FAUX HAWK UPDO

This hairstyle might seem complicated, but actually it is not. There is an easy way to achieve it. You take small sections of hair on each side and secure it with an elastic. Basically, you create a small ponytail. The trick is to split the hair above the elastic in half, take the ponytail and pull it through, but you don’t want to pull it through all the way. Secure the loop with bobby pins if needed. Each ponytail will create a small loop that will ultimately create a gorgeous updo.
