my grandma's signature updo. :) it always makes her look sophisticated and nice. that updo and bright red lipstick is all she ever did before going out. her dementia made her forget many things, but not the way she goes about her looks before going somewhere. i know this is kind of random comment, but you helped me imagine her in her youth.

1st step: you need to have enough hair

[@babysquirrels8974]

Yup 😞

[@arabellascadillac6340]

And I can't do this either because I have a lot of thick hair that reaches my butt and that's so annoying as well. The right amount of hair never comes lol

I do not have so nice hair as Alex of course. But this hairstyle looks gorgeous even than on short hair. (we don't speak about boy stile haircuts)

[@ree4prez]

sameeee. Bobby pins just don’t work on my hair lol

[@caryulmer5578]

I'd kill to have that problem. Probably only a couple of pins would hold my fine straight blonde hair, but its not thick enough to have volumn without alot of product & teasing.😣

[@themonsterbrat]

Try spraying hairspray on the bobby pins before you stick them in. And make sure the ridgey side is facing downwards. I'm Asian with thick, waist-length hair - it stays put. When in doubt, just use more pins.

[@kikichu6249]

Imagine having black hair and searching all bobby pins out afterwards

[@ninanina5713]

Jeon Jungkook even if you have blonde hair, you still have to search for those bobby pins in the same way since noone has eyes on their nape of the neck 😗

This was actually the easiest hair tutorial I have done! I have super thick, wavy, bleached and processed hair, and this looked good in the first try! I found the trick was to NOT do this on freshly washed hair and use those longer, bigger bobby pins.... the small ones would have been too many..(I used 4 big ones and 3 small..) plus why waste putting up fresh hair; you gotta wear that down on the clean hair days!
