Hair Tutorial: Classic Wave Hairstyle For Girls

This is a special occasion style that anyone can achieve. It will suit nearly any wedding theme and leaves room for accessories such as flowers and headbands. Our celebrity stylist Kota dressed this look two ways to create different looks for classic and romantic weddings Read this entry to see how you can create this hairstyle for girls at home.

Step one:

Brush hair out to match natural part, our mini-model Tinkerbell’s hair naturally falls into a side part. For this look we are trying to create a more defined curl, so use a smaller barrel and use smaller sections than you would for our Romantic Braid look. Spray each section lightly with hairspray before applying the tong. Hold each curl in the tong for about 10 seconds, don’t leave it too long you don’t want to burn the hair.

Step two:

For this style you don’t want to lift the hair at all, so leave the roots flat. This means leaving 2-3 inches at the root of the hair out of the tong. Flatten out any bumps left from pony tails with a cool blow dry and a barrel brush before you start working on that section of hair. 

Step Three: When you have completed the curls rub hairspray onto your hands and pull your fingers through the curls pulling hand down and away from the head. Finish the top with hairspray and use a soft bristle brush to smooth the hair behind the ears.

Accessorizing this look

This is the perfect style to finish with a sweet Alice band.

Flowers from the florist can be requested with a wire or clip fastening attached. Remove outer petals to make larger blooms more suitable for little faces. We just used bobby pins for to create this improvised floral look.

For a half-up floral style

Pull a section free from either side of the face, twist and gather the two sections and the back and pin low on the head, pin so as to maintain the shape of the twist. Cut the rose a short stem and slot into the back of the twist sliding it in on an angle, push it low so it nestles inside the hair.

Hair for Everyday

Variation on Pull-Through Crown

We came up with this after first creating our Pull-Through Crown.  Directions for that can be found on our post from last Monday which is here. 

We decided to take that hair that was hanging down and twist it up to create a more formal updo. 

Starting on the left side, we divided the hanging hair into small sections and made twists out of them.  Each twist was draped below our crown and the end was secured up and over it with a bobby pin just behind the original crown. 

We did this several times creating several draped twsits. 

This was done on the right side as well.   

To finish it off we just added some small flower hair pins and she was ready to go. 

Friday's Film: Butterfly Weave

Here's a video showing you a new twist on one of our all time favorite hairstyles, The Butterfly Wings.  (You can find the original post for Butterfly Wings here.)

It's very simple and had people stopping us all day asking how it was done.

Here's a closer look at the style. 

We started with an off-centered part on the front because I like how that makes the hair look. 

Depending on how long your princess's hair is, you should be able to just let the ends of your woven strands hang down.  If they are a bit short, you can secure them with bobby pins.    

You can also curl the rest of the hair that is hanging down for a more elegant look. 

Pull-Through Crown

This is a style that we will be using over and over again because I love the look of it and it holds all day long. 

You have to start this style by first creating the Butterfly Wing style found here.  Make only three butterfly wings instead of gathering all the hair as done in the original post.  Once you have your three rows of butterfly wings you are ready to move on. 

Begin on the left side of the head and grab a small section of hair just below the bottom twist and right next to the ear.  Comb it smooth and then feed it through the hoop of your Topsy Tail.  Feed the Topsy Tail over the top of the twists and then down behid the back and pull it through. 

This is essentially creating a Pull-Through right over the Butterfly Wings.  Grab another small section of hair right next to your first and repeat the steps.  Do this all the way along that left side until you have come to your elastics in the middle.  (You can use as many sections of hair to create Pull-Throughs as you would like - they can be small or large, it really doesn't matter.) 

Now move over to the right side and repeat the same steps.  Once you have finished that you can complete the style by pulling the middle ponytail over the elastics in one final Pull-Through.  Pull that last one just tight enough to conceal the elastics but not to flip completely through.
