Brooke Asked: I’ve tried wearing my hair up in a sleek ballerina bun but I didn’t like the look. Can you suggest a style that is a little less perfect?

Answer: Brooke, I’m not surprised you didn’t like the ballerina bun look; some people love the sleek, tight finish, while others find it a little too harsh. The slightly messy updo from Cerruti’s A/W ’10 show is the perfect, but not too perfect, ‘do for you. It’s delicate and gra...more
