EXACTLY WHAT IS AN
UPDO?
An "updo" is when long hair is styled
and fastened so that it is held up on the head,
exposing the neck. The term is sort of modern
verbal shorthand for "doing a hairdo that's
up." Creating updo hair styles is, in my
mind, akin to sculpting a masterpiece. Each updo
will be different, and serve a unique purpose...formal,
funky, fun, even whimsical. An updo hair style
can be whipped up in one quick sweep for a casual
feel, or labored over for hours from start to
finish, depending on the function.
UPDO'S have been one of the longest lasting trends
for social parties or events. Hollywood stars
like Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan often wear
updos for Award Shows and red carpet events. This
season shows us soft wavy styles. Nothing pulled
tight or severe. At the salon, stylists are using
hot rollers, curling irons and rollers to achieve
these looks. Updos shout glam and red carpet!
