The Messy Side Updo

As a hairstylist, I’ve done a lot of wedding hair. The most frequently requested style, and also the most universally flattering, is the low side updo. And the messier the better. I am not a fan of polished, perfect updo’s. They look too “placed on”, instead of lived in!

So here is the tutorial for a low Messy Side Updo! Perfect for any fancy occasion, or if you are just feeling fancy when you go to the grocery store. 🙂

A few things to consider:

1. Hair my length or longer will work with this style. Any shorter and you may have issues with it falling out.

2. The longer the hair, the more bobby pins.

3. You must must MUST have some sort of product in your hair (hairspray is prefered) for it to hold as you are styling it.

4. You can adjust how far to the side it is, based on each section placement.
