The unique messy updo

I cant really put a label on this hairstyle... what is it? all i know is it is very simple and unique, and screams SASSY!

this is best suited to layered, thin hair, usually of straight or wavy orientation, as curls may be difficult, but you can straighten your curls and give this look a try.

TO CREATE THIS LOOK:
your hair should be smooth and knot free. try using : VITA 5 CPR PHASE 1.
this cream will infuse your hair with moisture, and is a MUST HAVE, i use it after every shower!

so, once your hair is smooth. split your hair into 2 parts, separate the top layer from the rest of your hair. the top layer should be removed from about 2cm from the top of your ears. tie this layer over your face to keep it out of the way.

brush the remaining hair up into the a pony tail on the crown of your head-----but DO NOT tie it up!!!!!!!!!------ instead, holding the section, tilt your head forward and fasten place with clips and bobby pins, or alternately a Barret. continue to clip and pin until hair is fastened.
spray with hairspray.

release the top layer. now, you will need to divide it into 3 parts- the "poof", the side twirls, and the bangs--. begin by grouping to gather the amount of hair you would like in the "poof". tie this loosely with an elastic to ensure it is out of the way.

now, to take care of the longer bits of hair, twist them and fasten them with pins or clips at the back of the head.

the next step is creating the poof. to add the volume, gently tease the roots of the "poof" before styling. now that the hair has volume, pull back and push forward until the desired height is achieved. if necessary, re-tease the roots for extra volume. fasten the poof with clips and bobby pins, but ALWAYS hairspray it, and gently brush the hair into shape. this will stop stray hairs falling as well as keeping those annoying "baby fluff" hair off your face.

now, to achieve this chic look, leave down a few bangs, and straighten them.

this look is now complete, and you should avoid a headband or accessories, as the look is already quite busy.

happy styling (:
