YAY for long hair tutorials

[sdoganay]

that's Adele's hair style! :D

[XxOakDryadxX]

Another excellent video! I I am trying to grow my hair and I want to protect the ends from splits as much as possible. Would this hairdo be safe to wear on an everyday basis?

[torrinpaige]

@XxOakDryadxX The best things for an everyday style would probably be either a Nautilus, a Pretzel bun, a braided bun or a simple cinnabun. Your ends will be tucked away. This one probably wouldn't be the best thing for an everyday style as it requires pinning towards the ends and doing it every day will eventually result in damage.

[XxOakDryadxX]

@torrinpaige Thank you!

[voyance4elle]

thank you very much! this updo is amazing and the tutorial is very helpful! don't know why that pony tail at 3:00 never came into my head because that already works as a nice hairstyle - i like simple styles but with a little pretty detail which makes it special^^ well but the updo is sooo great! i am invited to a wedding next weekend and that is just what i was looking for - even better than i imagined;) i found 3 tutorials, tried them all and yours made it^^ looking forward to the wedding! x

[burnilliterates]

You made it look so easy!

[Rozalyable]

I love Your Videos Torrin and your hair :)))

[babyxedge]

I'm growing my hair out so this works really well on medium length too!

[MariposaLoquita]

Would you consider this the "Victorian Bun"? I have been trying to learn how to do that style, but have yet to figure it out. If anyone knows of a video that will show it, please, please, PLEASE let me know!

[torrinpaige]

@MariposaLoquita This is more of a Gibson Tuck.

[truepatriotdec7]

@MariposaLoquita hi i was wondering if you found a video on how to do the Victorian bun.

my mom and i are going to do civil war reenactments and i need to find out how to do it

thank you,

Christina

[MariposaLoquita]

@truepatriotdec7: i am SO sorry for not responding...i actually rarely login to YouTube. i truly hope you were able to find the victorian bun you were looking for and that your civil war reenactment went well. i'm still looking for the victorian bun myself...i keep finding "gibson tuck's"

[Caralain13]

really pretty do, but the ends keep escaping!! Suggestions?

[whataboutredlorry]

That was really cool - I didnt think it would be so easy and look so good.

For a little twist - before you tie the hair back you could do some little things to the front of your hair, do some little twists going back or something... to add interest to the front. :D

[mysupermoniac]

thats a very long and thick hair!

[sasysuen13]

im growing my hair out nd this hair thingy is so very prtty in my opinion

[icesk8er131]

"skoosh" is a technical term. ahahah

it's so beautiful and simple. lovely.

did i mention you've inspired me to grow out my hair? well. you did.

[guybourap]

Up-Do good style ferite girl

[banjogirl2000]

for a long time, i didn't do anything with my hair and was getting very bored with it. i have medium hair (recently dyed with henna) and your vids are perfect!!!

[mamaong]

Wow ! It look so simple n elegant in your video ! Thank you. ;-)

[PhilTaylorPhotog]

thanks so much for this, I am doing my friends wedding hair soon, and she wants finger waves at the front, and I thought I would do this at the back...thanks!

[EstherShelton]

Thats such a good idea for a bun :)

[xPIPEDREAM]

Wow you sure have a lot of hair!

Haha =P

[mynameisnterin]

Those are some BIG hairpins!

[Midori86]

where do you buy your pins or places do you recommend to get them? cause i dont know if this is possible with hair pins like bobby pins o.O

[FireAndIce0o0]

I CAN"T DO THIS!!! the pony tail holder keeps turning with the hair!!!!!!!! It's driving me crazy!!! this is my own personal frustrating crown braid!!!!!

[TigersPrettyBunny]

Hahaha

I love that

""Skoosh" is a technical term"

[KaleidoKatie]

I love using this hairstyle at work! My hair is as long as yours, though I feel self-conscious wearing it up in public, but this one really works well for me! Thank you so much for your videos! I can't wait to see more!

[Desperada57]

Beautiful! I'll definitely try it when my hair gets long enough!

[casagrandecats]

I love it torrin, thank you.

[xforHimx]

"'Skoosh' is a technical term." LOL

The hair looks lovely for the '30s and '40s style... beautiful!

[3Annabell3]

wow i love ur hair styles.

i was wonderin if u could do something special for me, im a nursin student and i need to have my hair pulled completely out of my face and im sick of doin a stupid ponytail.

so i was wonderin if u could help me do something that pulls all my hair outa my face but still looks gorgeous.

that is if u hav the time

lol

thanx much lov

[Missmonroes]

OMG, this hairstyle is so beautiful, yet so easy to do! Thank you so much for this video.

I wish I had longer hair... :)

[carenome1]

omg! torrin! it's wonderful. love it. i often wear my hair this way, but never thought to pull it through a second time to get that bun look. sooooo vintage!

have you ever done a french roll? NOT a french twist as you and i both have way too much hair for that. it looks like the second step ... where you pull the hair through, but you just put in a large barrette. i will try to get my neighbor to come over and take a pic for you.

thanks for the new inspiration! ta!

