Form a quiff with this and fasten at both ends with hair grips. Twist and fasten the bottom half with hair grips at the base of the quiff. Here you have an elegant upswept style, that is ideal for the sophisticated look. If you want to soften the look, you could pull out strategic strands around the face and gently curl them with heated tongs and set them with setting wax.

2. Take out the front section of your hair across your forehead from temple to temple, about 6cm deep.
3. It does not matter if you have a fringe as this can be incorporated into the look, but you may need to take the section slightly deeper if you do. Clip out of the way for now.
4. Draw the sides of your hair back off your face smoothly and either pin or ponytail using a covered band at the crown. Leave the back of your hair to fall loosely over your shoulders.
5. Now take the top section now backcomb heavily to give lots of support. Hairspray is invaluable when creating this look, spray it onto each section as you backcomb it to give extra hold. 6. If you have a fringe, some strands may be left out and the rest incorporated into the quiff.
7. Once you resemble someone who's just been given an electric shock, take a paddle brush and smooth the outer surface of this section, drawing back to the crown but leaving it looped forwards enough to form the quiff. The trick here is not to untangle the backcombed hair underneath.
8. Pin or wrap the ends of the hair around the hair already secured at the crown, and continue to smooth and fix your quiff into the desired effect using the hairspray. [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]
