Tori Tutorial

Geisha Updo 1) I started with damp hair since I was traveling without a blow dryer.  For updos I usually suggest starting with day or two old hair because hair is easier to work with and style. 2) Gather a section of hair in the front to create a poof out of.  Take more or less hair depending on how dramatic you want the hairdo to be.  Tease the hair at the root.  Comb to smooth the top, and secure with bobby pins. 3) Next, gather a slightly larger section of hair behind the first poof.  It works best if you gather this section primarily from the crown of your head.  Thoroughly tease section, and mold into a second poof.  Secure with bobby pins and spritz with hairspray. 4) Pull the side sections on the temples of your head tightly against your head.  Make sure they are smooth, and bobby pin them at the base of the larger poof. 5) Gather the remaining hair, and form a small bun just below the second poof.  Pin tightly, and spritz with hairspray. Pair with rouge lips and liquid winged liner and enjoy!

4) Pull the side sections on the temples of your head tightly against your head.  Make sure they are smooth, and bobby pin them at the base of the larger poof.

5) Gather the remaining hair, and form a small bun just below the second poof.  Pin tightly, and spritz with hairspray.

Messy Braided Updo 1) Start with 2 day old hair that has some texture. 2) Separate your hair into pigtails. 3) Loosely braid each side.  To make it even looser/chunky pull apart braid when you are done. 4) Pull one braid up and fasted to your head with bobby pins.  Since this is a messy swept up look, don’t put too  much thought into it.   5) repeat on the other side. 6) spritz with hair spray, and voila you have a cute messy fall undo!

Classic Updo 1) Section the front half of your hair off from the rest of you hair.  Secure with Ponytail. 2) Take the section of hair that sits at the crown of your head and begin back combing to create volume.  I take the entire section, and then separate a small top layer from it.  Next I back comb a lot to create a good amount of volume.  Finally, I take the small top layer I removed previously and comb it over the teased mound.  This helps to keep the hair looking sleek and smooth. 3) Bobby pin to secure.  Be liberal with the pins, you don’t want the poof going anywhere.  Then it looks sloppy, not classic. 4) Take the section from step one, and part it.  I parted down the middle, but feel free to side part. 5) Pull each front section to the side, and back.  Secure with bobby pins. 6) Pull your remaining hair into a low bun.  Secure with bobby pins.  Spritz with hairspray. Now take your classy hair out to a classy cocktail party!
