1940S Roll Updo Tutorial For Long Hair To Shoulder-Length Hair | Miss Beth Belle ❤️

Hi everyone welcome to my channel. I'Ve had a lot of requests for a tutorial for my 1940's updo, which is perfect for wearing with military uniforms and also 1940s suits and dresses. If you want to add a hair flower, you can make it a touch more feminine. I hope you enjoy the tutorial, please let me know how you get on in the comments below so without further ado. Here we go for this hairstyle. You will need the following: a hairbrush, a brush for backcombing, either normal back combing brush or a paddle brush. Lots of bobby pins, an elasticated sponge, roll and hairspray so step 1 is give your hair a really good brush. I use a Denman soft bristle brush, which is really gentle. I use this everyday so now we're going to create our poof's, so the poof's are the two bits of hair at the front that we back comb to create this hairstyle before the role. So you need to make sure that you've got a side parting. It can be on either side. You can do this hairstyle with a center parting, but it doesn't have quite the same effect. So I would recommend a side parting, and I have my parting on my left, so you're, going to take a section of hair from the side that your parting is on. To do this, you're going to separate the hair behind the ear and take a section about that thick and then pull it upwards and give it a brush. So I'm going to use my paddle brush for this, so brush it in the direction that you're holding it to eliminate any knots, then you're going to hold it. With your left hand, take your paddle brush or your back combing brush and just give that tease towards the root. You can backcomb it just a little bit or a lot. It really depends on how big you want your poof's to be so once you've back combed. It you're going to rest it over your hand and just give it a smooth with the brush just to hide any back combing on the top section of hair that you've done. You want it to be back combed underneath, but you want it to be nice and sleek on top, so once you've done that, just give it a quick spray with some hairspray for the top section at the poof's. I use L net, it's nice and gentle and it's easy to brush out as well for the roll. I use a slightly stronger hairspray, which is a little bit more sticky, so once you've done that, with your right hand, take the section of hair that you're laying over your other hand, so you're going to put your thumb behind grab that section of hair, then, with The other hand twist it towards your face so, with the other hand twist it towards your face, hold it with the other hand and then just push that up which creates your pouf and then just mess about with it. So it's where you want it to be so that creates the pouf now under normal circumstances. All of this obviously would be blond, but current circumstances mean I haven't been able to have my hair colored for three months now. So please do excuse the roots if you're watching this in the future, this was filmed in the middle of a pandemic, so you take a bobby pin and then just push it off puts into the section of head just behind the pouf. So I'll show you there. You just push that upwards and you're just going to leave that for now, because unfortunately, this does have to come down again in a minute and you'll see why so on the other side, you can do the same thing. Take this section of hair at the front from behind the ear, so I just always use my finger to get a rough guide. Okay, so then you're gon na take that hair up, lay it over and give that a brush. Ok! So now we've got that section of hair we're going to do the same as on the other side and tease that towards the root. Now I like this poof on this side to be a bit bigger than the other side, so I tend to go quite a high up with this one and once that's done, it lay over your hand and smooth with the brush. Just until it's nice and smooth just any little bits like this, don't worry about them. For now we can sort those out so give that a spray hold it with your other hand, and then I use my right hand for this as well. You twist it towards your face again, so you just twist it over once then push and the backcombing that you've done. It should mean that that creates a nice shape. So then just pin that the same is on the other side. But this time we want to keep this nice and secure now. This is how it's going to remain so you're gon na take another pin and you're going to pin it through the other one like a cross. Just show you once I've done that so like across and then I always just pop another pin on top of that going from above. That'S just to stop this bit of hair from escaping over that bobby pin. So hopefully you can see that now it does. Look! A little bit messy, but it keeps it all secure and once we've got the roll in things get covered up. So it looks okay, ok! So that's the poof section done for now and next we're going to move on to the wrong. So take your elasticated sponge roll and what you've unfortunately