Zoe Saldana is on our watch-list when it comes to inspiring beauty and hairstyle looks, and this romantic tousled updo comes as no exception. It lacks the severity of a typical updo, but retains the practical, out of your face quality that the actress and mother of twin baby boys must surely appreciate! Here's our guide to getting the same look as Zoe...
Wash it right
Whenever you are planning on creating a show-stopping look, make sure you choose your haircare around the kind of texture you'll need. Curly looks and chignons require hold, so use a shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for volume and waves.
Start with curls
After washing, give your hair a center part with a tail comb and blow dry into small sections of curls, or wait until the hair is dry and use a curling iron instead if that works better for your hair type. 1-inch sections leave a naturally wavy effect.
Pin away!
This look is going to require several bobby pins, and the skill to be able to hide them from view. Take sections of hair separately, pull down and around to the nape of your neck and pin in place.
Becoming a bun
As more sections get pinned at the back of your head, start to wrap them around one another to create a voluminous messy bun effect.
Hold it!
Tease a few sections loose around the sides of your face and neck, then spritz with hairspray to make sure your style will stay through any Hollywood event!
