Get the look: spherical sculpted updo Updos don't have to be traditional to make a statement; this sculpted spherical style by Dutch session stylist and Keune global artistic director, Ilham Mestour, makes an impact while maintaing an avant-garde edge. Perfect for shows, competitions or even the more-adventurous bride or prom guest, this look might have the wow factor but it's not difficult to recreate - simply follow our step-by-step below.
