Updo



I'm really, really loving "up" hair at the moment. It could possibly be because our weather has been so wacky and weird lately and the wind is always going 90 to nothin'. It's impossible to have perfectly tousled "down" hair when it's practically coming a tornado outside.

I've been collecting photos from Pinterest lately with updos that I'm determined to master try this winter/spring. Some of my favs:






I'm picky about the front of an updo, too. It has to be undone and slightly wavy, IMHO. I spent darn near 20 minutes getting the front pieces of my low bun perfectly "bent" last week.

Mission accomplished? Meh.


My favorite updo of all time still remains my wedding day hair, though : ) I'm still over-the-moon that my stylist Jennifer was able to capture exactly what I described to her. She's good...real good.



What types of updos are your favorite? Any tutorials you've seen anywhere lately for cute "up" hairstyles?

Be blessed, lovelies-

  1. I just love me a good updo...so fabulous! Especially all of those that you Pinned! Your hair looks SO good up... I need to get better at doing up dos--Andrew always mentions he likes it when it's up. Guess I should take the hint, huh? Miss you, sweet girl. Praying for you! Hope your week has been lovely so far!

  19. Oh yes, I am loving updo's as well. I am a teacher so it is so much easier to not worry about hair in my face! I love to try new hair styles...some are huge flops, but others are tried and true....I think your mission was accomplished! So cute!!! I'm really loving that scarf too!! Is it cream?

    Happy Friday, love!
