Simple Sassy Updo from Dreadlocks

Simple Sassy Updo from DreadlocksAt first glance dreadlocks might seem too coarse to create something so smooth and sleek as updo hairstyle for special events, but it all comes down to styling and you can be surprised how sophisticated and elegant dreadlock hairstyles can be. Here is a great example of African American prom hairstyles, excellent also for casual occasions. You need to have at least shoulder length locks for this hairstyle. You will also need a hair net and French hair pins.

Take few locks, around 8 to 10, from the temple area on both sides of your head. Bring them to the back and pull underneath the rest of the locks. Tilt forward and tie those two sections of locks to form a knot supporting your hairstyle and creating volume at the crown of the head. Take few more locks, pull to the back and tie over your hair to secure the formation. French hair pins will give you all the necessary anchorage you need to keep the locks and the formation at the crown area in place.

Now you want to create a bun from the rest of the locks. For this purpose you are going to use hair net. If you can see that your net is very loose twist it and fold it in half. Now your net should have the right size and tightness to anchor your bun. Put the rest of the locks into a ponytail, secured with an elastic band. Push the ponytail into the hair net, trying to fill it out evenly and create nice circular shape. Use the French hair pins to secure the base of your bun and to prevent your locks from falling out of the net. In the end you should have a nice full bun in the back of the head and corresponding with it volume at the crown of your head.

Kellie Pickler 1940s Inspired Hairstyle

Kellie Pickler Curly Hairstyles 2012Kellie Pickler always liked to experiment with semi-long and long hairstyles, which looked beautiful on her blond hair. That is why in beginning of 2010 her fans were a little bit shocked to see Kellie Pickler’s new haircut: a short, stacked inverted bob. As Kellie explained it herself, the condition of her hair weakened as a result of intensive styling and she decided to cut the damaged hair parts. Luckily for fans, Kelli’s hair has already grown out and once again she is sporting shoulder length hairstyles.

In her newest video to “Makin’ Me Fall in Love Again” Kellie plays a pin-up girl from 1940s and her hairstyle reflects on the trends of this epoch. To style your hair in a similar way you will need hot rollers, if you want this hairstyle as quickly as possible, or normal rollers if you can spend an hour or two hours with them on your head.

The crucial part of creating the bombshell curls is the process of wrapping  hair sections around the rollers, especially the hair at the top and on both sides of the head. The angle and position of the rollers will affect the shape of curls. In this video Kelli’s hair were curled inward, towards the scalp. Hair on both sides are left loose, so you can make the curls without paying too much attention to their placement on the scalp. As for the bangs and front hair, her hair were sectioned off, pulled to the back and curled inward, towards the parting.

When hot rollers cool down start removing them gently from your hair. Use radial brush to comb your hair. Style the curls anew if necessary. As you can see, they take the rolled shape very easily. Create a soft wave above your forehead. Use pins to anchor it. Use hairspray to soften and emphasize the curls.
