Easy Elegant Updo For Fine Or Short Hair

- I styled my hair like this for a recent photo shoot and got so many compliments on it I had to re-create it! Here's how I did it. This style is best for fine hair that is a bob. For longer or thicker hair, you could probably skip the added hairpiece.

you make me not afraid to grow old because you're slaying
I appreciate the fact that she's so down to earth and tells us how she uses "blushes" for example, as both blush and eye shadow. She shows very basic and easy ideas, that everyone can do.
Thanks for all your great tips and different recommendations on products one gets at the drug store. Not products most people can't afford. Keep it up. You are helping ALOT if us who have make up but don't know what to do with it!
Those photos are amazing. You look stunning! You are so photogenic and I love the stylish way you pose in your pictures. Maybe do a video on posing for pictures?
I second that motion! 👍
I third it
Yes, please!♥️
Good idea! Would love to learn about posing for pics. I look like a deer in the headlights whenever I pose for photos!
Citizen Tee Me too!
"lets not even call it a tutorial". Love your personality and what you do. I'm starting to go grey and you've given me so many tips. Thank you! And you looked amazing in your photos!
I LOVE your gray hair! It's glamorous and real and anyone who doesn't like it, isn't our people.
Beautiful hairstyle, I will try this.I have learned so much from you from makeup to hair and nice conversations.
Love it "we don't want it to feel like hair" LOL My hair curls so easily too...aren't we the luckiest? LOL That was amazing and beautiful Monique! Side Note: I'm so jealous of your arms! xoxox Mary
Young girls should be looking at your videos, to realise that confidence is the best tool...
Maria Chat ❤❤❤❤❤So agree!
U r a beautiful Caucasian older women ♥️♥️♥️
"Stop a bird in flight." Now that's good hairspray! Loved it!
You did a great job using that hair bump insert. I was always worried it might show through my hair. However, you seemed to have no problems with that. Turned out beautiful!
Love your phrase, "stop a bird in flight". Back in the late 80's and early 90's, I, my girlfriends and our big haired guy musician friends used to use Aquanet Extra Super Hold. It would stop a roach in mid-run and glue it to the wall, too!😂
Adam Ant!
sigh
Wraithworshipper Aquanet and Aussie mega-liquid cement for hair.
Wraithworshipper lol. When I was in fashion school my roommate and I used Aquanet to stick the roaches to the wall!!!!
Lol
Wraithworshipper okay, I seriously need that stuff then... and NOT for my hair! I live in Hawaii and cockroaches are a daily occurrence! InHate those suckers!!
Just what I needed for my daughter's upcoming wedding. Thanks, Monique .
I think you’re a hoot! I love your saying “Stop a bird in flight hairspray!” Which will replace my own saying “I’m single handily depleting the ozone layer!” Love your “real life” tutorial for “real life” hair lol, and your relaxed attitude. I was going to cut my hair today after growing out a short length bob and growing my fringe longer. Since seeing you I’m keeping it! I was of the misconception that as you get older you won’t suit longer hair but you have proved that with a little effort ( which I always put into my hair and appearance ) you can look stunning. Well, not as stunning as you but passable. I’m a girlie girl that likes to look feminine every day with make up and matching accessories but if my hair doesn’t “feel” right I don’t “feel” right. I suppose felt I was loosing my identity ( my hair IS me ) and I’ve realised I’m STILL me just because I’m older and getting grey I just need to embrace it. Go girl! That hair piece is genius because I like that height at the crown and sometimes you feel even superglue wouldn’t hold it so it was a 💡moment for me. Thank you heaps. Absolutely love your photo shoot pictures you have such a natural beauty from the inside out! Hugs💐
You are so damn photogenic, and literally look 20 years younger in photos.
Это фотошоп😂
Fabulous as always Monique, you look amazing in those photos!
I can see why u got so many complements with this do. You look amazing in it and in the photos. I would love to see all the pictures.
Uh Yeah, blush moment! Totally adorable. 😸
your hair is fine...but it's THICK...no wonder it looks good!
"Stop a bird in flight!" I can't believe how many looks you have! Very talented you are!
Too much work.
Love Love Love Frizz Eaze...my entire family uses it now. Even when I was in the hospital for 8 months and lost over half my hair, I always had my pink teasing comb and mini can of Frizz Ease :) You are a beautiful lady and you "for fun" pictures look stunning! XO
Easy. Are you joking?
