Audrey Hepburn'S War & Peace Hairstyle Tutorial

Hey guys welcome to this year's christmas hair tutorial this year i decided to choose a hairstyle from the 1956 movie war and peace with audrey hepburn, which is um, not the most historically accurate piece ever made, but features some really cool hairstyles. So i chose the hairstyle that audrey wears in the last scene of the movie, which is a beautiful braided hairstyle that looks very beautiful but still wearable, and i think it will be absolutely perfect for the upcoming holidays or any other type of formal occasion. So let's get started straight away: i'm going to start by splitting my hair into a center parting down the front, and then i am going to pull all my hair up into a high ponytail and we want this to be the neatest ponytail ever so really try And get this as smooth as possible, i'm using a fine-tooth comb here, but i'm also making sure to leave that parting, because that is an essential part of this hairstyle. I am actually going to go in with some pomade pomade was used a lot during this time and you can see pretty much throughout the entire movie. Audrey'S hairstyles do not move and i'm pretty sure they use either a load of hairspray or pomade vomit's. The easier way to go so i'm just gon na smooth down all of my flyaways and these side pieces of my bangs with pomade and that's going to help me get that really sleek ponytail style, of course, can't forget about those little flyaway hairs at the back Of my neck, so then i'm gon na comb it through once again to break it up a little bit and smooth this out even more and since i've created all kinds of bumps doing this, i'm gon na go back and just redo that ponytail and this time It'S gon na turn out even smoother, taking a little break from hairstyling here, to tell you a little bit about today's sponsor, because this video is currently sponsored by anna louisa. I am a brand ambassador for anna louisa this year and i just wanted to let you know that they are currently running a christmas sale.

I want to give a massive thank you to and louisa for sponsoring this video and let's move on with the hairstyle alright. So here i am just creating this little bun with my hair and i'm gon na. Take this out again later so feel free to disregard this part, but i have to leave it in for things to make sense. So what i'm gon na do is take a braid made of hair extensions. Now, if you have enough hair to make your own braids by all means, use your own hair, my hair is pretty thin, so i need some help in this department. I'M just putting that braid right underneath the little bun that i have using one of those really large and sturdy bobby pins, and i'm going to bring in a second braid pin, both of them down down there and the top hair. My own hair is going to cover all of this mess later, so i don't worry about that. I'M going to take one of the braids and i'm going gon na wrap it around kind of the top of my head to form this kind of crown and then slide in a bobby pin to hold this down. And i'm also going to slide in some u-shaped pins, some hair pins along the length of the braid to make sure that it stays right where i want it to and i'm going to do the same thing with the other side of the braid secure it. And then use some bobby pins to position it on my head all right, so i've taken out that little bun because it didn't work. And now i am just going to flip my hair up in the ponytail and i'm going to pin it down to my head. Using more of those really long sturdy bobby pins - and this is going to help me - create a pretty wide waterfall, especially if your hair is thinner. This is a great way to make sure the hair is spread out nicely. So i'm using four of those to make sure it's really secure and then, when i flip my hair over, it looks a little something like this and everything that's underneath is nicely covered up. So next up, i'm going to take a fairly small curling iron and i'm just going to curl all of that hair that is now still down and i'm making sure to curl everything in the same direction. Because we do want this to combine later on and kind of form one big wave in the back. We don't want it to separate too much, so i'm just going to go in one direction all around. So then, i'm going to take my comb again, comb this through, especially on top that's the most important part, because that's going to make sure that this lies down smoothly. So i'm then going to shape all of this hair so that it falls over. All of that faux braidage and over the parts where the braids are pinned down, i'm just sliding in some u-pins. You could use bobby pins again for this. If you prefer just anything that will hold the hair down there and any of the little tails that are remaining at the bottom, i'm just going to twirl those to make sure that i form pretty little curls and then pin them down there so that they look As if it's loose hair, but really it's pinned down because again, we don't want this to move, and this is your last chance to hide anything that might still be speaking out. I had a bit of extension showing there, so i just covered that up and then next step is to spray this down until it once again does not move anymore. We want this to last for four days. No, you need a lot of hairspray for this to stay and not split and reveal all of that hair mess. That'S underneath so i decided to go back and curl those little side, bits of front hair, and i also curl my bangs to make them look a little bit shorter than they actually are, and there is the hairstyle all finished a really beautiful special occasion. Hairstyle perfect.
