Hi, I’m Kate! I’m a profession hairstylist on a mission to teach women how to style their hair. My blog, The Small Things Blog, is full of tutorials and inspiration so you can have a great hair day. I also enjoy cooking, crafts, and cats (not necessarily in that order) so you’ll find things about that on my blog too.
I stumbled across this lovely photo a few weeks ago and loved her updo. It’s dressy, yet young. It can be done with or without bangs, so it’s versatile!

Here is the tutorial for you:
Refer to this post to see what’s in my hair.
Refer to this post to see how to curl your hair like mine is curled.
Refer to this post to see my makeup routine.
I added a little ruffle flower in before I snapped the photos! The one I used was a pin, but I slipped a bobby pin through the closed pin and then pushed it into my hair.

Love it! I don’t know how to French braid so I don’t know how well it would work for me but it looks beautiful!!!
