They are quite simple and truthfully, the most beautiful updos are the simple organic ones. All you need is a curling iron, bobby pins and a little teasing!

Instructions:
1.We started this style with the hair sprayed with textured spray (surf spray) Then we continued with curling from roots to ends. We used a 1 inch curling iron.

2. Gather the crown section (top of the head, where you usually want volume) tease and pin in middle of back of head. (leave a few “whispy’s around the face for a more relaxed look)

4. With the left over hair on bottom, lightly tease the hair from bottom to top (this will help give the bun some grit for pinning) Beginning flipping the hair into itself. Continue rolling it up to the top pinned section.
