I love, love, LOVE updos! They are my secret to salvaging a set gone wrong. *Shhh, don't tell anybody.*
Truth (always) be told, if you see me in an updo, that means my original hair style didn't work out as planned. I always have a plan B.
Last week, I set my hair after using a new product combination of WEN and ORS Repleneshing Pak. Well, between the two of those, my hair was too moisturized! It wouldn't hold squat! This is what my set came out looking like!>>>>>>>>>>>My hair was too heavy and my curls had already begun to fall. But I didn't do all of that work for nothing, so I grabbed some bobby pins and started twisting and pinning.
To create this look, I simply grabbed each section of hair that had been rolled and did a very loose flat twist. I twisted each section clockwise 2-3 times and secured it with a bobby pin allowing the curled ends to be loose. No additional product was used. I positioned mine towards the crown of my head, but you can position it anywhere. Try positioning them to the side or make a low messy bun. Dress it up with accessories!
The idea is to look messy, so don't make any additional parts or use any other tool besides your fingers. Twist and pin. Twist and pin.
For maintenance, unpin one section at a time. Take that section and form a regular flat pincurl to maintain the curl. Sleep in a bonnet or on a satin pillowcase. In the morning, simply take the pincurls down and start twisting and pinning again. Fun and easy!
Not to worry, I will be making a video soon on how to create this look for the visual learners!
