How to Get Jessica Simpson's Hair

Unless you're going to the prom or you want to mimic Jessica Simpson's hair for a wedding, you want your hair to be looser than this look. As stylist to the stars, Serge Normant, says in InStyle magazine, "Nothing could look more wrong than a stuffy updo in the summertime."

The key to a simple updo is hair that's not freshly washed. Day-after-washing hair is easy to manage, less slick & stays in place better. Keep in mind dry shampoos like Bumble & Bumble hair powder gives hair texture & body. For a cheaper route, try simple baby powder.

To get Jessica's look, gather hair back, loosely twist it & pin it in place with long straight pins (they are a girl's best friend when it comes to updos. Get them at any beauty supply store).

For volume like Jessica, you want to tease hair at the crown. Simply hold a section of hair up & backcomb it starting about 3 to 4 inches from the scalp.
