Have you ever tried to follow the instructions magazines like to give you for putting your hair in an updo? Yeah. It's next to impossible to follow them. (And I write the damn things!) We like to tell you it's <em>SO EASY</em>, but I've heard more than one hairdresser divulge that they leave out a bunch of steps for the sake of simplicity. And then things get chopped out because of word counts.

Sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, I'm here today to give you some instructions that really are idiot-proof.
