60s inspired ponytail

*** PLEASE READ BELOW ***

Inspired by the hairstyles of the early 1960s, this is a look I've been sporting a lot lately, and has also gotten many requests from my blog. It looks impressive at the end, but it actually quite simple to do! :) Enjoy!

what did you do with your hair in the "violets are purple" blog post? i love it!!

[elegantlyamused]

@broadwaybound121492 It's similar to the "working girl" hairstyle video I posted today. The front is the same, but in the back I just twisted it up into a horizontal coil and pinned it like crazy! ;)

You should do an old hollywood curls/waves video. I've been trying to master it and it's just not working and I feel like you'd be really good at doing that look!

@iwtlhs112 I have been getting a TON of requests for a look like this recently! Shall have to keep that in my "to do" list for videos... ;)

Do you have any suggestions for untangling the backcombed parts of the hair? I always find that to be the most difficult part.

[elegantlyamused]

@my10intellects I either gently brush out the backcombing, or I'll be sure to wait to do a backcombed style until one of the days I wash my hair--conditioner really helps release the tangles! :)

i love how versatile your videos are. Edwardian one week, 1960s the next! This is lovely

[TheLizHaley]

You should do a Brigitte Bardot hairstyle. Thumbs up if you agree! :]

(Btw I love the simplicity and easy to follow instructions of your videos and your style is lovely!)

[TheLorynfallon]

Hey there Casey--a great way to get the bouffant area large without teasing or bach-combing is to take the inside section of it and create a large barrel-roll pin curl and then pin a smooth section over that to hide it. You can also use a rat :-)

this tutorial is so much fun! i love it and you are too cool! i have really thick hair too---i found a boar bristled hairbrush helps immensely for backcombing (and it saves me from having to do it over and over again--my arms like that hehe). <3

This hairdo kind of reminds me of the gals from The Ronettes :)

[elegantlyamused]

@AutysaurandCo I will certainly consider it!!! :)
