Lauren Conrad’s Loose Updo
Lauren Conrad's Updo
Since I am such a fan of Glamour.com, I decided to sign up for their DIY Makeover.. =D And I saw this look, which was just too great for me to pass. So, I wanted to share it with you guys too. Here is an excerpt from Glamour.com…
If fussy hairstyles aren’t your bag, try Lauren Conrad’s laid-back braided ‘do. The California-girl hairstyle works if you live in the Hollywood Hills, Houston or anywhere in between! A pioneer of the recent braided boho hairstyle, Lauren Conrad turned up at the 2008 Emmy Awards with this low-key twist on a red-carpet updo. She makes it seem fresh and formal by adding a few tightly woven strands into her loose, sexy chignon.
Here’s what you need:
- Texturizing Spray
- Hair Dryer
- Hair Pins / Hair Grips
- Curling Iron
Here’s how to get her cool, laid-back look:
- Start by blow-drying clean hair. Spritz with texturizing spray.
- Wrap thick sections around a two-inch-barrel curling iron and gently separate curls with fingers.
- Create two to three thin braids on either side of your part. Don’t braid plaits too tightly—they’ll need to move around for the next step.
- Leaving braids hanging in the front, pull back waves and braids into a loose, messy bun. Twist hair slightly before tucking tails of bun underneath the mound waves and secure with pins.
- Taking one braid at a time, gently pull back each plait and tuck it into waves, securing with pins. Set with light hairspray.
- Loosen a few front pieces to frame the face.
Easy right?? So, why not give it a try? Tell me what you think and comment back.. =D
