Up-Do: The Benefits
Updos can often feel a little bit more luxurious, making them ideal for parties and celebrations. What’s more, if you’re going to a crowded party, sometimes it can be nice to have your hair up and off your neck to help keep you cool.
Wearing your hair up will make your facial features stand out, drawing attention to your cheekbones and jawline. This also offers a great opportunity to make your features look even more striking, by enhancing your eyes or lips with an on-trend makeup look. An up-do is also a great option if you’re attending an all day event or a long party in the evening. With a helping hand from just a few key products, you can be sure your hair will stay put and look fabulous all evening.
Style ideas: Whether you decide to go for a messy, casual updo or a sophisticated, chic braid or ponytail, here are some easy to achieve styles that have the wow factor…
The French Ponytail
This isn’t your everyday ponytail – think texture, volume and bounce for a party-per-fect updo. Here’s how to achieve the look…
Start by washing your hair with the perfect shampoo and conditioner for your hair type, (see our suggestions listed below). All Rossano Ferretti Parma products are packed with naturally derived ingredients and all avoid any Sulphates, Parabens and other harsh chemicals. After washing blow dry with the Favoloso Mousse which bene-fits from over 95% natural ingredients like Aloe Vera and Ginseng to add texture, body and a light hold.
Once dry, section off the top of your hair by drawing your fingers back from your temples and inwards. Start to create a French braid, bringing in more sections of hair until you reach the crown of your head. Secure with a band.
For extra texture spritz a little Favoloso Texturising Spray to your ponytail for added movement, volume and beautiful tousled texture.
The Sophisticated Chignon
Create a simple, sophisticated chignon with face-framing strands for a timeless look. Start by preparing your hair for styling—if it’s second-day hair, refresh it with a touch of Dry Shampoo Crème to absorb excess oil and add texture and volume at the roots for a clean, polished base. Gather your hair into a low ponytail, twist it into a loose bun, and secure with pins. Allow a few strands to frame your face naturally, then smooth them with a drop of Prodigio Oil to tame frizz for a chic finish. This versatile style works beautifully for any occasion.
The Messy Romantic Updo
To achieve a chic messy updo with added volume, begin by applying Grandioso Volumising Spray to your roots. This weightless formula, enriched with over 95% naturally derived ingredients like jojoba, ginseng, and almond, boosts volume, body, and bounce, giving fine or flat hair a natural-looking lift.
Spray 5-6 times on damp or dry hair, focusing on the roots, then blow-dry or air-dry to enhance lift and movement. Next, gather your hair into a loose ponytail at your desired height, twist it into a bun, and secure with bobby pins, allowing some strands to fall freely for that effortless, tousled look. For added texture, gently tug at sections of the bun and use a texturising spray if needed. This approach not only creates a stylish messy updo but also ensures lasting volume throughout the day.
The Simple Hair Accessory
Elevate your hairstyle with a carefully placed hair accessory, whether your look is half up, half down, styled in a chic chignon, or a sleek ponytail. We believe in the philosophy of “less is more,” allowing the natural beauty of your hair to shine through. Consider a simple jewelled headband for a touch of elegance, a leather-look clip for modern sophistication, or a pretty velvet bow for a classic finish.
