Lulus How-To: Low Rolled Updo Hair Tutorial

Published by

Need to get party-ready in a pinch? Or maybe you’re in need of a new look for Thanksgiving dinner? Our Low Rolled Updo is just the thing! We are absolutely loving the chic-meets-casual look of this updo and how simple it is to create! Check our steps below for all the deets!

Steps:

  1. Begin with a loose, low ponytail.
  2. Part hair above the hair-tie.
  3. Pull pony up and through into a topsy.
  4. Repeat previous step into another topsy.
  5. Use your index finger and wrap another topsy to create the roll.
  6. Continue to roll until you run out of ponytail.
  7. Fasten under the roll with bobby pins until it feels secure.

  • this only works if you have fine straight long hair. i think you guys need to bring in some short hair styles along with more elaborate makeup tutorials

  • Thank you for the feedback! To achieve this look on shorter hair, you can skip step 4 and just wrap the topsy tail around your finger once, then use extra bobby pins to fasten any shorter pieces into the roll. Hope that helps!

  • Great for Flight Attendants! For safety reasons we have to wear our hair up if longer than to our shoulders. This is a nice alternative to a low pony. (We have to wear our hair lower rather than higher so that we can properly assume the brace position with our heads resting against our Jumpseats.) I really like that it takes little time and can look professional if smoothed and secured properly.
    I think this will be my new go to hairdo! Thanks for the inspiration!.

  • I love this hair style. I can't braid me hair it never comes out right. In the hot summer months it will be rather easy and pretty at the same time.

    • Mariana, you should be able to follow the steps we provided even with curly hair. Your final look will just be more tousled.

    • Hi Tracy! You do not need to remove the clear elastic hair-tie. It actually will help secure the look and since it is clear, it will be undetectable under the topsy. Hope that helps!
