Dear Just Be: Valentine's day is this weekend and I want to do something fun with my hair, any ideas?

Want to spice things up a bit this weekend? Looking for a new look? Here is an idea that is unique and sexy for this holiday weekend:

To make a really gorgeous updo that feels fun, creative and a little sassy, try this out:
• Start by buying a load of grips/slides. Lots of functional ones will do great here, but a few decorative, diamante grips will be perfect.
• Wash your hair at least half a day before trying this updo, as the grips will otherwise not hold in place.
• Take two grips, and keep them within reaching distance. Take two sections of hair, one from either side of your head (these should be about a quarter of your overall amount of hair) and bring them to the back of your head. Twist, and then fold them over each other once or twice, depending on the thickness of your hair, and secure each side with a grip.
• Once these portions are securely in place, take another section of hair. Twist this upwards, and secure again with a grip.
• Continue to do this, until all the hair is up.
• This should create a sort of organized mess at the back of your head, and with all the grips overlapping one another, it should stay in place all evening.

We advise you to try it out before hand, not right before your Valentine's dinner date, so that you know what it looks like, and so you can practice placing the grips tightly enough.
