DIY vintage hair!


Summer is almost here! (finally!) And since we all know vintage hair is coming back into style, so i spent yesterday evening figuring new hair styles, and i discovered something i thought was really neat(seen to the right) And i just fell in love with it! So if you are as interested as I am, here's how ya do it!!

DIY

First: You may want to start with some texture in your hair, also known as not washing it this morning:)

Then: Pull all your hair over one shoulder, whichever side you prefer. Get a comb and a little bit of some gentle hair spray. Pull one larg section of bangs at the front of your head, braiding the front most part under so you don't get the funny bump. Continue on down allll the way to the ends of your hair making sure you pull hair in at every section, a simple frontal french braid if you are not familiar with french braiding, just youtube it it's pretty simple. ALSO: this may not work if your hair is short or has a lot of short layers, but im sure you can do something similar, just play around with it.

After the braid is finished make sure you spray down alll the loose little flyaways and make sure the braid is secure.

Then: Twist the end of the braid and twirl up around your chin area just under the ear. Pin in place (this may take a few tries before it looks good, just keep trying you'll get there!)

After the braid/bun is in place insert any vintage style head band or fashionable bobby pins, spray all over once more and go! (also make sure your bangs are tucked in! I forgot before i took the picture!)

Remember to have fun with it, i mean it took me a half hour to get the braid right, just have keep trying! The end result is so worth it!


Have a great day, guys:)
