Hooray for a tutorial. I really like this one a lot, I hope you’ll like it too!
A few things I want to point out…
~If you don’t have a teasing comb, a rat tail comb works just find. You can also use a regular comb or a pick, but I prefer a teasing comb or a rat tail comb.
~Hair pins work so much better for this look than bobbi pins, I know that they can be a little trickier to figure out if you’re not used to them. Let me know if any of you are struggling, and I can probably figure out a tutorial for that!
~Filming a tutorial backwards was my most awkward moment to date. And that is coming from a girl who got her first period at an 8th grade dance. Now do you know why I prefer to do tuties on my friends?
~I’m sorry I just talked about periods. That always happens.
~Sorry I just made up another nickname for “tutorial”. That always happens too.
i wish we were best friends. because if we were, you’d love me so much you’d want to do my hair every day.
i know what a bobby pin is, but i don’t know what a hair pin is…can you show us?
Such a cute vid! I loved the end
I’m glad you did this as a tutorial, I thought it was so cute and clever and convenient when you did it in Chicago.
1. I want your hair color. 2. I want your little reading/drinking/eating nook.
Blog make me covet and I don’t even care!
The End!
Blogs…..
I ruined it.
@Russanne: by reading/drinking/eating nook do you mean my kitchen? because you just feasted your eyes on my entire kitchen/dining room.
@rachelle.: this is a hairpin
Reags, before you even mentioned 60s or had even started doing your hair I just thought you looked so mod glam! And I am really loving the colos(s) of your hair.
And you may have felt awkward, but it didn’t come off awkward at all to have your back to the camera. It’s so nice to see you do these styles on yourself, super helpful!
You are gorgeous!
PS Loved the Brigitte Bardot shout out, made me think of Buzios!!
I love your tutorials and I wish I could hire you to teach me how to do stuff to my hair. I love having it long but it’s so boring because I can’t even manage a messy bun!! It is too heavy and ends up looking like a big blob!! I need serious help!
I love the end of this Reags! You are great!
Probably lame, but I absolutely need a hairpin tutorial. I’m having troubles.
Also, you need to go back to Chicago now that there’s a ginormous 26 foot tall Marilyn Monroe on Michigan Ave. Imagine the cute photos!
This is my favorite video to date…I loved the ending! And your hair color right now is the freaking jam…hair jam that is hahaha. that was a dumb joke.
Can’t wait to try this out!
Love your tutorials. I would love to see some with a bob haircut also.
Adorable. I love getting ideas from your blog!
I wore my hair like this today. LOVE! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have seen this twist a few different times and just didn’t know how to pull it off. It is SO easy! Super cute and I am very happy to have an alternative for my hair! Thanks Reagan!
i LOVE this look! i always use bobby pins because i can never find hairpins that are strong enough. what brand(s) do you use/recommend?
I need hairpin help too. I have a bunch of them from when I was in a wedding last summer, and I can can get the twist. But it only stays for a couple of minutes before it falls. Is there a trick to where/how to put the pins in? I’ll keep practicing, though ’cause I really like this look!
PS I love the music you used!
@Reagan: thanks! that makes sense. i guess i always thought they were just bobby pins, too…just different.
Reagan I just LOVE your hdof blog and I just LOVE you! I love this look – might have to be my next one to try. Question for you, I love the lip color you are wearing in the video, I must know what it is! Thanks!
I love these tutorials. I’m just getting to the length where I can do a lot of these fun things with it. I’ve been trying the half-halo braids, but I am not great at french braiding on my own head yet (holy tired arms)! I’m definitely trying this one soon. Looks like a great one to wear to work and quick because I don’t get up early enough to “do” my hair everyday.
Reagan, I love your blog so much! You hair reminds me SO much of my own, so everything you do I want to try! Just soo ready for my hair to be long again so I can pull off more of the styles. Great tutorial!
Sexy snakeskin pattern mix and match this nude-colored Louboutin high heels so that the overall tone is very unified enough gorgeous upper body, choose such a nude-colored high heels with a look as simple or as complex looked very natural.
