Birthday Hair.....Easy Half Updo

Even though I have already posted my birthday outfit, makeup and nails, I also want to share with you my birthday hair. So here is how I wore my hair on the night of my 26th birthday.


I opted for something simple and easy. The main reason for choosing a simple hair look was the fact that the dress was already bright and bold in terms of colours and the tropical floral print. Also because the dress had an A-line silhouette with a flared skirt I wanted to minimize volume on top and thus avoided wearing my hair curly. Although I would have loved to wear my hair straight either down or half up and half down, I wanted want to show the back details of the dress. So when considering all these factors I limited my option to a sleek hair bun. But after some trials I came up with this sleek simple yet different hair look (at least for me).


HOW TO RECREATE THIS HAIR LOOK
  1. Simply brush your hair backwards (with no ) and take it up in a low ponytail.
  2. With your fingers make a hole in the middle of the ponytail just above the hair bend.
  3. Now flip the ponytail up and pass it through the hole.
  4. Fasten the ponytail and make sure it is balanced at the centre of your head.
  5. Finally use some bobby pins to secure any loose parts and spray your favourite hair spray to make sure this hairstyle holds for as much as you want it to.

If you are wearing a simple dress but want to look more dressed up, you can add a flower or some other hair accessory  either above or below the flip but even at one of the sides. This is a great way to wear your hair when you want it up but not completely. You can wear it for a special occasion, at work but also at school. Because of its simplicity it can look great in different situations when you want to look put together and classy but without looking like you have tried too much. Finally, I am not sure why my hair turned out to be slanted on the left side but I actually liked that particular detail!

STAY FAB
