Hairstyles: French Roll Sideswept Updo

 Here is a new hairstyle that I came up with for work and can also be worn for formal or semi-formal events for a polished look.  You will need loose, stretched hair for this that is at least between short and mid-length.  You will need many bobby pins and some kind of styling cream.  I prefer not to use gel as my styles are usual soft and loose but you can do this same style with gel for a firmer, tighter and more slicked back look.

The pictures are pretty self explanatory but I basically sectioned off a bang at the front for my sidesweep.  I pulled the rest of the hair back and starting at the nape, rolled and tucked the hair and secured with bobby pins.  At the top, I pulled down the loose hair and tucked it under with bobby pins.  I smoothed the edges and secured the loose pieces with bobby pins.  Then I swept the bangs to the side and secured with bobby pins. 

FYI, for those of you who didn't know I have a youtube channel that I haven't posted on in a very long time.  Just one of those things that went by the way side.  Anyway, I've had a recent surge of people who subscribed and that made me feel like maybe I should put some work into maintaining it.  This hairstyle is one of the videos I plan to do as a tutorial so stay updated for those.  I will post the vids and/or links on this blog as well.  For now, I hope the photos are enough.  Thanks for being patient with me! :)
