Today’s tutorial comes from The Beauty Department. This is an outstanding website that all of you ladies should know about.
My hair is too long to do it quite like this, so I’m working on a way to deal with the extra length. If you have long hair and have done something spiffy to make this work for you, leave a note in the comments or shoot me an email!
TOOLS: bobby pins, accessory, hairspray.
Prep: You’ll want the hair to have some texture before you pin it up. If you have curly hair, you’re all set. If not, use a 1″ spring iron and curl everything away from your face so it will twist easier. Then it’s just 2 steps!
Take the entire left side and start twisting near your ear. Best to twist it kind of tight and then loosen it up after you pin everything. Stop just past the middle and add a large bobby pin for extra support. You can see where we placed it in Katie’s hair. When inserting the bobby pin, go back against the hair, almost like you’re putting it inside the twist you just created!
Now gather all of the hair on the right, along with the hair left out from the other side and twist UP. Position it over the first twist and pin using a large bobby pin. Tuck the hair that’s left out into the twist and add a couple more bobby pins for security. If the hair is too short, just add an accessory!
Now using a hand mirror, check it out from the sides and back to make sure it’s well proportioned and balanced. Loosen it up with your fingers or pull some pieces out around your face if you want a more romantic vibe, then add a veil of hairspray.
Not feeling like this look is complete? Grab a feather or something with sparkles and put it in at the top of your twist!
Yessssssss, I love quick-n-dirty hair tutorials!!! This chick is a video pro! After watching the last few videos I’ve posted, I really appreciate how Bebexo delivers her content.
I just tried this and I really like what my multicolored hair looks like when braided like this; however, I really ought to style the front of my hair. Without bangs, my do just looks flat. What works for you in the front?
Some friends of mine are getting married tomorrow and I’m really excited to get to play “Dress Up.” I have a fun dress to wear, but in Jo fashion, I need to do something exciting with my hair. After stumbling upon this hair tutorial, I decided this was the one for me :D
I’ll be honest, I don’t know if I can do it, but luckily I have a full day to figure out how to make this work. Pictures coming soon!
Hahah, I’m pretty terrible at this one. I can’t quite get the proportions the way I want them (yet), but I think this idea is really neat. I’ve never even thought about twisting my hair like this to make a braid before. Guess you learn something new every day!
Any tricks you’ve found to make this work for you?
The ever-so-fabulous Sarah Breck sent this to me and I thought it was worthy of a share. Thanks Sarah!!
I’ve been know to wear my hair in a similar style to this, and I think how I do it is much more simple; however, I think this looks more professionally done. Regardless, I think this looks smashing.
Send me a picture if you try this. Would love to see how it looks!
Yup, another bun!! They are so versatile; they are messy, classy, clean, chic, or grungy depending on how you personalize it. What can I say, I appreciate a nice bun, hun!
This gal has amazing eyes…
….and a solid hair tutorial. What I like is that she’s basically uses a victory roll technique to roll her hair up and then has turned those rolls into a bun. Just saying, it’s a great idea and I can’t believe I never thought of it. On the other hand, this does mean you need to spend more than 60 seconds on your hair (heheh, often when I’m putting my hair in a bun, it takes less than a minutes. Keeping in place is another story).
Yes, yes, yes!! This is how you do a hair tutorial!
I’m going to wear my hair like this this week. I’ll post pictures when I do.
Oh yeah, in case you guys try these tutorials and take pictures, I’m happy to post them if you send them, OR I’m just happy to check our your hard work! Email them to johoffberg @ gmail . com if you’d like.
I just love the color of this gal’s hair!! Again, gorgeous color and outrageous bangs.
If you’re short on time, jump to 1:46, 5:06, and 10:25 and watch for a little bit.
I’ve done something similar to this, but because my hair normally isn’t super clean, it relatively stays in place with a few bobby pins, sans spray. That being said, I can now see how one can take bangs to a new height because of all the curling and spraying and curling and spraying…. :D
