How to Create a Bridal Updo

How to Create a Bridal Updo BellaTV Zelana BellaTV Correspondent. Zelana: I’m Zelana and today we’ll be showing you a few different hairstyles you can create on your own wedding day. I have invited hairstylist Sherri Belanger to show us how we can pull of a perfect up do on your special day. There’s so many up do’s to choose from on your wedding day how do you know which one to choose? Sherri: Well it’s really important that you choose something that you’re going to feel most beautiful in. You don’t want to feel uncomfortable on your wedding day. You also want to consider the location of your wedding and what the theme is if it’s really elegant and glamorous or if it’s something a little bit more relaxed and maybe like a beachy wedding. I always tell my brides that when you’re at home and you’re going to do your own little trial run each have these two looks. One is like a half but mini up due and then you can transition that into a full up due to see what’s going to look best on your wedding day. First things first I’m going to section off your hair. You want a good styling heat protectant spray. I’m going to grab my curling iron just going to curl it. I’m going to hold it for maybe 3 seconds and then when you’re going to let the curl go instead of just dropping it and letting it crawl you’re going to kind of keep control of it and hold it and then you’re going to grab one of these old school fund Velcro rollers and while your curl is hot your going to wrap it around that. If you want to just kind of hold it in pace you can get a little clip. I’m going to have to do the whole top of your head and then you can go ahead to the sides and then do the back. Now that we have all the curlers in you just want to spray it a little bit and then you want to make sure the curls are cool so this is a perfect time that you can actually apply some make up while you’re waiting for them to cool. We can go ahead and start taking these clips out it just rolls off the Velcro roller and then you can kind of just let it fall. I went ahead and just sit a little side park in your hair now that we have this beautiful foundation let’s start doing our many up do so what I’m going to do to set your pop up look is use these bobby pins. These are great pins because they actually have a map finished so they’re not going to shine you won’t see them in your wedding photos. You can just do something as simple as taking this little section of hair, you can twist it very, very loosely and then get your bobby pin I’m going to stick it in so now that we have the half up do now it’s as simple as just pulling the rest of your hair back and creating an up do and seeing if you like the up do as well. Separate the hair that’s down into 4 sections. I’m going to take this curl. I’m going to kind of twist it in my hands and create a little bun and I’m going to do the same thing with the bobby pins and put them in and crisscross them. Now this remainder that’s left in the back I’m going to separate it and I’m going to do the same thing. I did my 4 buns and kind of placed them together and pinned up but just so you know this might get a little bit tricky when you’re trying to pin the back so this is a great time to call a girl friend or your mom or somebody that can help you with the pinning and just practice and be patient and you can totally do your wedding hair. With your wedding up do I think a flower is perfect but you can do a lot of different accessories in your hair for you wedding but for yours I see the beach wedding and this beautiful up do for this flower. Zelana: Whether you choose the half up do or the full up do now you know how to do it yourself a home and you look gorgeous either way. Happy wedding day. Thanks for watching bellatv stay beautiful.
