Up Styles- A Lost Art?

Image via Wikipedia

While it seems like up styles are still prevalent for Brides and in Fashion Magazines it seems they have fallen out of common usuage among regular gals in every day life. I remember my mother having the big hair piece in the closet that she would put on top of her hair to create that big beehive do that was so popular in the 60's. Women used to sleep with rollers in the hair with toilet paper wrapped around it. Modern girls don't seem to do much anymore with their hair besides bump it and wear it half up , half down. Maybe like jitterbugging or partner dancing, upstyles have fallen out of style.
To create an Upstyle the most important thing is the foundation or base. First set your hair with rollers, or if you don't have rollers you can use your biggest curling iron and do barrel curls and pin them up all over your head. Make sure you use some type of setting spray before to give yourself hold and texture. Take the rollers out/or the curls down and finger through or lightly brush through. Turning your head upside down and spraying again is also good. You now have a good working base to start from. You can use Pony tails as a second step to create many styles. One to three pony tails placed in different sections. Start pulling strands of hair out of the pony and wrap and pin. Experimenting is important here. Have fun. Use braiding, and wrap or tie strands of hair together to create shapes then wrap and pin using up all of the hair.
