Curl Me Up, Buttercup!
Ok, I've been getting a lot of requests to do another hair blog.
Thought I'd show you guys how to do a vintage/retro 'do...
Start with your hair blown out.
You'll need:
A medium barrel, high-quality curling iron
A few metal clips to hold curls in place for shape
A teasing comb
Hairspray
One) Pin hair back behind the "tucked" ear with a hidden bobby pin
Two) Copy my iron placement and wrap hair almost fully around the barrel once.
Three) Keep the shape of the curl by rolling it up.
Four) Pin the curl "forward" rather than the natural instinct to go "backward".
Five) Move on to the front section. Tease just under the top layer for height. Then, lift the top layer and copy my iron placement in the photos. Do not adjust the way you are holding your hair as you wrap. You're not looking for a smooth curl around the barrel, rather, you want to allow the hair to twist naturally into itself as you wrap around the iron.
Six) Maintaining the shape of the curl, pin up the top section. Again, pin "under" so as to lift the base of the top part.
Seven) Take the second section on the same side and copy my iron placement. Remember not to adjust your hold on the end of your hair. Let your hair twist naturally as you curl.
Eight) Pin this section up in the traditional "backwards" way-- the opposite of what you did on the other side that is tucked.
Nine) Curl & pin the third section in the same way as the prior two.
Ten) Give it a good spray and let it sit for a while.
VOILA!
