To start, spray your roots with a volumizing product.

Next, smooth the front and top portion of your hair using a blow dryer and medium-sized round brush -- the heat will work with the volumizing spray to add lift to your hair. Before pinning your hair back, backcomb the crown of your head (just a bit) to add additional volume. Backcombing refresher: take a one-inch section and hold it up, then place a fine-toothed comb or brush into it from the top and push down, pull it out, and repeat. Then smooth out the top layer gently.

Last, grab a section of hair from each side of your head, above your ears, and pull them back (leave bangs or a few face framing layers hanging in front). Then secure the two sections to the back of your head with two bobby pins -- crisscross them so they stay in place.

I don't think this was a very helpful article - mostly just common knowledge.

Emily Blunt's headband is definitely glam! I need to find a cute one that doesn't hurt my head.
