I loved this tutorial, and hope to be more involved in future tutorials! Don't forget that this month of October our mom will be putting up more of our #CGHSpooktorial series Halloween Hairstyles, including a collab tutorial of a Monster High character look next week!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 2 small hair elastics, 2 hair ribbons, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Begin by curling the hair with a wand, or a no-heat curling method {I find that 2nd day curls worked best as the base for this hairstyle}…
- Divide the hair down the middle of the head, and secure one half of the hair out of the way for now with an elastic…
- On your first side, pick up a small section of hair near the middle part line and begin to twist it upward toward the part line…
- As you twist the hair back, following your hairline and adding in hair after every twist, make sure all of the hair on that side is eventually incorporated into the twist at the back corner of the head.
- Also as you twist back, you will want to ensure that the twist remains fairly tight against the head {you can loosen it later}..
- While holding the twist tightly in one hand, with your other hand begin to section the rest of that hair into three even strands {Optional: If holding the twist and creating braiding sections is difficult for you, at this point you can secure the twist with an elastic and then cut it out after you finish the braid}…
- With these three strands, now create a simple braid several stitches until you reach the collarbone area.
- Secure the braid with an elastic at that spot {which gives Dorothy's signature fluffy and curly ends to her braids}…
- Repeat these steps to create a second braid on the other side…
- Add hairspray and bows {as desired}.
