1700's French Revoultion inspired hair - Marie Antoinette/Carlotta

Feel free to check out my Facebook page here :)

I am posting a video soon on the makeup, and thought it would do a video at the same time on how I did the hair. I pulled insperation for this from a few places, There is a book called "Period Hairstyles, for studio, stage and screen" by Kit Spencer which is a brilliant book. There is also a Video by Amy B from Ask Me makeup, that has a Marie Antoinette hair style. Mine is a bit of a blend of the two, but slightly different from both.
Anyway hope you found it helpful or it gave you some ideas on how to create your own looks!
If you had more skill than I you could also leave a little hair at the side to roll up into long pincurls just above your ears. Have fun!

Pursebuzz has a great video on how to make a sock bun, check it out here

This was amazing. It blew my mind (and my mum's) to see how you could achieve such a perfect-looking hairstyle all by yourself! I'm going to try it next costume party I have. I hope someone will do one soon!

.. you did a very good job ! my compliments, you managed to do all this by your self ! Normally this would take almost a couple of hours to any hairdresser.

I loove thiis! I have this beautifull rococo dress I just bought (for only 2000!! o:) and I think I'm going to try this out! But I do have very long hair etc. but I may try it anyway ;) Great job!

Well done! Easy to follow video, and just enough detail without being too lenghty. Can't wait to try it out! I've never heard of hot sticks before. Are they better than a curling iron and hot curler rolls?

You look a lot like Marie Antoinette, especially from the side view! You have very similar noses and faces
