Grunge Get The Look Up Do


I was in Boots last night shopping for a birthday present when I saw this kit


Get The Look Up Do and couldn't resist trying it out. With 2 weddings in the next month or so I really want to do something a little different with my hair so thought I'd try it out.

Here's what I ended up with...

The kit comes with:

• Hair donuts (big and small) enable you to create the height and volume essential for this look
• pins
• grips
• pintail comb
• snag-free hair band
• black diamanté-encrusted hair band completes the look

The box also has a barcode you can scan with your smartphone to get a video tutorial.


Armed with all the tools and my Ipad I went to work!


I'm not the best at styling and tend to get frustrated when things don't look how they do on all the tutorials I look at but this was pretty easy to recreate.


First, you seperate hair into 2 sections, 1 in front of the ears and 1 behind. Take the hair behind the ears and put into a high ponytail using the snag-free hair band. Select a donut and feed the ponytail through. Pin this in place. Take the front sections of hair and pin back or create a quiff. Then back comb your ponytail for volume, wrap around the donut and then get pinning to secure your do!


I'd say this took me about 10 minutes to create and looks great for any occasion. I'm wearing the look for daytime so haven't used the hair band. It's a look you can dress up or down so it's very versatile and easy to achieve.
