Jessica’s Effortless Up-do

This messy style is kept looking sophisticated with smoothed out front pieces. Hair is parted, teased, and tousled back up into pins which offers lots of dramatic elements and interest. Platinum blonde ends flow out of darker blended roots, which is a personal taste decision. I personally say – work it!





How to Style:

1. Hair should be a little bit dirty and not too clean so plan ahead for this look on the day after a shampoo. A little grit in the hair will help with the texture and style.
2. Spray your hair with some hairspray and brush through to add a little bit of grit and texture to your hair and then part down the center.
3. Using a fine-toothed comb, take small sections of hair at the crown and tease down towards the scalp to create volume and then hairspray into place.
4. Use your fingers to smooth back hair slightly (you still want an unkempt look) and pull hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic.
5. Back comb or tease your ponytail so it’s a little messy and secure with pins into the elastic for a messy bun.
6. Use your fingers to pull some of the layers gently up and out of the bun for an undone feel.
7. Quickly curl the front pieces of hair so the flick out at the bottom and look soft.
8. Blast with a strong hold hairspray!

Recommended Products:
Because this look has lots of texture you can use lots of hairspray without worrying about it looking too stiff. Try Sexy Hair’s Spray and Play Volumizing Hairspray for texture and hold.
Best Hair Type and Face Shape:
Square shaped faces work with this style because of the added height and soft pieces around the face. When you create a hairstyle that is soft and has texture it tricks your eye to focus on those elements. All clients should try this style.
Tip: Have all your tools out and organized, ready to go before starting an up-do. You’ll need a clean and neat workspace so you can grab what you need easily.
