Whether you are looking for something more on the retro scale of things or a chic classy style, you can achieve this with the tuck and roll also call a pin-up updo. While this style is not as time consuming to create, they misleading look easy. If you aren’t use to it, tuck and roll styles can go horribly wrong, but that’s what we are here for to help guide you along the way!
Starting Out On the Right Track:
- Ideally you want to start on hair that is stretched and detangled well so that it has a more full look. Shruken hair doesn’t usually produce the best results and tends to look matted. Stretched hair will also be easier to work with to form, shape, and mold into a great style.
- You can choose to blow your hair out or this can be done on hair that has been stretched using braids or twists.
- Choose a good moisturizer to help smooth your hair out, you will want to go with a product that will aid in giving your hair some stretch. Products with Shea Butter are good for helping out in this area. If you wan’t a sleek tuck and roll look go with a good hair gel.
- You will want to put enough tension on the hair so that it is neat, but when roll the hair avoid doing it too tightly because you will want some volume.
- Use bobby pins that will give you a secure hold. You may want to go with the larger size pins, as smaller ones may not be able to get through thicker hair and give you the hold that you need.
