Loose Curl Updo HairstlyeLoose Curls Updo Hairstyle

Loose curls are a very popular style with many women who are trying to find the perfect hairstyle for a formal event.  Creating a hairstyle that uses loose curls is a great way to try an updo or even a halfdo hairstyle.  Loose curls are a fun way to create both elegant and classy hairstyles.

One elegant style you can try is a ringlet inspired updo.  To accomplish this hairstyle you will need to wash your hair at least twenty four hours before you want to wear this updo, as dirty hair works best to keep and hold the curls in place.  After you wash your hair use a diffuser to help create tight ringlets in your naturally curly hair.  If you do not have naturally curly hair you will need to set your hair overnight on tiny rag, foam or spiral curlers to create a lot of wonderful curls.  Once you have your curls created you will need to form a half ponytail in your hair and then loop that half ponytail around itself to create a loop.  Pin this with bobby pins to hold the loop in place.  Once this step is done you can take the bottom half of your hair and part it in the middle.  Take one section and pull up toward the base of the half ponytail.  Pin the curls as close to the base of the half ponytail to create balance.  Repeat with the other side of your parted hair and secure with bobby pins.  Once you have completed the steps you will have created a beautiful ringlet updo.
