Ladies' Updos for Spring
While spring should have been here by now, the upcoming season means proms, weddings and celebrations! We love this time of year, when updos let us use a more creative approach to creating a masterpiece!
Just a few great tips on achieving a perfect updo:
- Make sure you wash your hair the day before your big event. This will help because your hair will have a little grip to it from your natural oils, which helps hold curls longer. Fresh, clean hair doesn't hold as well as next day hair.
- Don't put any products in the hair after you wash it because we will put a lot of hairspray, wax and other products to help hold the hair in place.
- Also don't curl or flat iron your hair. It's best if left to air dry so the hair is in its natural state.
- Don't forget to have fun with your stylist creating a flawless natural piece for your big day!
