Clean classic up do with many variations. Make a section across the top of the head from air to air. Then part the front on either side or in the middle and it forward out of the way. In the back, make a section across the head from ear to ear and put in a tight top ponytail at the crown. Take the front two sections and draw them back covering the parting. Adjust the front section to please the client.
These could also be braids, but these sections into a ponytail. Take the ponytail and fold it up toward the first ponytail at the crown painted in place. Take the remaining hair at the bottom, hold it out and place in another third ponytail. Gonna bring this third ponytail up and over the previous ponytail. So now you've got all that hair up at the crown to make your design and we've only used three bobby pins so far. Get the lock by wrapping the third pointy tail into a large pink girl and do the same for the ends of the previous ponytails or make the curls looser however you want.
Depending on the thickness, split the top into two or three sections, wrap them into large pin curls and use your mirror and check balance and pleasing your client. Here's the mannequin head on the left and the model on the right. You can fill those little holes with flowers. You can leave it unadorned. There's a beautiful headband on the right and here it is decorated for the prom. Thanks for watching
