Updo Hair

Don't wash your hair the day you're going to have an updo done. Opt just to shower and throw your hair up with a scrunchy or just rinse and don't use shampoo. Dirty hair equals a better updo. Yes, it's true. Not only is "dirty" hair easier to work with, it will hold a curl much longer , will be easier to tease and most important, will have a great deal of shine to it. Sacrifice washing for a day or two before, for the greater good of a great hair day!Just because your stylist can give you a great cut and everyday hair style, does not mean that they can do updos as well. Always do a test run to see if you and your stylist are on the same page and she understands what you want. If she's not good at updos, generally they will tell you beforehand and recommend someone in the salon who can help you with your updo style.If you don't like something, say it. Nothing bothers stylists more than when their clients are unhappy. And believe me, we can read body language better than you can imagine! But please keep in mind that updos are a work in progress. You can usually never see how they will turn out until they are almost complete. So if it looks a little scary for awhile, bare with your stylist. But if it looks like they are going in a totally different direction from what you want, say something.
