Trendy Messy Updo

Updo of Many Colors

This may look complicated, but nothing could be further from the truth. All you will need is an assortment of small fuzzy ponytail holders, an assortment of bobby pins that are the same color as your hair, and 6 glitter bobby pins in similar colors for nape of neck. See photo.

Pull hair up into a high ponytail and secure in place, leaving a border of hair at the nape of the neck free. You will be pinning this up later.

Divide ponytail into several sections, using the fuzzy ponytail holders to keep them separate from the rest. Be sure to alternate colors. Continue dividing and securing ponytails sections until all of the ponytail has been completed.

Using the bobby pins that are the same color as your hair, pull each section of the ponytail down and pin in place. You should not see the pins at all. Continue until all the sections have been secured.

At this point, all that should remain is the hair that is now falling freely to your shoulders. Divide into 3 sections and twist. Use two glitter pins and criss cross as shown in photo. Using two new colors, continue to the second section. Finish with a third color and pin in place.

That's it, you are done!
