. . . and it has been a very long time since the last hair how-to, and after a little shopping for next week’s trip to new york, all that is left are shoes {perhaps these?}, and the perfect up-do, and if you have been reading for a while, you will know about a love for brigitte bardot-esque hair, and so, a few tips on how to keep things sexy & tousled . . .
1. let’s begin
2. take a section of hair from the crown of your head — it can be a large section, or a modestly sized, one as pictured
3. if you have a backcombing brush, use it, if not, any fine bristle brush will work; use the brush to backcomb, backcomb, backcomb that section of hair, starting at the middle of your hair and “peeling” back
4. it should begin to look quite frizzy . . .
5. flip it back
6. pat it down a little, if you like & that it’s it! add a little black eyeliner and some lipstick and you’re set
…………………………………………………………………………………………
. . . and for a slightly edwardian and more prim & proper variation:
1. backcomb everything like crazy
2. lightly brush the top layer of hair so it’s smooth, then twist hair into a little bun and secure with pins
3. pretty, right?
…………………………………………………………………………………………
. . . and last but not least, the half bouffant:
1. backcomb it
2. then pin it
