Whether it’s glamorous and sophisticated or carefree and fun, the updo is a style that never goes out of fashion. You can wear it to work in the morning, and it will hold its shape for an evening party, provided you secure it properly and use lots of hairspray.
Here are my favorite updo tips for curly hair:
- It is a good idea to practice your updo of choice before you have to wear it so as to avoid over-manipulation of the hair (which can lead to loss of curl definition”>.
- Make sure your hair is well-moisturized, paying particular attention to any loose or flyaway pieces.
- Use edge gel. Nicely laid edges can complete your style, particularly if you are going for a formal, elegant look. If you have grays at the hairline, black edge gel or another color that matches your own such as these can cover them as well.
- Finish with shine-enhancing hairspray for sheen and hold.
