Edwardian Style Hair Gaijin Geisha Evelyn Nesbit Inspired Tutorial

Inspired by the photo 'Gaijin Geisha' showing the beautiful Evelyn Nesbit nonchalantly staring down the camera lens dressed in a kimono with geisha style hair ornaments.

Some say she was the Courtney Stodden of her day, I say she was the first supermodel and the original Gibson Girl - I love her look!

I hope you like this 'inspired by' do. I thought it was a really pretty hairdo for spring what with the pretty cherry blossom as an accessory. Obviously go lighter on the ornaments if you wish or, indeed, stick more in if you are that way inclined! Fun fun fun!

The artificial cherry blossom came in a big bunch from Ebay and I just chopped it down, stripped the wire and shoved it in! The chopsticks come from eBay too - from this lovely lady http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/chosenbyscar...

Hair isn't the most important thing in the world but, sometimes knowing you have a super cool 'do' can make you smile and that can only be a good thing right?

Welcome to Vintagious, here, in my own litttle corner of Youtube I will show you how to create beautiful hairstyles from all eras. Sure, my main focus is on simple vintage hairstyling but I also love easy modern styles.

I don't have a favourite era, it changes all the time. One day it'll be Edwardian hairstyles that I'm all over, the next, pinup girl hair, the next I'll be all about Greek Goddesses and their crazy Barnets! I just love it all!

I do hope that you enjoy my videos and that you can learn something from them, even just a tiny bit - and even if you learn nothing I hope that they make you smile.

Hi, this hairstyle is inspired by this picture, which I believe is called The Guardian geisha. It'S got evening, nesbitt in it the world's first supermodel and original Gibson girl. This is my adapt ation it I'm trying to keep it Edwardian and soft and feminine, but with a hint of Japanese in there. Obviously you can accessorize or not, as you see fit, this is nathalie and you're watching vintages. So I'm starting with my hair just down it hasn't been curled, it's just naturally frizzy and a little bit fuzzy which I feel helps hold the style. Often Edwardian, ladies, had frizzy or we're working with quite thick, coarse fuzzy hair. So if your heads like that, then that's great - if it's not don't worry, you know, use some dry shampoo or something to give you a bit of texture, I'm just sectioning the front of my hair away. So that's down to my ears, that's the front section and twisting it into a twisty, bun and then sectioning another bit of hair from the back of my ears around my head. That'S the middle section and I'm twisting that away too we're going to work with the bottom section of hair. First, take this bottom section of hair and split it into three equal sections, starting on one side or the other under starting on the left side. I'M going to create a barrel roll going up towards my head. Keep your fingers in this roll at all times not to drop it and pin with as many bobby pins as you see, fit, try and keep the barrel roll nice and wide so that it might join the one next to it and look more or less like A continuous roll, I'm now working on the right hand, side doing exactly the same, walking the hair up its lengths and then pinning when it hits my head keeping my finger in at all time. So it's not to drop it and then sliding the bobby pin along the length of the barrel roll keeping it as wide as possible. Now I'm going to try my best to fill up the space in the middle with the barrel roll from the middle section of hair. Now this is quite tricky if you're doing it without a mirror like myself, just give it a go. Pin where you see fit, like I said earlier, the hair in Edwardian days was often worn, quite fuzzy quite wild and the styles weren't perfect. So that's what's great about them. If it goes a little bit wrong, it doesn't matter so much so just get it there. As best as you possibly can now the middle section, I want you to put into a ponytail right in the center of this section, so it should sit quite as if a high ponytail would on your head normally and then we're going to split this ponytail into Sections and start working with the bottom of sections: first you're going to take around about one-inch sections and roll them away from your face and pin them just above the original barrel rolls. The idea here is to cover the parting that you have made. Sectioning your hair and to make the through barrel rolls touch so work. Your way along the bottom section of hair from the ponytail and create barrel rolls going down to the back of your head. I'M doing three you can do for you can do two. It'S really up to you, it's just to cover the parting and just to give a sense of a 360 volume to this style. That'S what we want! We want it to look volumous all around so work around the hair in the ponytail tuck in any. If you've got issues with ends, start your barrel rolls further up the hair length. Then once you've made a couple of loops, you can tuck the ends in hiding them. You see, I've got very freshly ends and I start the barrel roll a little bit further up. Give it a couple of rolls and then tuck the ends in starting to roll from dry ends is very, very difficult. So I'm just now pinning the sides of my hair, just like tooth, like I say, give the 360 volume just keeping it barrel rolls all the time and rolling away from my face just working around my head and pinning, and this I believe it's the last one Where I'm pinning in the center and just making sure that I cover the band and pin on my head, you see it's not equal. The the the poof's, the puffs that they're, not equal, they're they're they're asymmetrical and it doesn't matter you'll see in the final style that it really doesn't matter. I'M just taking this front section of hair now and splitting it into three equal parts. It'S one central and to side partings these side parts I'm going to again make barrel rolls keeping them quiet vertical, and this gives what I think is quite quintessential. Facial look to the hairstyle, but also these rolls were used in Edwardian styles to give volume to the front of the hair. So it's a good it's a good mixture. They were generally blended in a little bit more than I'm going to here, but the the separation in these rolls is what I think it gives it that the Japanese feel again you can blend in more. If you want to join the rolls up, if you think the look is a little bit too too distinct or not just rocket, you know if you're, not it's quite a strong look, but if you're not wearing crazy, Japanese clothes at the time or Edwardian clothes at The time then, then the hairstyle itself really isn't gon na make. You look crazy now to the Sun sex in the fire. I really wanted to get as much of a Japanese feel in this hairstyle as possible, and I kind of wanted to emulate this great wave of Kanagawa picture really with this front kind of rolled pompadour. So yeah just take the front section of your hair and roll. It backwards towards your face and just put it over to the side a bit. So you see the role, the movement in the hair and pin at the base of your head and trying to spread that pomp out a bit. So it is more of a pomp than earth, then a swirl, but still you can see the the movement movement in there. Then just accessorize, as you see fit, I'm putting quite a lot of accessories in my hair, because I really want this to be a fun. Look, I think it's so lovely for springtime with cherry blossom, yeah and flowers. I think this is love. Leave it's all sweet. It may be not for every day, not with all these accessories, but maybe for every day you know just who cares?
