The look is finished off with strategically positioned hair accompaniments, like jeweled hairpins or a soothing headband, to add the extra oomph factor.
Here's how this hairstyle can be achieved:
- Wash hair clean with a good shampoo and conditioner.
- Prep the hair using a hair texturizing spray, which adds volume and consistency.
- Collect the voluminous tresses into a raised ponytail and fasten it with an adjustable band.
- Curl the ponytail into a loose bun, positioning it at the crown of the head. Several hair adornments, like sleek-looking bobby pins, secure the bun to create a structured and glossy outlook.
- Eventually, pull occasional strands of hair from the bun to form the preferred 'piecey' effect.
- Complete the hairstyle with spritzing hairspray for a long-lasting hold.
The 'Piecey Pastry Updo' is a twist on the traditional voluminous updo and has quickly earned favor among fashionistas, who can achieve this hairstyle by adding layered details to a regular hair updo.
