Hello, hello. So, if you've seen my hair curling videos,
you'll know that my favourite way to wear my hair is lots of lovely vintage curls
but, I do have to sleep at night
and sometimes, some evenings, I'm pretty much out for the count.
It's a spoonie thing
and yeah, my curls do last for quite a few days,
but sometimes I just can't, I just can't with life
and then I wake up in the morning and I'm like, "Oh, good, I feel great now--but my hair looks terrible."
So, this is what I tend to do when I cannot cope with life the night before
but I want good hair the next day:
Put it up in something pretty.
Hello! Welcome to my natural hair.
Well, that's not true. My natural hair is very straight, very blonde, and has no parting.
It just grows over my face like this; like a fancy Cousin It.
Normally, I create a side parting like this whilst it's still wet
but for this look we're going to be trying: oh, my God, it's a centre parting.
I feel as if I look like a completely different person right now, and it's very weird.
It's also weird to edit this, because I've just cut my hair and now I really miss it.
We will be using the Scunci Heidi Roll kit,
which includes a flexible roller and two mini sectioning clips.
Begin by taking the front section of one side of your hair and twist towards the back
We're aiming for the twisted section to be just above the ear, like so.
Now pin with one of the metal clips.
Repeat with the other side.
Now grab your roller.
You're going to be pulling your hair through this hole in the middle.
Here we go! Oh [clears throat] I'll just pull this hair off beforehand...
Make sure all of your hair has made it through the roller.
Leave an inch or so of hair at the end to ensure none slips through
and roll up to the top.
End slightly with the curve of your head.
There's a clip at either end of the roll,
which we're then going to tuck underneath the top sections we clipped earlier.
It's a bit fiddly, but there we go.
You do have to snap down quite harshly against your head.
Done!
Not really.
Now, we have some gaps at the side, but the first thing is to remove the section clips from the back.
Here's what makes it a Heidi Roll: the two front sections twisting into the back like so.
Here are the hair pins you have to have for this, but they don't put in the box.
As you can see: super gappy - jeepers.
But it's OK: just grab that extra hair, twist it over the top so it looks like this,
and insert a pin underneath the roll
Woah, it's very (?) on this side.
But it's OK, we can fix it.
Tada!
Done! Easy to do, but never as simple as they say on the box.
Here we are: the finished look without any additions.
Hey! Let's go ahead and add some flowers.
These are the same ones from my semi up do last week, and I bought them from eBay for almost nothing.
Link in the description.
And there we go. It's probably symmetrical, but I can't see.
Pretty impressed with myself that I managed to do that.
You can also do this look with a side parting. Just keep your fringe out of the mix and fix it at the end.
And there we go.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
