One of the downsides of updos is that they can be too severe for certain clients. But by texturizing the hair and creating lift in front, an upstyle like this one sported byJessica Albais flattering for a wide range of face shapes. Start by setting or crimping strands if hair is straight, or if the texture is inconsistent, then subdivide at the occipital. Gather the bottom half into a loose chignon. Lift top sections and gently backcomb at the base. Then draw sub-panels of the top sections loosely back toward the chignon and secure. Avoid pulling these sections too tightly. The result is soft, feminine and perfect for summer’s special occasions!
