British/Australian actress Naomi Watts exuded a preppy and elegant charm at an industry event on July 29th, 2003, where her hair was styled into a ballet-style bun, allowing her precious earrings to take center stage.
To recreate Naomi Watts' updo at home, you'll need a small foam roll, which is the secret to achieving the perfect barrel shape snugly positioned at the nape of your neck. Here’s how to do it:
1. Prepare your hair: Start with clean, dry hair. Lightly tease the crown area for added volume if desired.
2. Create the bun: Place the small foam roll at the nape of your neck. Roll your hair over the foam roll, ensuring the sides are neatly covered to create a smooth and snug barrel shape.
3. Secure with bobby pins: Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place. Insert the pins discreetly to keep the roll secure and hidden.
4. Style your bangs: If you have bangs, style them to suit your face shape. You can sweep them to the side or leave a few strands delicately framing your forehead, as Naomi did.
5. Final touches: Once everything is in place, spray your hair lightly with a good quality hairspray to set the style and ensure it holds throughout the event.
This updo is relatively simple to achieve with the right tools and a bit of practice. It's a perfect choice for formal occasions where you want to showcase elegant jewelry or accessories while keeping your hairstyle refined.
