I know I get all crazy excited about updos a lot, but when they're as adorable as Jessica Alba's here, it's kind of called for. Look at this style from the side and tell me it's not the loveliest little ball of cuteness you ever did see:
Oh, yeah, and here it is from the front, too:
If you're as into it as I am, check out my how-to below:
Step 1: Curl your hair all over with a 1" barrel curling iron.
Step 2: Pull the very front strip of your hair on the top back and give it a loose twist or two before pinning it back.
Step 3: Pull the rest of your hair over into a side ponytail and secure with an elastic band.
Step 4: Begin pinning individual locks against your head in a ball shape with hairpins that match your hair color. The idea her is to move the curls around to fill in any empty areas. Make sure to pin the bottom half so the curls roll under.
Step 4: Spray with hairspray.
