How do I do the Belle hairstyle?

In Beauty and the Beast where Belle is dancing with Beast she has the most gorgeous hairstyle. Where half of her hair is up in a bun. I know this sounds silly but if any of you know the hairstyle I'm talking about, how do you do it? :)|||It's not as hard as it sounds, but it does require some prep work.





First things first, blowdry your clean, damn hair with a big of volumizing spray(I like Bedhead Queen For A Day) or volumizing mousse(Kenra's Volume Extra Mousse is awesome for this) and a large round brush. Then set you dry hair on medium or slightly larger hot rollers. This gives it that loose wave and makes it easier to work with when doing the updo part. When you take them out, sweep all the hair above your ear level(make sure you take an even part) into an elastic at your crown, but use a brush and pull it back really loosely, so it drapes slight around the face. Loose section, but secure the elastic good so it doesn't slip. Then take a small comb or rattail comb and tease the ponytail so it poufs up. Smooth over the top section with the brush, but don't brush out the teasing. take the top section and smooth it over the rest of the ponytail, you should be able to get it pretty circular in shape. Then take bobby pins and pin any loose, smoothed hair under the elastic. You shouldn't see any pins. Wrap a ribbon if you choose, or leave a small piece of hair out to wrap around the bun to conceal the elastic. Finish it off with a blast of freeze spray, and you are Belle-licious!
