1860’s Hair Twist with Bun

So I saw a picture of this hairstyle and wanted to try it. ย Well…when I don’t do anything to my hair (besides blow-dry it) it is extremely soft and straight. ย I still went ahead and created the look, but would recommend having slightly wavy or at least day-old hair. ย  Having “rougher” hair will allow this look to hold easier and not end up with so many flyaways (as shown in my pictures.)

Alright…step 1 – Part hair down the middle.

Step 2 – divide the top portion of your hair into three parts: 1 – the back middle, and 2 – two front sections from the top of your crown to behind your ear. ย Take these front sections and create a roll with your fingers in the middle. ย Keeping the shape of the roll, take bobby pins and pin the inside of the roll. ย  Take two side sections of the middle section of hair and twist to add more volume on the lower part of your head.

Step 3 – Take the remaining hair and twist into the biggest bun you can make! ย This is where having textured hair would be helpful!

P.S. ย I like the left side of my hair better than the right…the right side section of hair was too soft to hold the right shape.

Step 4 – Add hair combs.

And hairstyle complete!
