i have a question: how do you make "updos"? i tried for like half an hour yesterday evening and it just kept falling out. i want to pin a chignon or something, but it's not working ... my hair is about mid back length with layers. any pictures of good styles would also be great, thanks!

it tells you how to do a chignon on that website, hope that helps! i'm abit lazy when it comes to my hair and when i'm doing an updo i usually just pull my hair back and make it into a messy bun with a hair tie then just pin in any of the excess bits, then my layers slowly fall down around the front and side of my face and it looks pretty nice. its what one of the hairdressers at my old job taught me to do when you want a quick and easy updo, so i don't bother trying to learn any new ways now Laughing

i probs should though! x
