Klassy Up-Do (For Fine AND Thick Hair)

So, yeah, it's klassy with a K, cause that's how I roll. Anywhoodles, here's a hairstyle that I do two ways: the first for my finer haired sisters...I make it entirely too big for my own head in the hopes that it will translate to the correct size once it's done in your finer hair. The second is for those with hair like me. It's the same (with a few mods) but done a bit smaller so we don't look silly. However, if you like the giant version, please feel free to give it a go! Big hair is always in style somewhere!

do you wash your brushes? how often? what do you use for your BBB?

[torrinpaige]

@toMarsQuickly I wash my brushes when they need it, I can't really say how often that is. LOL. I use baby shampoo to wash all of my brushes - the ones for my hair, my make-up brushes, and after they've soaked in turpentine - even my oil paint brushes. Most of my brushes have natural hair and I find baby shampoo to be gentle on them.

I had a question about the u pins. I didn't get a good look at them, are they thick like a knitting needle or thin like a bobby pin? I have these pins that are meant for thick hair but they're bendy (i bent one side up to make em stay) . Have you used those?

[torrinpaige]

@evilfoxtail I have two sets of u-pins - I have a set I made by bending double pointed knitting needles in half - they are awesome, and then I have the bendy ones like you described. They aren't the best. ( They are what I used in the tutorial, however.) What I need to invest in are Amish hair pins - they are u-pins that hold their shape. Google them! LOL.

As soon as you upload a new style I am sold and have to try it :D Torrin, I have a question/request which might be little less challenging than the usual braided updos - a retro high ponytail (hollywood starlet-like), I would like to wear it for my upcoming wedding and just cannot figure it out :( I think it is not even a ponytail, just looks like so, but how to make it so voluminous and thick at the base?

[torrinpaige]

@pilarternera do you have a link to a picture? I can see if I can figure it out for you. Just message me here on YT, I can copy and paste the link, no problem. :o)

Thank you so much ! I never thought of using a sockbun before.

[TarawrasaurusRex]

This looked really good on you o: And it actually worked on my hair which surprised me because nothing ever does :D Thank you :)

[HeatherWarsop]

I love ALL your tutorials :) could you how us your dog(s) one day? xx :D

I always failed at the sockbun until I bought a donut with a tiny hole that had finally enough grip to hold in my fine hair. I use two scroos to secure it and it works just fine. It even looks kind of natural because the donut is comparatively small and I have fine hair, so the bun is reasonably sized.

Gave this a try but failed epically. My bsl hair isn't long enough or maybe its the darn layers. I still wore a super cute side rope braid bun and quite enjoyed it. Thanks for all your hard work and my 19 month old approved of this vid! :0)
