Easy Elegant Updo For Fine Or Short Hair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2017
- I styled my hair like this for a recent photo shoot and got so many compliments on it I had to re-create it! Here's how I did it. This style is best for fine hair that is a bob. For longer or thicker hair, you could probably skip the added hairpiece.

I appreciate the fact that she's so down to earth and tells us how she uses "blushes" for example, as both blush and eye shadow. She shows very basic and easy ideas, that everyone can do.
Thanks for all your great tips and different recommendations on products one gets at the drug store. Not products most people can't afford. Keep it up. You are helping ALOT if us who have make up but don't know what to do with it!
I LOVE your gray hair! It's glamorous and real and anyone who doesn't like it, isn't our people.
you make me not afraid to grow old because you're slaying
"lets not even call it a tutorial". Love your personality and what you do. I'm starting to go grey and you've given me so many tips. Thank you! And you looked amazing in your photos!
I LOVE "THE BEDROOM ACTIVITIES ". Looks BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful hairstyle, I will try this.I have learned so much from you from makeup to hair and nice conversations.
Young girls should be looking at your videos, to realise that confidence is the best tool...
Maria Chat ❤❤❤❤❤So agree!
Just what I needed for my daughter's upcoming wedding. Thanks, Monique .
Amazing to see how you put it all together so well. Looked lovely!
Just watched your video. This is definitely a tutorial. Thank you! Cant wait to try this for a wedding. Very pretty.
"Stop a bird in flight!" I can't believe how many looks you have! Very talented you are!
"Stop a bird in flight." Now that's good hairspray! Loved it!
You did a great job using that hair bump insert. I was always worried it might show through my hair. However, you seemed to have no problems with that. Turned out beautiful!
Thanks for this. I thought I was too old for a hair extension piece in my sixties but seeing yours I changed my mind and ordered one a bit like yours. Looking forward to trying it out.
You have given me so many great ideas for hair and makeup for this time of my life. ❤
It looks amazing! Those pics are so glamorous, and very Marilyn looking. Love them!!
Fabulous as always Monique, you look amazing in those photos!
Lovely. You did such a good job! I have several of those hairpieces and need to try this.
Uh Yeah, blush moment! Totally adorable. 😸
I can see why u got so many complements with this do. You look amazing in it and in the photos. I would love to see all the pictures.
Those photos are amazing. You look stunning! You are so photogenic and I love the stylish way you pose in your pictures. Maybe do a video on posing for pictures?
I second that motion! 👍
I third it
Yes, please!♥️
Good idea! Would love to learn about posing for pics. I look like a deer in the headlights whenever I pose for photos!
Citizen Tee Me too!
This woman is absolutely brilliant.
Two things. First, thank you for making all of us feel more normal while we're aging and still have that "Girl" factor :-) Second. As with all aging and busy lives, it's nice to have a video if you forget how to do it next time :-) God Bless and let's all keep our backs to the wind! Plus! There is a product I use called "Style Edit" comes in many colors. It hides the scalp lines and covers thinner spots, also stays in until you wash it out...Happy Life!
Love that style, I often make it myself, with a hair piece, round with elastic just like your. And I love doing that kind of style, so elegant...
Love your phrase, "stop a bird in flight". Back in the late 80's and early 90's, I, my girlfriends and our big haired guy musician friends used to use Aquanet Extra Super Hold. It would stop a roach in mid-run and glue it to the wall, too!😂
Adam Ant!
sigh
Wraithworshipper Aquanet and Aussie mega-liquid cement for hair.
Wraithworshipper lol. When I was in fashion school my roommate and I used Aquanet to stick the roaches to the wall!!!!
Lol
Wraithworshipper okay, I seriously need that stuff then... and NOT for my hair! I live in Hawaii and cockroaches are a daily occurrence! InHate those suckers!!
You have been added on my Bucket List of People I must meet!!!! You are so awesome , laid back, and helpful when I need inspiration.
I really like this woman! I'm happy to find a beauty channel that is more conservative with products.
Great job! Love this tutorial
Gorgeous. You are an inspiration for us mature women.
You are so damn photogenic, and literally look 20 years younger in photos.
Это фотошоп😂
Surprisingly great result! Thank you for sharing this.
I think you’re a hoot! I love your saying “Stop a bird in flight hairspray!” Which will replace my own saying “I’m single handily depleting the ozone layer!” Love your “real life” tutorial for “real life” hair lol, and your relaxed attitude. I was going to cut my hair today after growing out a short length bob and growing my fringe longer. Since seeing you I’m keeping it! I was of the misconception that as you get older you won’t suit longer hair but you have proved that with a little effort ( which I always put into my hair and appearance ) you can look stunning. Well, not as stunning as you but passable. I’m a girlie girl that likes to look feminine every day with make up and matching accessories but if my hair doesn’t “feel” right I don’t “feel” right. I suppose felt I was loosing my identity ( my hair IS me ) and I’ve realised I’m STILL me just because I’m older and getting grey I just need to embrace it. Go girl! That hair piece is genius because I like that height at the crown and sometimes you feel even superglue wouldn’t hold it so it was a 💡moment for me. Thank you heaps. Absolutely love your photo shoot pictures you have such a natural beauty from the inside out! Hugs💐
Beautiful and elegant up do . You are so gorgeous everything looks good on you. Thank you for sharing this updo idea. Will try it
"Check the back because you never know what is going on back there". That is lovely! You look great, and same with the pictures you took.
