Loose 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.

Another great loose curl updo is created by using a large barrel curling iron.  When using a large barrel curling iron to create loose curls wrap your hair around the curling iron rather than the usual and traditional way of using a curling iron.  Wrapping your hair around the large barrel rather than holding your hair in place with the curling iron in the traditional sense will create beautiful loose curls with out the crimping that can sometimes happen while using a curling iron.  Once you have made the loose curls in your hair use a finishing spray to hold the curls in place.  When the curls have been set with the finishing spray you can then begin to create a halfdo.  Take a few curls from either side of your head and pull them toward the back center of your head.  Use bobby pins to pin each curl to your head and repeat until you have a nice amount of curls pinned up.  Make sure that your curls hang nice and loosely down the back of your head and place a beautiful jeweled clip in the center of the pinned up hair.  By pulling back only part of your hair you will have created a beautiful halfdo that looks both elegant and fun.