got to do now is take out this poof see you leave the sort of foundations in it's still back home, it's still hair sprayed and you just let that rest. Take your roll and then you're going to take the elastic pop that on top of your head and then you pin the roll from behind, so you just pin right in the middle just to keep it in place. For now now we take the poof that we initially did and we're going to pin that over the a stick - and this just ensures the a stick is kept in place. Okay, so get the proof back where it was. You can feel the elastic on D and and then you just pin same underneath, but over the elastic this time, just stops it from slipping down. Okay, take another pin and then cross it over as we did with the other side there you are so that elastic is nice and secure now and on the other side, you're going to just pin the elastic into the existing sort of clump of bobby pins that You'Ve already put in there, you are okay, so with what I roll in, take the bobby pin out, that's securing it any bits of hair that are over the top of the roll, just tuck them beneath it for now. So what you want to be able to do is hold the roll up, the elastic securely in place there and have no hair over the roll at the moment. Okay, so now we're going to move on to tucking the hair into the roll. So I'm just going to spin round so you can see what I'm doing. Hopefully this is in the middle apologies. If it's not okay, so you're going to separate the hair into two sections with the section on the left, just give it a quick, smooth and then you're going to hold the roll and tuck that hair into the roll and pull it all out. The other side. Now you can feel where the sponges and you need to just make sure, try and make sure at this stage it's all covered. If you've got a mirror in front of you, you can see as well by looking it's good to have a mirror behind. If you can okay, so then you're going to take the other side separate that pop your finger underneath, I always find it helps because then you can hold the hair. That'S coming through so you're going to take all that hair. You will have a little Foley out bit most probably and tuck, that through now, you've got two sections of hair that have been passed through. Take that one, the little pesky escapee took that through as well. Okay, then you're going to take the hair again from the left side took that through covering more of the middle of the roll. This time, and then I add that section of hair to the remaining hair on the right and took all that through. Sometimes they use a mirror behind, sometimes, to be honest, I've done it so much. I can just feel now where things need to be okay, so I can see I've got a little bit of roll sort of hanging out there, so I'm just going to try and spread the hair as best I can over the top of that it does look A little bit messy at this stage, but don't worry all the loose hairs and bits that are hanging out. It'S that sure will be covered up, lovely, okay, so bobby pins. First thing, I'm going to do is: pin the middle section. Now I pin it through my hair and then through the roll as well just to try and make that nice and secure. You can feel there's a crunch when you put the bobby pin through that means, it's nice and secure into the roll. Then I pin the top left just try and make sure all that sponge is covered soap in the top section and then pin the other side as well. Now you want to equally spaced the rest of your bobby pins, so go halfway between at the top and the middle and the same on the other side and again halfway between these two bobby pins. Halfway between these two and keep adding until you feel that the roll is nice and secure if you're wanting it to last all day, I do recommend a lot of bobby pins so now give it a quick spray and just smooth up any of those loose hairs Into the roll spray, the back and just keep smoothing into you can feel that all those loose hairs are safely tucked away. So I've got a little few bits of hair self hanging out. So any like that, I will just tuck behind my ear and this side. I'Ve got a little hanging a bit there so again, I'll just took that behind my ear and then I'll usually just give that a quick spray and smooth it. So it becomes part of the roll okay. I'Ve got a few flyaways up on this pouf, so I'm just getting it below and smooth. I normally have a few short bits sort of around my forehead, so always just got to make sure they're all tucked away and are part of the pouf sprayed in so there we go. That is the finished hairstyle, so it's perfect for 1940s military wear. So RAF uniform 80s or American uniforms too, but you can make it a touch more feminine. If you want to wear it with a suit or a nice dress, you can have hat or you can add a nice hair flower. So if you've got a hair flower with a nice crocodile clip, you can just take the crocodile clip and slip the poof in between it's absolutely ideal for this, and then that's nice and secure and it sits perfectly and that will stay there all day.
