Instructions - How To Copy Elegant Bridal Updo Hair by Sherri Jessee Roberto Ligresti All rights reserved. 1.  Start by washing your hair in lukewarm water utilizing your normal cleansing procedures.  Use products designed for your hair type, texture and current condition.  If you have chemically treated or colored hair be sure to use a product designed to extend the color or add needed moisture likePhytobrush. If you wish to enhance your natural texture consider using a texture enhancing product mix like PhytoCurl which helps define curls. 2.  Rinse well and apply a rinse-out conditioner.  With the conditioner in your hair use your fingers or a wide tooth comb to detangle strands.  Work from the ends to the roots. 3.  After detangling rinse well.  Finish with a cool/cold water rinse which helps to seal in moisture, add shine and enhance the hair's ability to form curls and waves. 4.  Carefully squeeze out any excess water with your fingers.  Do not rub wet strands. Use a combination of techniques from squeezing out the excess water and then blotting strands with a towel.

You may wish to mix a defrisant products along with your styling product to add texture and block frizz at the same time.  It is possible to mixPhytodefrisant with your favorite mousse, glaze or paste. 7.  Blow dry strands straight using a paddle style brush and a blow dryer.  Use a cool setting on a low speed to avoid blowing out the newly formed texture. 8.  When hair is completely dry separate into 6-8 individual sections.

Optionally this gorgeous bridal updo hairstyle can be created without a fringe or veil.  The hairstyle can be modified to work with your specific goals. Adding The Appropriate Finish 15.  Finish by using a shine serum like Phyto's PhyoLisse or Rene Furterer's Spray Gloss. Apply the shine serum or spray of choice to the palms of your hands.  Rub the product into the palms and then lightly glide over the top of the teased style to add instant shimmer and shine and remove any roughness. 16.  Spray well with hairspray like Phytolaque or Phytolaque Soiemade with real silk that adds a soft sheen to the final look and will also help soften the overall finish. 17.  Allow the hair spray or shine products to completely dry.  Glide a beautiful tiara, tiara comb or other crystal encrusted hair comb at the crown to finish the updo.  Pin a veil, if desired, to the back of the updo.  Afterall, a veil adds instant romance.
