Use spray, hairpieces and padding to create an elegant updo with a modern twist, combining dual inspirations of classic Grace Kelly glamour and the modern edge of Lady Gaga's iconic hair bow.In this simple step-by-step, Anne Veck demonstrates how to create a sleek style with a sweet bow addition.
1. Prepare the hair using a big barrel tong all over.
2. Section off a big triangle section at the front of the head from temples to crown. Secure the rest of the hair in a ponytail at the crown.
3. Place one piece of padding underneath the ponytail and spread the ponytail around it evenly.
4. Fix the ponytail underneath the padding. Use a second, smaller, piece of padding for the front section. Place it sideways and cover with the hair.
5. Finish with shine spray for hold and add a pre-made bow for decoration.