Now I have one of those ponytail wig think somewhere I wonder where that darn thing is!!! I love your new do I love your videos and you and your personality and way you just let us have it the way it is you're one real lady thank you thank you thank you God bless you take care
Love this, my hair is thin and same length. Thank you.
So enjoyable - absolutely refreshing! Feels like I'm sitting on a nearby stool - chatting and watching you work. All that's missing is a glass of wine! Love your style. 😊
I love your sparkling personality and your glowing beauty!
Fabulous. This has eased my day. I can face life again. Its given me so much courAGE. I thought I was the only person going grey with fine hair.
Beautiful you have skills I could never master that!!!
you are so beautiful. your hair and makeup are always flawless but i love that you aren't afraid to go naked face!! you are an inspiration in self confidence
Gorgeous darling! I get aggro and start threatening my hair when I try anything like this. U made it look easy!
Love Love Love Frizz Eaze...my entire family uses it now. Even when I was in the hospital for 8 months and lost over half my hair, I always had my pink teasing comb and mini can of Frizz Ease :) You are a beautiful lady and you "for fun" pictures look stunning! XO
When u do it everything seems so easy!
Stunning. Ms. Lady. You make it look so easy, thank you.
I have thin, greying hair and I've discovered texture spray. I use joico or dirty sexy and it gives clean hair a "dirty" texture. Love it as I can't go without washing my hair!
Idk if that color on your hair is your natural color but it is SO my mature hair goals! I love it so much and you look amazing. Goals goals GOALS!
loved your video, it was so much fun! Very realistic and down to the point. Thank you for sharing
My hair is very fine to start with and also gray. I listened to this video just before leaving on vacation. I ordered a hair piece on Amazo by PrettyWit for 17.99 because I wanted it to arrive before I left. Otherwise, several others sell it for less. It matched my hair perfectly. I followed most of your instructions, and the result was great for a special outing we had in Cuba. It held even if we were whirling down the highway at some point, sitting in a open top Cadillac - quite a thrill at 63! Merci Monique! By the way, here's a tip: I started taking biotine a few years back as part of a supplement for diabetes, and realized that the places that were going slightly bald on each side of my head (genetic) were very gradually filling out! I did some research, and realized that it's the biotine. I stopped those supplements, too expensive, but continued taking biotine 3000 to 5000 unit/day. It's not costly, found in all pharmacies and health food stores. The "awful" effects - it boosts hair, eyelashes, nail and body hair growth. Well my nails are long and hard, manucured or not; my hair isn't thinning anymore. It will not thicken it by much but makes it so that you stop the thinning out and fills out the balding spots. As for the body hair, since it gets fewer anyway as we get older, it's no problem. So there, I'm not getting anything out of it, I thought you might like the tip from experience for thinning hair. Bonne journée!
Love your sense of humor!
You look gorgeous! Your gray hair looks so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this video.
You are just so beautiful....your hair looks like its effortless to achieve, so it's amazing to see all the steps involved to create this stunning look....
So talented Monique.You learned alot,i imagine watching your parents do hairdressing when you were growing up.
Loved this! I have several of the same type of hairpiece, only in a medium blonde to match my hair, wore all summer long, too, for a simple, quick style, messy bun. Thanks for tips on the hairsprays, never quite sure which to buy.
I absolutely LOVE you!You are beautiful and you made my day making me laugh!!
Thank you ♡
You are a very glamorous lady I hope I look as good as you do when I try to do my thin ageing hair
Thanks for this great tutorial Monique! I, too, have silver hair and I have been using these hair scrunchies to create an updo for a while now....these scrunchies seem to be one of the very few hair accessories I can find in silver...wish they would make more in silver:). Have you tried using two scrunchies for an updo? Just put the first one wrapped as usual around your pony tail or bun. Then, stretch the second one over the messy bun you created ... don't double it. It makes a really nice lush messy bun updo. I likes your use of the "bump" accessory, too! I need to get one!
Wow! I really loved the ‘mock’ French thingy! I also have the same haircolor and the hairpiece! You are a treat to listen to and learn from.. good teacher-share eer!😄😄👏🏻
Loved your hairstyle and enjoy your evening ! Hope you win the Pool Game ♡♡♡♡☆☆☆☆☆

This is the first video I have seen from you but I thoroughly enjoyed it, not only did I pick up some great tips but you really made me laugh. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Thank you x
you have aged well ..and i must admit at 76 i almost gave up ..so this is inspiring and i will try again ..for the christmas holiday
Love it! Thank you for posting this tutorial and products you use. I just cut my hair to a length that this style will work well with. And your friend the talented Amanda Duchow-Hall took fabulous pics! (as usual!)
Just started using a hair piece. I also have baby fine hair!!! I'm going to try this for an up coming wedding
You make me feel like I could create a classic do. Love your videos!
My mom had a long hair piece, braided it, then pinned it, almost turbaned style, to the top of her crown. (C.1970-1973) She was the prettiest sister of seven girls, when her hair was up. She passed away, at 39, from lupus.
I always wanted to try that style, but I'm not sure how to give it a modern look.
Do you know what style that I am talking about and would you be able to do it?
Whether you are able to or not, thank you for your very helpful advice and tutorials.
Have a great day.
Love this hairstyle 🙂
Ha! “Stop a bird in flight...” thanks for the walk-thru and gorgeous pictures!
