swirly up-do, how-to


If you haven't checked out the latest vanity project by reality star-come-author/designer Lauren Conrad (and her hair and make-up maestro's, Kristen Ess and Amy Nadine), take a minute or two to do so - it's really quite neat: www.thebeautydepartment.com

Whilst I tend to flick over the beauty posts (I'm still waiting to see something 'new' - anyone??), where I believe this site really comes into its own is thanks to its helpful hair tutorials. LC's hair is nary seen looking less than perfect (or perfectly dishevelled), and here her beauty team provides some very simple and straightforward directions to achieve her most requested looks. This particular up-do is oh-so pretty, seems quite easy to achieve and nicely falls between looking too-casual or overly-formal, making it perfect for a multitude of occasions.

Tools you’ll need: curling iron (to prep the hair, as per video below), sectioning clips (I think most of us will need a trip to Priceline for these), teasing comb or brush, clear elastic rubber band, bobby pins, light to medium holding hairspray (to mist over at the end).
