One of our favorite celebrities is the beautiful Natalie Portman.
Natalie wears an updo with perfection. Here she is modeling a wavy back updo. Soft in
the front and tight in the back, the elegance of this hairdo never goes out of style. With a flawless complexion
and classic face structure, notice that there is no hair covering the face.

Here, Natalie looks stunning with a sleek slicked back updo. For a great sophisticated look she has a
little bit of height but it’s not overdone. This updo works great for any formal occasion and any face
shape.

Natalie Portman’s bun updo. This updo is elegant yet fairly easy to craft. It gives the elegant look
while adding a little bit of play to her style.

This is the front view of the bun updo. Notice the straight part barely covering a portion of the
forehead.
In the past ten years, Natalie has proven to be a fashion icon, especially for the younger generation. With
the exception of a brief stint with no hair, Natalie is usually seen on the red carpet with her hair up. All
of these pictured looks can be worn for proms, weddings, or a special night out on the town.
Hopefully you are starting to get a feel for what kind of updo will suit you. We believe that anyone can pull
off a great look with a little bit of research!

Updo Guru Tip: Personalize your updo style! To curl or not to curl, that is the
question. Having loose curls bouncing around your updo can add wonderful volume to your hairstyle. For a more
elegant style, curls can be pinned up or held up with styling product.
Updo Guru Tip: Don’t wash your hair for one day before you get the updo! I know this
may sound a little gross, but don’t worry, your updo will treat you much nicer in the long run! It’s okay to rinse
the hair, just don’t use shampoo. Dirtier hair has proven to be much easier to style and it will also hold curls
longer.
Updo Guru Tip: Plan ahead! Even if you have been with the same stylist for a long
time, always make sure that they know how to create a proper updo. If they can’t, it might be worth calling around
to different stylists to ask if they can do the specific updo that you have in mind.
Another good idea is to have a few different updo’s in mind even if your stylist says they can do the one you
want. Sometimes there might be certain unexpected factors that might call for some improvisation! Being prepared
will help reduce stress and let you enjoy getting ready for your perfect day!
