An Easy Updo for Shorter Hair

A Quick Tutorial from The Drawing Room New York

You perfected messy side buns, around-the-head braids, and sleek chignons. Then you got a haircut and could barely muster a ponytail.

Don’t fret. In today’s video, hair genius Adrienne Saczko of The Drawing Room New York demos a beautiful, easy updo for chin-to-shoulder-length locks. All you need is a curling iron (or hot rollers, if that’s easier), hairspray, bobby pins, and your own two hands.

Once you get the style down, feel free to tighten with more pins (or loosen with fewer) and adorn it with your own accessories.

Preferably not mistletoe.

Dedicated Video E-mail: When in Rome

Blind dating. Speed dating. Online dating. You’ve tried everything in your shameless quest to find the perfect man.

So you’ll totally relate to When in Rome. The new film stars Kristen Bell as an ambitious, relationship-challenged New Yorker who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome. There she defiantly steals coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of the men who threw them in.

Her new suitors include a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, she’ll have to determine if it’s the work of the coins or the real thing.

Which is still easier than online dating.

When in Rome opens this Friday. Check local listings for showtimes.
