1920'S Faux Bob, And Updo Tutorial!!
I know a lot of you were excited after I tweeted / FBed / and Instagramed this style a week and a half ago, and it's finally here! :)
These are more modern takes on the 1920's simply because the hair is left a bit more natural rather than being gelled down. I think that is a good change, but if you want to bust out the hairspray, feel free ;D

The Hair bands I wore in the video are from forever 21. The one I used for the bob is a headband with a brooch attached to it.

Everyone kelly here with some 1920s inspired hairstyles. This first one is a gently finger, waved up, do which is very wearable for multiple occasions and then the second one is a faux bob tutorial so that you can get that really kind of accurate flapper hairstyle. For any of you guys who are dressing up as something from the 1920s for all these sides, you're going to start out by separating your hair from the temples up all the way around your head go a little bit further down. If your hair is a little bit more thin, then take the rest and secure it at the nape of your neck in the ponytail. This provides a base for us to put into later whether you're doing the bob or the up. This is going to be very pivotal to the rest of the hairstyle, so make sure you definitely get that ponytail in there well, because it helps the rest of it to be a lot easier. So now we're going to work on finger waves, go ahead and separate about 3/4 of an inch for your first section, we're going to start curling at the bottom. So let that free and pin the rest up and now I'm going to use some heat protection spray. Just to make sure my hair is extra safe because we're using a lot of heat for this, I'm taking a three quarter: inch iron and curling. My hair in small sections toward my face muscles have been curled by wrapping them back up and setting them a place to cool with a clip. You could also use a bobby pin if you don't have small Clips like these and then I'm going to continue through the rest of the section doing the exact same thing. These are no longer or wider than my iron they're little square sections that are about 3/4 of an inch long and wide. So it takes a long time to do that because it's a very small section of hair. But you absolutely need it to get these finger waves right and then continue by taking another 3/4 of an inch section and dropping it and curling that toward your face as well. The reason that we're taking small pieces and curling them and setting them, because you need really really strong curls for this we're going to be combing them a lot and they need to be able to stand up to that once you're done with that. Second, section: go ahead and drop the last section and again curl it toward the base and fit into place. We'Re going to use the exact same thing on the second side, starting with the bottom curling towards the face and securing it with pins. And then we're going to move to the back and the back really just needs to have some curl to it. It doesn't need to be finger. Waved. I think that you're waving the back of your head way too difficult to try to do on yourself. So basically, what you're going to do is just curl downward and you can either let these fall or pin them up just depending on what you want. If you're doing the Bob and your hair doesn't curl very well or very easily, I would recommend to pin them up then you're going to go ahead and let the curls down once they are completely cool. Now for finger waves, you make half circles. The first half circle goes away from your face. The second goes toward your face, so you're going to take a comb and start combing your hair away from your face on a 45 degree angle, because the hair is already curled. It actually goes ahead and completes that half circle for you, as you can see right there. So all you have to do is go ahead and pin it to hold that half circle in place. Then you're going to look right underneath that, and you see this Ridge that forms because the hair is already curled. Normally you have to like work, a comb and your fingers to make that happen with this. All you have to do is take your fingers and push up and pin underneath that to hold that Ridge in place, which is so so nice so right here we're working on this half circle that goes toward your face. So, if you're, finding any hair, that's being a little unruly, go ahead and comb it toward your face before pinning it in place, and you can see that I'm doing that here and then I'm going to do it in the front as well. You especially want to focus on the front to make sure that it looks really really nice right around your face. This method is really helpful because your hair is basically already making the wave all you're really doing is coaxing it into place, which is really nice because you're not forming the wave yourself. So we're going to finish off this wave that goes toward our face by just picking your hair and pushing it up, because it's already curled into place, you don't really have to work that hard. You just have to push it up and it finishes that set for you and you want to pin just underneath that Ridge, those little bumps that you see right there they're called ridges and you want them they're a definite part of finger waves, so go ahead and Do the same thing on the second side, starting by going away from your face and then completing the next steps like we did on the first side, then give it a really good hairspray, because you don't want this to go anywhere. So now, let's move on to the updo. This is actually really easy. Once you've got those finger waves in place, the finger waves are the hardest thing of this whole entire thing. You'Re going to go ahead and take the back of your hair and pin it right over that ponytail and then you're going to take the hair from the front and pinned them back over the ponytail as well. I recommend waiting to take the clips out until after you have this placed. I kind of in retrospect should have done that with my hair as well, but basically just take the hair from the front and pin it back, and if you want to you can leave a little piece down or not. It really doesn't matter. Then, once you have all the hair down go ahead and twist it and curl it against the head and pin it in place, and you can see I'm being really messy with this, and it ends up making a really pretty little bun. I was completely surprised by this technique. The first time I tried it. I really really liked it. So basically, you just take like an inch chunk of hair twist it and because I have long hair, I kind of twisted it and put one part against my head and pinned at a place. And then I twisted the rest of the hair and put it against. My head again, I pin that in place and you just kind of go around. I keep filling it out to make a nice bun shape. You don't want it to be too heavy in one area versus another, so just keep checking yourself in the mirror. As you go to make sure that you're building it up just the way it needs to be built up and you're, not making it too heavy, and that's it for the update old you. It was really really simple. Now we're going to move on to the faux bob, which is actually also pretty simple, so let's go ahead and get started first of all, you're going to go ahead and braid that ponytail that we did at the very beginning and then create a very oval shaped. Bun at the base of your neck, this is going to be the base that we pin into with all of the hair that we take from the top. It gives a lot of help to be able to pin those hair into something that's already there. It makes it a lot more secure and likely to stay throughout the night. So then, if you want to use a headband like, I did go ahead and pin the back of your hair up, put your headband across your forehead and then let the hair in the back down and it covers up the band in the back. Now you want to use a big brush to go ahead and tease the bottom of your hair. This gives you something to pin into, and also kind of helps the hair to keep from breaking, to show that your hair isn't actually nabob, then twist the bottom of it and place that twist against the nape of your neck or against that braid that we did At the back and put it in place and then keep doing that with small sections of hair, just twisting the hair placing that twist against the nape of your neck and pinning it in place, and that's basically all I did if you find that you're starting to Kind of experience a lot of lumpiness or that the hair is breaking too much try taking smaller sections, the more sections you take, the better. This will look also those of you guys with shorter layers, and I have are going to look a lot better with this style than I did because long layers make it a little difficult to do this, although it is definitely still doable. You just want to have that back, curled really nicely, so it looks pretty no matter. What additional tip is to definitely make sure and crisscross your pins to hold that in place at the nape of your neck, so that it doesn't fall out at all, because you definitely don't that to happen. So that's it for our 1920's inspired Styles. I know that there are a little bit more labor-intensive than a lot of stuff. I do, but I thought you guys would really enjoy them and I hope you guys try them out, make sure to tag them with hashtag. Let'S make it up one: if you try them, I would love to see them. I will see you guys in my next video huh bye,

Kayley Melissa: Just until it's dry to the touch :). You shouldn't saturate your hair with the spray anyway, but if there are any damp areas you should wait for them to dry :). I recommend taking the clips out after you've done the rest of the style to keep from accidentally pulling the wave out.

This video was awesome! :)