Please just stop. Have you looked at your scalp? I think you lost most of that thin hair with those sprays and tools. Stop.
When you completed the finished look, you looked like Princess Grace when she need to get dolled up for an important event. You nailed it. BTW, I have not had a zit in over 35 years but I've got a juicy one now. Thanks, Bunches : > )
Unique Monique! that's all I'm saying ...Gorgeous Lady🎭
"We don't want it to feel like hair" LOL

Your face is so pretty you could have a bald head and still look pretty. Love the nails, very pretty.

Yes i agree and her colour hair looks so good with her colour eyes as well.
Could do little better too much spray ..
Two things. First, thank you for making all of us feel more normal while we're aging and still have that "Girl" factor :-) Second. As with all aging and busy lives, it's nice to have a video if you forget how to do it next time :-) God Bless and let's all keep our backs to the wind! Plus! There is a product I use called "Style Edit" comes in many colors. It hides the scalp lines and covers thinner spots, also stays in until you wash it out...Happy Life!
Gorgeous darling! I get aggro and start threatening my hair when I try anything like this. U made it look easy!
You make me feel like I could create a classic do. Love your videos!
My mom had a long hair piece, braided it, then pinned it, almost turbaned style, to the top of her crown. (C.1970-1973) She was the prettiest sister of seven girls, when her hair was up. She passed away, at 39, from lupus.
I always wanted to try that style, but I'm not sure how to give it a modern look.
Do you know what style that I am talking about and would you be able to do it?
Whether you are able to or not, thank you for your very helpful advice and tutorials.
Have a great day.
You remind me of Nicollet Sheridan: )
God bless
I have thin, greying hair and I've discovered texture spray. I use joico or dirty sexy and it gives clean hair a "dirty" texture. Love it as I can't go without washing my hair!
So enjoyable - absolutely refreshing! Feels like I'm sitting on a nearby stool - chatting and watching you work. All that's missing is a glass of wine! Love your style. 😊
Just watched your video. This is definitely a tutorial. Thank you! Cant wait to try this for a wedding. Very pretty.
Thanks for this great tutorial Monique! I, too, have silver hair and I have been using these hair scrunchies to create an updo for a while now....these scrunchies seem to be one of the very few hair accessories I can find in silver...wish they would make more in silver:). Have you tried using two scrunchies for an updo? Just put the first one wrapped as usual around your pony tail or bun. Then, stretch the second one over the messy bun you created ... don't double it. It makes a really nice lush messy bun updo. I likes your use of the "bump" accessory, too! I need to get one!
You are very nice, down to earth and funny. Very pretty too. Thank you
You are just so beautiful....your hair looks like its effortless to achieve, so it's amazing to see all the steps involved to create this stunning look....
Love this, my hair is thin and same length. Thank you.
You have given me so many great ideas for hair and makeup for this time of my life. ❤
You are one of the very few people whose videos never bore me and i'm always fascinated by what you do as well as what you say and the WAY you say things..LOL!! I find your videos awesome and out of ALL the people who put out make-up & hair tutorials, i find you the most REAL. Love love LOVE your sense of humour, as well as your facial expressions...if i could make anyone who does these tutorials my best friend, you would be it!! I adore you & your vids! ^_^ :-D
Now I have one of those ponytail wig think somewhere I wonder where that darn thing is!!! I love your new do I love your videos and you and your personality and way you just let us have it the way it is you're one real lady thank you thank you thank you God bless you take care
This is the first video I have seen from you but I thoroughly enjoyed it, not only did I pick up some great tips but you really made me laugh. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more. Thank you x
You are a very glamorous lady I hope I look as good as you do when I try to do my thin ageing hair
Beautiful as ever.
Idk if that color on your hair is your natural color but it is SO my mature hair goals! I love it so much and you look amazing. Goals goals GOALS!
I LOVE "THE BEDROOM ACTIVITIES ". Looks BEAUTIFUL
You look fab!
You just started my day off right girl, your humour does it every time. I'm on a beach on the opposite coast from you but always feel like I'm drinking wine with a good friend with your videos on. You're a doll!! 😎
So helpful...great sense of humor
You have more patience than I do! Beautiful!

