Mini Tutorial of My Updo That Makes Hair Look Fuller (Pics)

[Hairsnob]

Some of you ladies asked how I did my updo that creates the illusion of a full bun. I did a quick mini-tutorial.

Here are the pics of my updo from weeks ago:

And here is what I did to get this updo:

PLEEEZE ignore the frizzy, dry looking hair (and the beady beads in the kitchen LOL).erplexed I just washed it and I'm trying to lay off the heat a bit so it is what it is (the updo pics above were weeks ago after a fresh relaxer/flat-iron).

Step 1:
Comb hair down and twist both sides and pin to the middle.

Step 2:
Pull remaining hair from the back up toward the crown area. The trick is to pull it up higher than your other pinned hair.

Step 3:
Tuck the hair ends underneath with a hair pin and then put a barrette over it to cover it.

This is all I ever to do my hair. My hair is dense but when it is straightened, it is so light and wispy so I do updos like this. I think until my hair gets longer, when it is straight, it just looks better up like this.
