How to: 1960's hair!



    Today we're going to show you just a few of the many ways you can create that beautiful 1960's       hair! As we've said before, we love the 60's! Makeup, Clothing, And of 'course the hair! This tutorial is fairly easy, but not recommended for everyday use as there is a lot of backcombing and that can be damaging to the hair if done frequently. So keep it to the partaays!

So what you need for this is:

A comb
Hairspray
Bobby pins
Hot rollers (optional)
Hair ties

                                                         


Start off with putting hot rollers in your hair. You don't have to do this, but it is strongly suggested. They will add volume and a soft feminine look, and curls hold hairstyles better.




Take them out and gently brush through them with your fingers.




Now take a small section at the front of your head and pin it out of the way. Now taking your hair in layers start backcombing. Don't be really rough with your hair! Just gently drag the comb backwards on   your hair.  Hairspray as you go along.




Now once your done take the section you pinned aside and very carefully brush it back over the teased parts. This is going to hide the mess. You can already see how much smoother it looks here than before! We also left two little front sections out, and pinned them around the back to give it a more defined style. See how much more noticeable the bump is now?




Here we pulled the hair into a low side ponytail. You have to be careful though, because it does flatten to poof a bit.




Our last one was actually a mistake. We tried putting the hair into a high pony, but it looked like a weird alien head. So we twisted the hair into a bun instead, and although it's hard to see them, added some flowers. This is a much more formal look. It would also look nice if you took the hair when it was down, and pulled it into a french twist. 

P.S Hairspray hairspray hairspray!!!

So We hope you enjoyed this, and try it for yourself!
