Soft upstyle, step-by-step guide

This year we will celebrate Christmas at home, but there is no reason to give up on a special look! We suggest a chic and simple hairstyle for medium-length or long hair.

Let's take advantage of these Christmas holidays in a slowversion, to relax and take care of ourselves, confidently waiting for 2021 to begin! The extra time we will spend at home will allow us to decorate our space with greater creativity, discover new recipes with seasonal ingredients, etc. And also learn how to style our hair in a natural and elegant way! Here is our step-by-step guide.

A simple hairstyle for long and medium-length hair

Wash your hair with your favourite shampoo and conditioner. Then towel dry your hair and get ready for a chic upstyle. You will need:

Hairdryer
Hair straightener
3 styling essential products

STEP 1 - Make sure you have all the products before you start!

STEP 2 - Spray This is a Blow-dry Primer on towel-dried hair.

STEP 3 - Blow-dry your hair, trying to add volume.

STEP 4 - Divide your hair into sections and create soft curls with the straightener.

STEP 5 - Spray This is a Shimmering Mist all over your hair to add shine.

STEP 6 - Brush your hair back, leaving a few sections around your face.

PRO TIPS: do you know what the right height is for a ponytail or an upstyle?

You must consider the shape of your face when choosing whether to do a high or low upstyle. With a few simple tricks, you can achieve the result that enhances you the most!

If your chin is more protruding than your forehead, a high ponytail creates more balance.
If, on the other hand, the upper part of your face is more pronounced, then opt for a low upstyle that balances the proportions.

STEP 7- Make a ponytail and then pull out a few thin sections.

STEP 8 - Coil the ponytail around itself and secure it to create a bun.

STEP 9 - One last touch with the straightener will soften the sections around your face.

STEP 10 - Backcomb the front section lightly to add volume.

STEP 11 - Spray This is a Dry Texturizer as a finishing touch.

STEP 12 - Slightly soften the upstyle for a more casual look.
