HAIRDO'S #4 : The Aloha-twirl


I promeised you a tutorial of this hairdo about a month ago. And here it is.

For this 'do the hair is parted in three sections (a-b-c) and rolled towards upwards towards you forehead, except for one section which is pulled back with a comb. The bangs/your hair in the front is rolled upwards in a small roll. So, here we go.



I had my hair rolled up during the day and curled my bangs before starting, to get some structure in my hair.
So, to begin with, take your bangs, or -if you don't have any- your hair in the front and fasten it loosely to the side with a pin to be rolled up later (as you can se in the highly informative picture).



Then, part your hair (with a parting comb or similar) on the right side from above your ear until slightly before the top of your head. This will be section A. Fasten it with a bobby pin for now, change it to a comb later on (the comb will otherwise be in the way of rolling the rest of the hair).



Take the hair on top of your head (section B) and part the hair on the left side (slightly lower than where you parted it for section A on the other side), then roll it inwards from the left to the right, towards your forehead. Fasten it on the top of your head.



Take the rest of the hair on the left side (section c) and roll it upwards, towards your face.



Now, go back to section A; take the pin away and fasten it again with a comb. You can "puff" your hair by pressing the comb pretty deep in, it will make the section higher. I use a comb with flowers on. If what's left of section A, hanging under the comb, feels to thin you can make a small roll of it and place it to cover up the parting of section B.



Finally, roll your bangs/hair in the front upwards, in the other direction as the other rolls (right-left) and fasten it. Add some hi-shine hairspray to sleek the rolls.



That's it!


Now you can stick some more flowers in it if you like (I put a lot since I went to the pacific venue after taking these pics). I don't think it matters if you overdo it a little :)



If you ever make any of my hairdo's you can always mail me some pics of it and if I get enough I'll make a post about it!

I really like the way your so peaceful haughty/graceful prestance sublimates the Flower's inner power of evocation, as an invite to contemplation . . .

à Bientôt, Antoine

Marta said...

Amazing! How did you learn to do these??

Elina : Have a nice one you too :)

Stilettostetico : :)

Norma Jeane : I've noticed that if you have less hair you can roll the curl bigger, start by rolling it around two infers for example. Then it needs less hair and can still look big and you still have hair left over :D

Hexotica : Yes it's nice to play around isn't it?

Parapluise : So hop hop, go try it out!

Miss Patio : Thanks. Sometimes I try to copy what I've seen in a picture or so, or then I just have an idea and start trying it out to see how get it right!

Salla said...

What a great tutorial! I am getting really bored wiht my styles and am definitely going to try this out!

I wonder, please could I ask you a question about trashy Diva dresses and the fit? Was the size chart accurate? I would really like to order one, but am scared of dresses with no stretch!

The Hip Housewife said...

OH man! That is going to take some time! But I can't wait to try it out!!

ELM said...

I love this! Just found your blog via Casey Brown Designs. I'm definitely putting this hairdo in the "don't cut your hair again silly, bite the bullet and grow your hair out" inspiration folder.

逆援助 said...

セレブ達は一般の人達とは接する機会もなく、その出会う唯一の場所が「逆援助倶楽部」です。 男性はお金、女性はSEXを要求する場合が多いようです。これは女性に圧倒的な財力があるから成り立つことの出来る関係ではないでしょうか?

Marcy said...

I love your blog, really!

Sarah said...

It's beautiful!
