heat Protection Mist first.
4. Plaits, knots and curls add texture to buns and make them interesting, so
don't be afraid to add your own twists to a simple updo.
5. If you must use extensions, don't go too long, or choose a colour that will
stand out against the rest of your hair.
6. Choose an updo style that flatters your face (for example, volume at the
crown offsets a round face), not just something that's on trend.
7. Don't use too much hairspray, because it will make your hair hard.
8. Do remember to set the style with finishing spray, like
Toni &Guy Moisturising Shine Spray.
9. If you're adding highlights to your hair, make sure they are also applied to
the underside of your locks, which will be visible by an updo.