[Sarandib22]

Aw! Post a video of yourself doing the crown braid, even if you don't think you have it right. I bet there's some people on here who could give you some suggestions that would work if they get the chance to see how you're doing it. :)

[grekanda29]

It really does look VERY vintage, actually. A hat would look great with it. And LOL about the 'naughty librarian' :)

[casagrandecats]

I think the finger waves bob was in the 20's, the flappers.............again, thanks for sharing

[invisigothgirl]

Most girls would never have cut their hair, though. I've seen pictures of my relatives from that time, and all the women had hair to their bums. I think only the "bad" girls got the bob.

[casagrandecats]

you may be right about that. the flappers were the bar scene girls then I suppose.

[Bethlc81]

Not all girls that got the bob were bad. Many girls wanted to get the bob but the parents didn't approve of the change. Many however rebelled and cut their hair very short.

[XxHaveHopexX]

Omg I love this. I'm gunna try in in a second when I finishe typing this comment and my cup of tea =]. How long did it take you to grow your hair that long?

[jomom6969]

i stared laughfing when you pulled out the little tinny tiny mirror

[jomom6969]

nice

[rac717]

Torrin, you have a beautiful name. I enjoy your tutorials, and I just wanted to say that I appreciate all you've done. Thanks!!

[JJJLongHair4u2c]

Really pretty! I love low buns and they can be hard to hold together with my knee length hair.I think you have a perfect hair length for many styles!

I will try this one soon! I'm so glad you tried the good hair days hair pins! TY for mentioning me too :o) Nice tutorial...I put you at the top of my list on my Youtube tutorial links at JJJLonghairphotopage!

[torrinpaige]

Thank YOU for the hair pin suggestion! They hold like the devil. And they're comfy and don't pop out. Amazing for something made of plastic. Also? They're practically invisible, which I love, as I hate for the works to show. :o) You always give me the best tips.

[diamondsandcats]

Can you tell me what hair pins exactly you are speaking of?

thanks!

[tinmanluver35]

Good Days Hair Pins. You can get them at Walgreens or pretty much any drugstore. They're great too. They're easy to hide and they dont budge.

[monanathan87]

Torrin...This looks lovely and is so easily demonstrated...Kudos to u!

[mommy2two07]

This looks so elegant. I have got to try this one.Oh don't let yourself get down about the crown braid....my suggestion give up on it for awhile and then later if you decide to try again it'll probably click then and you'll be like why did I think that was difficult (things happen like that for me).

[laurencebarchichat]

I love this!! Very pretty for a wedding or something...

lemme know if u need help doing the crown braid.

[maxieg452]

Hi, Torrin!! That is a very pretty style on you! Great job!! :). Hey, I think your awesome at doing your hair, you have much talent, you rock!! :):) Love your hair vids!

[agneshkaaa]

I just love it! This is what I was looking for :)

I'm definitely going to try this :)

[abanillasurfer]

This is such a pretty style in your hair. It really shows the texture and thickness beautifully. I agree the crown braid is hugely frustrating - probably why I'm so determined to conquer it. If anyone can get it you can. Good luck!

[meoncemore]

I just made this! And didn't take but five (!) minutes!

You have my eternal gratitude!!!!!

[mutualmitten]

Beautiful! This is one of my favourite hairstyles -- I love when you do vintage, and 1930s had some of the most lovely. I will try this, even though my hair is thick like yours and even more curly.

Hm.. May I ask where you bought the last decorative pin (not sure what you call them) at the end? It's so nice. I live in Canada, so online would be best for me.

So nice, thanks!

[torrinpaige]

I made them! They're made from knitting needles and I even made a tutorial on how to make them (with a couple of hairstyles thrown in for fun.) It's under "How to Make Fancy Hair-Pins."

[WittoWed]

I think this has to be one of my favorites of all of your styles! It's so "unfussy" and extremely elegant looking! Really classic, clean and just plain nice looking!

[Koubenlin]

WHOA thats gorgeous

[scottishchief26]

wow, thats beauttiful...good job!

[moicatinuviel]

Nice one!!! I know how you feel about the crown braid, I tried for several months to do a dutch horseshoe braid, for my prom, but I had to give up in the end, i ran out of time...

[jennylouwhoo]

i cant wait till my hair is as long as your right now my hair isnt even bra strap length but im determined to grow it to my hip

[JeVoitTout]

Looks great. Good luck with the crown braid!

[Ketherlin]

I wish my hair was your length. Sigh...  Love your videos!

[barnangel56]

I love it! I was looking for vintage hairstyles yesterday that I could wear swing dancing, and all I could find were victory rolls. This is much easier than toiling over curlers and curling irons and gnashing my teeth trying to get the rolls set. Thanks!

[xoxococomademoiselle]

wow ur hair is fabulous and so thick.. ahhh how i envy u!! ur amazing at braiding. ull get the hold on crownbraid :) practice makes perfect!!