Fabulous. This has eased my day. I can face life again. Its given me so much courAGE. I thought I was the only person going grey with fine hair.
I was watching a lifetime movie tonight and was surprised when I seen you in it. I can't even think of the name right now. The Nanny one :)
Beautiful and elegant up do . You are so gorgeous everything looks good on you. Thank you for sharing this updo idea. Will try it
Amazing to see how you put it all together so well. Looked lovely!
In the late 60's, when the french twist was the thing to have, we put up the twist first, then do the top and sides...
I really like this woman! I'm happy to find a beauty channel that is more conservative with products.
BEAUTIFUL - How amazing do you look in that photoshoot! ❤ Tip - your padding will stay better when you're dressing around it, if you bobble the section of hair underneath it first (instead of the backcomb) x
you have aged well ..and i must admit at 76 i almost gave up ..so this is inspiring and i will try again ..for the christmas holiday
Love love the hair! Can you tell me more about the color of your hair? I’m tired of coloring my hair all the time. I’m going to be 53 in Dec. If I would let my hair completely grow out I would be a salt and pepper color. I’m thinking of going gray.. lol
Monique you crack me up! I bought a new lipstick recently as my fella likes it...i rarely wear it at all. We were very interested to try lots of things to get it off...eating, drinking, kissing...leave the rest to the imagination ;) it was mostly there when i woke up the next day ;)
Thanks for this. I thought I was too old for a hair extension piece in my sixties but seeing yours I changed my mind and ordered one a bit like yours. Looking forward to trying it out.
Love this. Do have psychic abilities? I'm going to a vintage fair this weekend, got the 50's dress, have a similar hairpiece, and I have never thought of using the ponytail wraparound the way you show! Thank you, I will practice on Friday, and out on Saturday.
LOL....I think the words you were looking for were: "I have a date tonight and we're going to figure it out." :D
You’re beautiful ☺️
Thank you!! 😊
Love it but no real working girl life. U r gorgeous
Thank you SO much for this. My son is getting married. I have fine grey/brunette hair same length as yours, thin in the same areas as yours. Can't afford to have my hair done here at $150 per updo!!!! Do you have a PO Box I can send a picture of a painting I am doing. If you like it I'll send you the painting.
fabulous love how's do your own hair n makeup 💗💗💃👌👌
❤️ Your hair has such beautiful color. Mine still has too much brown in it. I was a natural chestnut brown with auburn highlights, being that my mother was a bright reddish copper red hair and my father having dark brown hair. My mother now has solid white hair and my father had the salt and pepper like yours. You are stunningly beautiful! ❤️
Wow! Lovely! So glad that your channel popped into my feed. I recently let my hair grow out silver after decades of hiding grey. I am delighted to find the color is actually pretty! I'm free at last.
Honey, you've got a new sub here. Love your style!
Takes too long too do better wash and blow dry !!!!
Ugh.. First second and i already fall in love with you.
You are gorgeous
Beautiful! The ending was hilarious!!!
Isn't she just adorable when she does that?😂
Wow! I really loved the ‘mock’ French thingy! I also have the same haircolor and the hairpiece! You are a treat to listen to and learn from.. good teacher-share eer!😄😄👏🏻
First time I've ever seen one of your videos....It's past midnight here in London and I've loved it!!! You're so nice and inspiring...Thanks!!
You're really beautiful, miss. I hope that I get to age as gracefully as you do when I get older!
I have wanted the french twist my whole life and my hair is fine as well. I love this video. I'm going to order the wig now and put you video on my favorites list and subscibe and like and try it all out. Thanks so much.
Beautiful you have skills I could never master that!!!
Hope you had a good time and lost your Christie Brinkley! 😁😘
This made my day. Ur casual is my made up look, so great to see how u did it and every product wasn't sky high $$$$ !!😏 I was so ignorant about how to style hair, the video was worth it, just for what I learned. Loved ur November 1,2017 to show me how you do it. You are a great girlfriend to have. Better than my actual friends. Love your videos, ur a true beauty, love your longer hair.
So talented Monique.You learned alot,i imagine watching your parents do hairdressing when you were growing up.
It looks amazing! Those pics are so glamorous, and very Marilyn looking. Love them!!
Gorgeous. You are an inspiration for us mature women.
