Vintage-y Up-Do

Here is a vintage inspired up-do i came up with while fooling around with my hair one afternoon. One of the gals over on LJ (badbookworm) inspired me to make a tutorial out of it. My hubby calls it "the naughty librarian". Not that it's particularly naughty, but maybe because I tend to be. LOL. Enjoy!

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?

@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.

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!

@MariposaLoquita This is more of a Gibson Tuck.

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!

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.

"'Skoosh' is a technical term." LOL

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

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

@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"

@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]
