Love her or hate her, you've got to admit: Sarah Palin has a great updo. 

"It's really more of a casual up-do than anything else, with teasing here and there for height or support," said Billy Lowe, celebrity stylist and beauty expert.

Wanna copycat her look at home (or, perhaps, looking for ideas on who to be for Halloween)?  Billy shares his how-to-tips.

1. Take a horizontal section across the middle of the head and move a small section forward and out of the way. You'll be using that later to cover up the teasing you'll be doing.

2. Working behind the section you just moved forward, take 1/4-inch sections and tease, pushing the hair to base with a comb. Tease a couple more sections working back toward the crown.

3. Take the first section that you moved out of the way and gently brush it over the teased sections. You don't want to flatten the areas that you teased. This helps conceal the teased sections.

4. Pull back the sides and gather them with the first section and make a loose chignon in the back, or twist up into a bun or clip.

5. Smooth out the bangs. Make them a little piecey.
