GET THE LOOK by Roberto Moura

Roberto Moura from RMUK helps you recreate the Maria Bello quick and messy updo, take a look at what’s hot And what’s not in the world of celebrity hairstyles.

1. Use fingers and a “hair friendly” boar bristle brush to smoothe hair and direct it towards the back of your head.

 
2. For extra volume and fullness at the crown either back comb hair with brush or use fingers to lift and fluff the top part of your crown either before, during or after your are positioning the ponytail base.

 
3. Direct the ponytail base to be positioned between the top and just below the crown but not lower than the middle of the head. The positioning of the pony base depends on your own goals but it best higher up.

 
4. Use a “hair friendly” Blax elastic band in either clear or the same color as your hair and wrap around hair to form a high ponytail. Gently pull the hair in the tail with your fingers from each side to make sure all the hair is arranged the same from the base.

 
5. Take the bottom of the tail and wrap it up and around the base of the new pony in a clockwise direction. You have the option to wrap the bun tight or loose depending on your goals.

6. Keep wrapping the tail around the base of the pony until all hair is used up.

 
7. Tuck any left over tail into base of the new wrapped bun. Bobby pin into place.

 
8. Use fingers to gently pull some of the bun hair to loosen and give it a loose, messy look.

Spray with L’oreal Fix Anti Frizz hair spray or spray wax to create different textures.

If you prefer you can pull a few random strands loose and use a medium barrel curling ironto twist so that they cascade from the bun. For a messier effect back comb the ponytail hair after it’s created but before the tail is wrapped around the base.

Create a fuller messy updo by bending over at the waist and ruffling hair while back combing with fingers to get a messy ponytail bun or a fuller crown. If you prefer you can use your fingers to ruffle the crown like Maria Bello’s crown - shown above.

Experiment and have fun. The key to a messy updo is having fun creating it.

RMUK helping you create the perfect hairstyle for your wedding using the ghd IV styler together with ghd ultimate hairspray.

Step 1 Pull your hair into a loose pony tail and secure with a band. To conceal the band, pull a piece of hair from underneath the pony tail, wrap around the band & secure by lightly misting with ghd ultimate hairspray.

 
Step 2 Depending upon the thickness of your hair, separate the ponytail into 3-6 sections and lightly mist with ghd creation spray for longer lasting curls.

 
Step 3 In each section, place the ghd IV styler in at the roots, rotate it 180° and slowly glide the styler slowly through the hair until reaching the end. Catch the hair as it falls, and twist it around your finger to increase the curl.

 
Step 4 To separate and soften the curls, run your fingers through them. To create a teardrop shaped hairstyle, gently backcomb the hair at the root area which gives volume. Gently tease the remaining tendrils into shape.

 
Step 5 To complete our bridal hairstyle, use the ghd IV styler for a smooth bevelled fringe & lightly mist with ghd reflection spray for all over shine

RMUK help you get the red carpet celebrity smooth wave hairstyle look with the ghd IV styler.

 
Step 1 To section the hair, place your thumbs above your ears, draw a line around the back of your head until your thumbs meet. Gather the hair above your thumbs and clip it out of the way.

 
Step 2 Split the lower section into 2. Turn your head to the side. Insert the ghd IV styler horizontally at the root. Hold the styler at both ends for greater control. Begin to create the glamourous wave using the ghd IV Styler by rotating the styler upwards 180° and pull down through the hair.Then rotate the styler in the opposite direction and pull down again another inch. Keep this rocking movement until you reach the hair that has been clipped away.

 
Step 3 Release the top section of the hair, and repeat the technique using the ghd IV Styler. Continue through the side section until you reach your desired parting.

 
Step 4 To finish the look, rake your fingers through the waves to smooth and define.

RMUK TIP

For the smoothest wave, always keep the styling moving until it reaches the end & finish the section by turning the styler under.
