GLAMOROUS HAIRSTYLES:
THE CHINESE UPDO:
Another way to use chopsticks (other than to hog down shrimp fried rice) is to use them for an updo. The look is appropriate for any situation - from the office to going out on the town. Think of it as a bun, but with an exotic flair.
1. Start with towel-drying your hair and then work in a generous amount of gel through it.
2. Pull back all of your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with an elastic band, making sure to keep the hair as smooth as possible and the pony really tight.
3. Separate your ponytail into two smaller ponytails and twist them in opposite directions: one clockwise and the other counterclockwise.
4. Secure the resulting bun with bobby pins, not leaving any loose ends sticking out.
5. Take some decorative chopsticks and insert them into the secured bun. Make sure they are inserted snugly.
6. Add a spritz of hair spray to keep it all in place.
THE COILY UPDO:
All good things come with a twist. A good novel, a funny joke, your favorite drink, and yes, even an updo!
1. Start by gathering dry hair into a high ponytail and secure at crown with a hair elastic.
2. Separate hair into small sections. Twist each very tightly until hair starts to form a coil.
3. Pin each coil randomly at crown.
4. For a bit more flair, try pinning some small flowers throughout the coils.
5. If you want those untucked, loose ends to be curly, first set hair in hot rollers. Then continue steps one through three and arrange the curls at the top of your head with your fingers.
THE MESSY UPDO:
Some call it the "messy updo," but I think we should call it the "thank-God updo." Why? It's quick, it's easy and you don't even have to bother washing your hair. Got to love that!
1. Start by brushing all your hair back and gather towards the nape (that sexy part) of your neck.
2. Twist hair up towards the crown and secure with hairpins.
3. Leave those ends untucked and pull down some small wispy sections in the front to softly frame your face.
4. If you want those untucked, loose ends to be curly, first set hair in hot rollers. Then continue steps one through three and arrange the curls at the top of your head with your fingers.
