Umberto Giannini 7 Days 7 Ways- Modern Up-do

The seventh and final look for the Umberto Giannini 7 Days 7 Ways campaign is one that I must admit I was a little bit weary of. In the style of a slicked back up-do, I was slightly concerned that it may turn out a little bit reminiscent of a face-lift hair style, similar to what I would have worn to school a fair few years ago, but actually, with a few slight tweaks, I'm really quite pleased with how it looks and more so, how quick it was to achieve.

By simply tipping my head forward and finding the most complimentary place for my ponytail to sit closest to my crown, I secured a ponytail with a tight band and made sure my hair was all pulled back as neatly as possible. I personally chose not to make it too tight or slick, but did brush out the majority of kinks and frizz with a brush and a spray of Backcomb In A Bottle for hold. Once the basis of the style was ready, I then went on to backcomb my ponytail in three sections, following with a little bit of Backcomb In A Bottle and then arranged sections of the backcombed hair around the band, pinning them all into place with kirby grips. I personally like the messy look, but if you wanted to achieve something a little neater, that's also really easy to do and would just need a little more attention when placing the hair around the band.

The 7 Days 7 Ways campaign has shown me how versatile the Glam Hair range is, in particular Backcomb In A Bottle and I can't wait to create some of my own styles, which will probably be similar to my favourite of the seven looks- Free Flowing Texture.
