So heres something I found on the web when I was looking for some ‘tutorials’ on how to do an easy up do for the street christmas party that we had over the weekend. Its called a ‘gibson roll’ posted by Sarah Lynne Paige. Its sweet. Classic. Took a couple of attempts for me but I eventually got it.
Heres her instructions:
What you Need
comb
hair tie (it doesn’t really matter what color)
bobby pins
roller (optional)
What You Do
Pull your hair into a ponytail. You can make it high, semi-high, or low, as this looks great in all three. (I’ve tried them all!) Next you’ll want to gently pull on the ponytail, almost as if you were going to take it out, and then take your finger and wiggle a gap into your ponytail (in between your scalp and the hair tie) making a sizable nest. Twist your ponytail around your finger with one hand and then roll it up into the neat little nest you made. Now this part can be tricky: keep rolling it up until your ponytail holder can be tucked flesh against your scalp and then use the bobby pins to pin your hair tie against your scalp, keeping the style in place. It’s important that you pin the hair tie because not only will it keep the look in place, but it will hide your hair tie all together. Pretty awesome, I’d say.
but you can visit her video tutorial here.
