A Classic Updo Hairstyle with a Contemporary Edge | 3 Easy Steps
Gigi Hadid’s undone updo hairstyle has a classic elegance. The textured finish gives a modern edge to this romantic look.
1. Style on Dry Hair
Style on dry hair. Start with a fine spritz of Styling Mist for Volume to add texture and volume. Gently push the volumizer into the hair and tease the roots with your fingers or a comb give the hair some texture; this will help prevent the bun from slipping out. Create a centre parting and focus on getting some lift at the crown.
2. Keep it Loose
Make a low, loose ponytail at the nape of the neck and secure it with a band. Maintain a loose hold. So the hair is not too close to your scalp. If you want more volume, apply another spritz of Styling Mist for Volume. Tease the hair with fingers, pulling and allowing pieces to fall out of the band.
3. Rough Dry Hair with Head Upside Down for Tousled Hair
Loosely plait the back of your hair and twist it into a loose bun. Secure the bun with hair pins to finish.
TIP | If your hair is curly, skip teasing, as it will have lots of texture and hold naturally.
Hair Styling | Tips and Take Aways
My mantra for everything in life, and especially hair, is to keep it simple.
The most important piece of advice I have when styling hair is that less is more.
This undone updo style is all about minimal styling and its the perfect style to put my ‘less is more’ approach in to practice.
I’ve shared my top 3 tips for styling below.
1. Use Less Product
When using styling products, use a little. Overdo it, and you risk the hair becoming difficult to style.
Improve your styling game with my natural hair styling products. They give your control whilst leaving your hair with natural movement.
Plus, they seal split ends to leave you with the perfect finish.
2. Dry your Hair for Less Time
In my experience, most of us over-dry the hair. It’s not necessary to get the hair completely dry when you are working with a hairdryer. When hair is too dry, it loses its flexibility.
Adding moisture to your hair with my deep conditioner will improve flexibility and help your hair to hold the style. Use Restore and Shine Hair Masque once a week to improve your hair’s flexibility and get better styling results.
3. Don't Overwork the Hair
The hair can become flat if you touch it too much. Remember your undone updo shouldn’t look too done. You want this style to have texure and movement.
