Romantic hairstyles are having a moment this season and one that we have a slight soft spot for is the windswept updo. So, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, we thought we’d bring you the secret to how to get a windswept updo and transform your bed head locks into a sultry style this Valentine’s.
This whimsical and effortless hair trend provided an air of softness to the ss14 catwalks back in September, and we’re super pleased that it’s beginning to make its way into the mainstream at such impeccable timing!
Step One
Begin your on-trend, windswept updo by teasing your hair with a backcombing brush. This will help to amp up the volume of your limp tresses and put the magic, staying-power into your windswept updo.
Step Two
Then, take a couple of bobby pins and start pinning your hair up towards the back, haphazardly, and twisting it around itself. If you hair is long, then take note from Michael Kors ss14 and let the ends of your hair fall down at the back of your head for an effortless feel. To create a Rochas-inspired quiff, tease the front section of your hair and push back into a small quiff for extra volume and an elevated windswept updo.
We love the windswept updo. Not only is it an appropriate hairstyle for this month, we also predict that it will make a perfect summer updo, too. Will you be flirting with the windswept updo this season?
