How to Make a Pageant Hair Bump

Success in a pageant requires you to look your best, from your clothes to your hair. Stand out from other contestants by choosing hairstyles with hair bumps, which are appropriate for all aspects of a pageant, from swimwear to evening wear. Hair bumps add volume to fine hair and an interesting element to traditional hairstyles such as ponytails. Create hair bumps with backcombing and a few hair styling tools. Does this Spark an idea?

Updo

Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Apply a thermal spray to towel-dried hair before straightening it using a blow dryer or flat iron.

Brush all your hair straight back and use a hair pick to grab a section of hair at the crown of your head. Hold the section straight up and run a teasing brush up and down the back of the hair, from the ends to the roots. Repeat until you achieve the desired volume.

Spray the section of hair with hair spray before dropping it down with the rest of your hair. Use the brush to gently smooth the top layer of hair to cover the teased hair.

Gather all your hair into a ponytail, smoothing the sides but being careful not to flatten the bump. Secure the ponytail with an elastic band and spray all your hair with hair spray.

Transform an edgy ponytail with a bump into an elegant hairstyle by curling the ponytail and pinning the curls around the elastic band with bobby pins.

Half Updo

Take a section of hair at the crown of your head. To make a small bump, gather the section of hair between the arches of your eyebrows. Use a clip or elastic band to pull the rest of your hair out of the way.

Backcomb underneath the section of hair until you have created fullness. Smooth the top layer of the section to hide the teased hair.

Grip halfway down the section of hair and twist it once. Push the hair slightly forward before pinning it to your head with bobby pins. Spray the bump with hair spray.

Release the rest of your hair. Keep it straight for a casual look or curl it with a curling iron for a more formal look.
