- Hi, my name is Bonnie Argo and I am a super Disney fan
and professional hair stylist,
and today I'm going to show you how to craft
an elegant hair style inspired by
Belle from Beauty and the Beast,
and I could not do it without
the help of my friend, Brandeline.
Are you excited?
- Yeah.
- Me too, let's get started.
Okay so with this Belle hairstyle,
it's important that I'm sectioning off
these little pieces by her face in the beginning.
And now what I'm gonna do is section off
and do a ponytail on the top of her head,
kind of like a half-up.
So, what's your favorite Disney princess?
- It's Belle.
- [Bonnie] Belle? Oh my gosh, I love Belle.
What do you love about Belle?
- It's because she loves to read and I love to read.
- [Bonnie] You do?
- Yeah.
- [Bonnie] What do you like to read?
- I like to read books.
- [Bonnie] Yeah, that's so cool.
(Playful, twinkly music)
So now that I've created a half-up hairstyle
in a ponytail at the top of her head,
I'm actually going to create a hole
right in the middle of it,
and do a topsy tail but instead of going over,
I'm going to go under.
You can just do it with your fingers.
And you're gonna pull through and pull it over,
and that's gonna help create that bump that you want
for Belle's hairstyle.
And now what I'm gonna do is backcomb this part.
Some people call it teasing,
whichever one you're familiar with,
backcombing or teasing.
We're just going the opposite way of the hair.
And then I'm gonna start by
pinning up these little pieces by her face,
but I want them to be nice and loose.
I don't want them to be super tight.
Now I'm going to twist this side of her hair.
As I twist the hair, I'm going to
pin it up underneath that ponytail holder.
So now I'm on the other side,
and I'm going to take that piece that
I left out in the very beginning
and I'm going to twist it,
and you can twist it the other way if you want
but I like twisting it away from her face.
And then I'm gonna do the same thing
by bringing it up underneath her ponytail
and securing it with a bobby pin.
What's your favorite animal?
- It's a coyote.
- A coyote?
Why do you like coyotes?
- Because they're so cute when they're babies.
- Do you know what sound a coyote makes?
(both howl)
They sound so sweet, don't they?
- Yeah.
- So now that I have both twists
pinned up underneath her ponytail,
I'm gonna take that backcomb that I did earlier
and backcomb just a little bit more.
And underneath, you can see where we pinned,
the right side and the left side,
and it just lays over really nicely.
I'm gonna take a different comb and just smooth that over.
Okay so now that I've smoothed that down,
I'm going to take a ribbon,
I like this gold ribbon because
it is the color of Belle's dress,
she has gold and yellow.
So I went ahead and put bobby pins on both sides of her hair
and I'm gonna pin it in underneath
where I pinned in the sides of her hair earlier.
I'm just gonna backcomb it a little bit more
to make sure it's nice and fluffy.
Who usually does your hair?
- [Brandeline] My mom.
- [Bonnie] (gasps) really?
- [Brandeline] Yes.
- Do you love when she does your hair?
- Yeah because she is so good.
She does like ponytails
and like the thing you're doing right now.
- That's so fun.
I love doing my hair different ways
because it allows me to express myself.
It's a fun way to get artistic
and show off your style.
- [Brandeline] Yes.
- Now that I have put the ribbon in
and I've made sure that this part
back here is smoothed down,
I'm just gonna spray everything into place.
(light, playful music)
I can't wait for you to see it.
Okay let's look (gasps).
Oh my goodness.
- I love it.
- [Bonnie] Do you feel like Belle?
- [Brandeline] Yes.
- I think I have just the finishing touch.
- Belle dress, wow!
- [Bonnie] You wanna try it on?
- [Brandeline] Yeah.
- Princess Brandeline, you look gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- Show off your dress, wow.
Do you feel like a princess?
- Yes.
- You are a princess.
You like to dance?
- Yes.
(upbeat, playful music)
- Well that wraps the end of our video,
thank you so much for watching.
You look so pretty.
- Thank you.
- Bye, guys.
