Your hairstyle is as important to your physical appearance as the clothes you wear, which is why learning how to do your own hair for any occasion is critical to your overall look. Simple and quick hairstyles may not be something you anticipate needing, especially if you are accustomed to having someone else do your hair, like a friend or stylist. However, there is always the possibility that an emergency or unexpected situation may come up, and when it does it'll be helpful to know how to do your hair on the fly. We all must deal with unforeseen events from time to time, and thus learning a couple simple but elegant updo hairstyles will serve you well whenever you are in a pinch. One hairstyle that is quick and easy to create is the pin curl twist, which can be done in less than five minutes with nothing more than a few barrettes and some hairspray. It is best to use unwashed hair for this style, as it is easier to manage and will retain its shape better. To begin with, brush out a fringe section and secure it with bobby pins. Second, lift the two sections of hair behind each ear back towards the crown of your head and form them into a ponytail. Twist the pony two times toward the back of your head and secure what is left with bobby pins. Do this on both sides and connect the two sides with a bobby pin. You will be left with something resembling a mullet, which you will then roll up around your fingers to form a coil. Pinch and pull out your fingers and secure the pinched area with a bobby pin. Do this with all the remaining strands as well. If done correctly, you will be left with a pretty updo that is slightly messy and casual. Finally, mist with hairspray to make sure it stays in place. For people with curlier hair, pump any loose curls with a curling iron. You are aiming to make sure all the curls, especially those on top of your head, are uniformly luscious. While ironing, be sure to start at the root, and keep in mind that it is not necessary to iron the entirety of every strand. Part of what makes this look so appealing is that it is slightly messy and hence very fun. After pumping up your curls, grab hunks of hair from the back of your head and bobby pin their ends below them so the straight parts of the hair cannot be seen. Apply hairspray to make sure it holds. Finally, put on a thin headband. This achieves the effect of tall, voluminous hair, without being overbearing or towering. It is important to keep the headband close to your forehead so you do not split your dome of curls and end up looking like you have two bumps on your head! I hope you found these 2 quick and easy updo hairstyle suggestions to be useful. If so, then you are ahead of the game. Many people do not plan ahead but doing so by knowing how to take care of your own hair on the fly gives you that extra edge.
