How To Get A Gorgeous (Easy!) Updo
I’m what can kindly be described as updo-challenged. I’ve had short hair most of my life and the few times I did venture into long hair territory, I quickly chopped it off. That’s because unlike practically every girl around me, I have no idea how to create an effortless updo. I was always jealous of those girls who could pull their hair into a messy bun in five seconds flat–every time I attempted it I looked like a street urchin.
Fortunately, if you’re like me there’s still hope. Goody recently released their Simple Styles line, a collection of cool and easy-to-use hair accessories whose sole focus is to help you create those seemingly impossible hairstyles–the Undone Bun, the Piece-y Ponytail, the Classic Twist and the Volumized Boost–without having to use any complicated tools that require an extra set of hands.
My personal favorites are the Spin Pins, which are corkscrew-shaped bobby pins that you literally spin into a bun to give it that loose feel. I’ve never done a successful bun in my life, but I read the super simple instructions on the back of the box (with illustrations, which are key), twisted my hair into the approximation of a bun, spun one pin in the top and one in the bottom and to my amazement, I’d created a sexy, loose bun. Seriously that easy.
Right now the brand is offering a pretty fabulous promotion on their website: Get 2 Spin Pins, 2 Pony Pouf Clips, 3 Modern Updo Makers and a Volume Boost Comb for $14.99. Considering each piece is $6.49 individually, that’s an awesome deal.
