Updos tend to be more flattering when a few tendrils or pieces of hair escape the twist. Use your fingers to pull out a few face-framing tendrils to make the style look a little less done. This prevents you from looking like a school marm or escapee from a Robert Palmer video from the 1980s.
Tips:
- Use ponytail holders and bobby pins that are neutral or match your hair color for a sophisticated look. Try the Goody Colour Collection, which offers hair accessories in four shades: blonde, brunette, red and black.
- If your dress or top has to go on over your head, get dressed before starting to style your updo.
- Sleep with your hair in this twist for gentle waves the morning after.
