Up Do's - Swept Up And Simple

A popular trend for up do's this Fall is swept up and simple. I have had a lot of requests at the salon for looks that have the hair curled and twisted back into a low bun or braided bun. This look is great because it's  easy to achieve by yourself and has a laid back feel to it. The days of slicking the hair back and tight curls on the top of the head are out the door. Below are examples of this look that I have done.





Here is a some tips for achieving this look.
1. Curl your hair with a one inch curling iron.
2. Run your finger through the curl to break up the curl.
3. Section the back from the top and sides.
4. Pull the back into a bun. Pinning until you get the placement you like.
5. Take the sides and front and pin back at random. Twisting and placing them around the bun.
6. Lastly, (my secret step) mess it up! Take the top and sides and loosen it from the bobby pins. This creates that extra "soft" look.
Good luck doing the swept up and simple up do!

    I have a feeling I'm going to be visiting your blog often. I love trying to reinvent my hair and now that it has grown longer I feel like I can do more with it. This is one look I definitely want to do myself for prom. The instructions are helpful, and are the pictures from the salon that you work at?
