  • Hello, lovelies! Today's hair tutorial is one of those "looks difficult and impresses your friends,"

  • but is deceptively simple once you've got the knack.

  • I think it works really well as a bridesmaid look or for parties,

  • But equally I quite like it for summer days, or when my roller set goes wrong and the underneath looks great,

  • but the top is terrible. It's really good for that.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • This is my lovely hairnet, I sleep in it to keep my rollers in place and make sure nothing pops off.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • The hair pattern for this look takes the front of your hair into tight curls,

  • and then at the back we have looser waves.

  • The front and the side parting with 5 rollers on the longer side and 3 on the shorter.

  • These rollers have an over-under over-under roll pattern,

  • which will help them to flow nicely together.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • At the back, I've curled the hair sections sideways.

  • You can see more about sideways rolling in my "learn to curl" tutorial,

  • but basically you're just rolling towards the back of your head.

  • Begin by taking out the back. Uncurl, rough, and tuck in, as this minimizes frizziness.

  • Thanks to my amazing Lottabody Setting Lotion,

  • which I really recommend you use, my hair's a little crispy at this stage,

  • but very smooth and delightful once it's all brushed out.

  • Use your hands to break up the curls, then grab your trusty Tangle Teezer

  • or wide tooth comb and get to work.

  • Five minutes of brushing later.... More brushing! This time with my Kent Bristle Brush.

  • This brush gives hair this soft, brushed-out texture than just stars require.

  • It's also good to use as a daily hairbrush to move oil from your roots down to the tips.

  • I try to spend 20 minutes a day brushing my hair when I can remember to or be bothered.

  • Time to take down the front of your hair.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Repeat the same brushing process.

  • [♪ Music changes ♪]

  • Then pin out the way. Well, hey! That's a look by itself.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Take the largest section of hair, separate out a fringe section, and pin to the side.

  • Take a small section of hair from the lower part.

  • Add a spritz of hairspray to make sculpting more manageable and to tame those flyaways.

  • Wind the ends of your hair around two of your fingers as they point upwards.

  • Pull your fingers out from the center as you hold the hair to your head, creating a curl, and pin in place.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • And then pick up the pin you dropped on the floor.

  • Here's a close-up to show you that curl and pin action.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Each curl gets placed over the pin from the curl below.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Repeat on the opposite side.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Again, curl around two fingers as they point upwards.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Time for our final curl. And my camera chose to focus on the flowers behind me.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Add the final pin and we're done with the crown of curls.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Here's an unhelpfully close close-up. Thank you, past me.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Time to tackle the fringe!

  • Begin with backcombing and lots of hairspray. Delightful.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Let the fringe fall where it wants to and then create a final curl.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • Give it a little pat-down, a shakeout, and there we go!

  • Okay! Now I'm just getting over-excited.

  • [♪ Music ♪]

  • So here it is! Vintage bridesmaid crown of curls. And yes, I did used to wear tiaras to school.
