anyone good at updos?
I am going to a wedding on the 30th and really want to put my hair up for it. However, I am AWFUL at doing my hair myself, and don't want to pay for an updo. Does anyone have any tips or instructions for a simple, elegant updo that I could master with practice over the next couple of weeks? I was thinking of french twist or some kind of chignon. I am just so uncoordinated that I find it hard to put my hair up and manage sticking in bobby pins all at the same time!

jackie- you have Awesome curls. What about blowing the front straight so that you can slick it down (and do a side part) for a sleek, Side Swept look, then put it in a low ponytail, and pull the curls up, and bobby pin them sporatically to give a low, curly chignon look? (sorry i'm not better with descriptive words )

Re: anyone good at updos?
Can you pull it all into a ponytail, high, medium or low? It may help to blow the front out so it is smoother. Don't use a scrunchie . Then curl the tail. Then take each individual curl and pin it haphazardly to the rubberband area. Really be random in your pinning.

what about a pony tail, but leave a piece out and after you put up the tail, use the piece to sweap (if you like a part) and then use the piece to wrap around and hid the rubberband? Then make spiral curls in the tail or leave slicked straight?

Re: anyone good at updos?
I'm not really good at doing updo's either. But if you go to Duane Reade or CVS, they have sort of a clip(for lack of better word to explain it...in a fog this morning) that you can try to make different updo's and hairdo's. I recalled seeing it and I don't think it was more than $10.00
