Styling Your Natural Updo

The right tools, techniques, and products are essential for achieving stylish and polished natural updos.
THE RIGHT TOOLS: A rat-tail comb achieves precise parting to establish the sections for your updos. A combination of both hair pins and bobby pins are key to anchor the rolls and smooth edges with the right amount of tension.
BLOW DRY FOR LENGTH: Updo styles often require volume to support the fluff needed for maximum height and texture. You can achieve added length and volume by airforming, or blow drying the hair first.
MAINTAIN CORRECTLY: Updos are designed to be easy to maintain and last you a few days, while still looking polished. Try an edge smoother with a scarf to prevent frizzy edges. Be sure to protect your updo with a satin bonnet large enough not to compress the style at night. Refresh your style with a daily moisturizer and re-roll if necessary.