My hair is very fine to start with and also gray. I listened to this video just before leaving on vacation. I ordered a hair piece on Amazo by PrettyWit for 17.99 because I wanted it to arrive before I left. Otherwise, several others sell it for less. It matched my hair perfectly. I followed most of your instructions, and the result was great for a special outing we had in Cuba. It held even if we were whirling down the highway at some point, sitting in a open top Cadillac - quite a thrill at 63! Merci Monique! By the way, here's a tip: I started taking biotine a few years back as part of a supplement for diabetes, and realized that the places that were going slightly bald on each side of my head (genetic) were very gradually filling out! I did some research, and realized that it's the biotine. I stopped those supplements, too expensive, but continued taking biotine 3000 to 5000 unit/day. It's not costly, found in all pharmacies and health food stores. The "awful" effects - it boosts hair, eyelashes, nail and body hair growth. Well my nails are long and hard, manucured or not; my hair isn't thinning anymore. It will not thicken it by much but makes it so that you stop the thinning out and fills out the balding spots. As for the body hair, since it gets fewer anyway as we get older, it's no problem. So there, I'm not getting anything out of it, I thought you might like the tip from experience for thinning hair. Bonne journée!
Did many up -do's over the years...Try a lock tease and you won't need the bump or as much spray. Hold the hair up like you're doing...put your comb in few inches above root...2 short strokes down and on 3rd stroke bring the comb down to the scalp. This will create the lock tease which will give you a strong foundation to build your hairstyle on and an anchor to lock in the bobby pins.. Can do it a few times more if you want more height in the foundation of style. re: mid-shaft to ends should remain smooth.
Mature age chic on a shoe string budget. Cool. Go for it all you senior girls. You still have the class and style. Even better with age, if you know how. I like this style because it looks stylish but casual in good taste. Not too meticulous, like a "coiffure" from an old style salon but not tacky young looking girlish, like mutton dressed up to imitate lamb. The silvery tones look great on some but not me because I do not possess attractive wrinkles to have this distinguished mature lady look. And I am so jealous! Well done.
Looks great! I like all the changes you make, keeps life exciting!
I'm new to your videos and I Love watching your videos! Some of those other videos people make it so serious and professional like. You are so beautiful and so photogenic you look 25 yrs. younger in your photos! You make me giggle and laugh with some of the things you say. It's like we're right there with you, just us girls talking and hanging out experimenting with hair and makeup stuff, and having fun. Please Keep the videos coming!
I didn't see any short hair video clips.
Thanks for doing this video, 1st time I've seen you. I looked at myself in the mirror today thinking I needed a haircut, to about your length here but if I do that? #1 My hair goes curly and #2 I wouldn't be able to put it up.... Like you just showed me how to do it! I don't have anyone to teach this stuff to me, and I kind of do need it. Thanks for the video.
I don't know how I got here🤔 but I love your personality 🤗🤗 hair and makeup
I’m a hair stylist and your video was fun and funny and you look wonderful whatever age you are. Loved it. I have all kinds of hair pieces but my red is hard to match. I keep trying. Your grey is stunning !
Just started using a hair piece. I also have baby fine hair!!! I'm going to try this for an up coming wedding
Monique, you are such a beautiful woman with a great sense of humor! I love, love, love the colour of your hair. I wonder, is it natural?
Stunning! ...... and those arms 💛 ... 🙏
You have SO much hair. I'm jealous!
darling lady...maybe you can afford plastic surgeries, etc...but please take this advise from a 65 year old...break yourself from wrinkling your beautiful brow and creasing the area between your eyes...it does do very deep damage...love to you
I love the expression "stop a bird in flight hairspray" lol😂😂😂
I love your sparkling personality and your glowing beauty!
You have been added on my Bucket List of People I must meet!!!! You are so awesome , laid back, and helpful when I need inspiration.
I want to be as graciously gorgeous as Monique Parent ✨
you are so beautiful and creative with your hair. your photographer is an artist :-o wow.. amazing hair makeup and photos. is that your natural hair color?...
why people cant accept what god has given them..all these wigs and extensions. You already old, accept it and if you feel good about yourself on the outside , you wont have to be putting a wig on your head! Geezzz, ! Your natural hair could give you a similar effect. Try and turn to your creator while you still have time. You all too blasted vain!
