Volumized Side Bun Updo

Zooey Deschanel might be known for having the cutest bangs ever, but we think this updo deserves just as much attention. Grab some of the spotlight yourself and give this look a shot. Ellis tells us how.

How to get the look:



1. Spray your hair with a heat spray to prep and either comb it through wet hair or brush it through dry hair. This will protect the hair from the heat of the curling iron. Ellis recommends Pureology Fortifying Heat Spray, $22.



2. Use a 1-inch curling iron, and wrap 1-inch sections of hair around the barrel. This will create a soft curl in the hair.



3. Rub a small amount of shine serum into the palm of your hands and run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curl.



4. Leave your fringe out and blow dry smooth using a round brush. Ellis especially likes the Denman Brush.



5. Pick up 1-inch sections of hair over the crown and back comb your hair to create volume and height on top. Repeat this technique a few sections down to build a cushion for the top layers to sit on.



6. Pull all of your hair to one side of the head at the back and tie into a ponytail. Pick up some of the curled ends and tease those sections with a comb to create a full, textured bun shape.



7.Mold your ponytail into a loose bun shape by twisting and pinning large, loose sections to the head. Place the pins into the bun so they are hidden.



8. Spray as you go with hairspray to keep the sections in place. Finish with a shine spray to add maximum shine.
