As I'm sure your all aware, sadly Amy Winehouse Passes away Last week. I dont want to go talk too much about the Low points in her life but more rejoyce the good parts,such as her one of a kind fashion. Her style was individual & Exiting.Her most famous trend was the 'Beehive'. Which were also Huge in the 196os.
So I tried it out the other night and it adds a really chic, Different look to that plain old white Vest top & Skinny Jeanes. So I'm going to do a step to step guide on doing a Beehive Hairstyle.
The Beehive.
Place the hair pins, hair spray and comb within easy reach. Sit in front of a mirror and have a hand held mirror to look at the back of your hair when needed.
Pull the hair from the forehead back to the crown into a large hair clip. The hair at the crown and down to the ears is styled last, and placing it in a clip will keep it out of your way & make it easier.
Comb the hair from the nape of the neck and behind the ears up to the top of your head, about an inch below the crown. Do not comb out the end of the curl, only the base. Place Hair pins horizontally across the back of your head to hold the hair up. Hair pins can be hooked together or placed in an "x" position to hold the beehive hair in place.
Style the curled ends into swirls and secure them with hair spray and hair pins. Start with the bottom curl and attach it just below the Hair pin line using a hair pin. Attach each successive layer of curls to the previous curl until all the hair you've pulled up in the back has been curled and styled. Spray generously with hair spray.
Remove the large hair clip holding the hair from the forehead to the crown. Tease/back-comb small sections at a time using the rat tail comb. Tease only the roots of the hair, not the curled ends. After the front hair has been teased, spray generously with hair spray.
Start with the hair closest to the crown and with the end of the comb, pull only the ends of the curls towards the previously styled curls. The object is to swirl the hair from the crown into the curls, continuing to "build" the curls or swirls & height.
Save the front half of the teased hair to style towards your face for a finished look. After all the hair is in place, spray it again with hair spray to withstand the day!
If you try this out please tweet a pic @lucy894 & I will Blog a gallery of People That tried! Even if it goes wrong the first time.
Much Love
