An “updo” has long been the quintessential chic and sleek hairstyle for many women. An updo can take your look from drab to fab in just minutes. With the right amount of drama, and a little bit of flair, the updo can work for both work and social occasions. We asked celebrity hair stylist Eugene Davis to create a special look just for the Q+A UK stylista and the result was a sultry style that can be recreated in 5 simple steps.
STEP 1. First, prep the damp hair with Aussie “Take The Heat” Leave-in Spray (aussiehair.com). Comb the product through to make sure the hair is protected before applying heat.
STEP 2. Next add Aussie “Aussome Volume” Conditioning Mousse (aussiehair.com), to ensure you get the volume you need without a lot of teasing.
STEP 3. Rough dry the hair with a warm blow dryer to create volume. “By doing this, you create volume but also to keep some of the natural texture.”
STEP 4. “Because I wanted a modern twist on the early 70′s up do; I crimped sections throughout the hair to look almost undone.” Spray a few pumps of Aussie “Aussome Texturising” Conditioning Gel Spray (aussiehair.com) to further enhance the texture.
STEP 5. Once the texture is achieved, shape the hair into mod updo with a side sweep fringe and fullness in the crown. To finish off the look, so it will hold for a night of festivities, try L’oréal Paris Studio Line Volume Spray Silk & Gloss Extra Volume (lorealparis.ca) to give that added sparkle.
