Silver Post Medal for All Time! 293 Posts

closeup of finished doA friend once asked me years ago how I get my kids' hair to look so neat and stay in place. I said detangler, bobby pins, and hairspray. Lot's of hairspray! :)

This hair-style is not just for kids. This is an elegant up-do that would be just the thing if you were going to a wedding or fancy party. It is easy to do and gives dramatic results reminiscent of years gone by. Have fun!

Total Time: 20-25 minutes

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. Wet and brush hair. Wetting it will make your hair-do easier and lay better.

Beautiful. A lady or young lady coiffed with an elegant style such as this, can wear jeans and still be seated in some of the most posh restaurants.
