Upsweep the back of your hair to a high ponytail or bun. Sarah Palin's Governor-Chic hair is always in a very professional up-do. To achieve her Governor-Chic hair, be sure to make a part horizontally across your head about a half inch from your hairline. The front part of this hair will be your bangs. Use a small barrette or hair clip to hold that hair together while you upsweep the rest of your hair into a high ponytail almost at the top of your head. If your hair is long, wrap the ponytail around itself until it takes the shape of a bun, and secure with hairpins.

It is all about the bangs! Take the hair from the front of your head that you have saved outside of the ponytail, and lightly curl under with a curling iron, forming bangs. If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, use a straight iron to straighten your hair. If you do not have bangs cut into your hair that is ok. Just part your hair slightly to the left of center and cross your forehead and tuck behind your ear. Do the same on both sides to achieve the look of bangs without cutting your hair. Make sure you use plenty of hair spray to hold your bangs, you can even pin your hair above your ears with small barrettes or hairpins to hold them in place.
