An Updo That Won’t Make Fine Hair Fall Flat

If you have fine hair, you know the struggle is real when it comes to rocking an updo. Braids don’t fill out the way they should, and ballerina buns always end up on a miniature scale. But don’t fret, fine-haired ladies: We’ve got a gorgeous updo that’s perfect for your specific hair type. Watch to see how it’s done.

Step 1: Spray sections of your hair with wax spray and tease with a comb to amp up the volume.

Step 2: Use a boar's-hair brush to smooth one side of your hair back and pin with bobby pins.

Step 3: Use the brush to smooth the other side back as well. Twist the hair starting at the nape of your neck, working your way toward the crown of your head and pin in place with bobby pins. 

Step 4: Tuck any loose ends into your ’do and secure loose pieces with extra pins. You’ve officially got a new go-to style.
