A better actress could not have been selected to portray Marilyn Monroe than actress Kelli Garner for the TV mini-series "The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe". When Kelli walked the red carpet for the screening in Los Angeles on May 12th, 2015 photographers, fans and fellow actors alike couldn't help but feel like Marilyn herself was strutting down the carpet.
Kelli sports an adorable updo for this event. The side wave in the bangs area creates great height on top and the curly tendrils that hang down that add softness around the face to a look that would perhaps otherwise be prim and buttoned up.
The easiest way to achieve Kelli's elegant updo is to separate the sections out. Keep the pieces of hair that you want to have around your face and bring them forward and the top section to create the wave. Pull the rest back into three different mini ponytails.
Twist the hair hanging down from the ponytails into circle like rings and secure into place with bobby pins. Next hair spray the wave over to one side and secure into place. Last, curl the pieces around the face and don't forget to use a generous amount of hair spray on any updo.
