Use a large clip to secure that side section of hair at the back of your head, looping it around itself so that the ends don't stick out. Repeat on the other side. Fabrice says he prefers these larger clips because unlike bobby pins, they actually hold thick hair. "Big clips give volume to the hairstyle and help with the construction. If you use bobby pins for this hairstyle, then halfway through the wedding you will have no hair left in the updo," he says.
