- Hey everyone, Kayley your friendly neighborhood
hairstylist and today we are recreating some hairstyles
from Taylor Swift's, You Need To Calm Down.
(upbeat music)
Oh my goodness, I loved this music video.
I loved all the colors, I loved all the inclusion,
I loved the set, it was great.
And I immediately wanted to do this video
so I asked you guys in Instagram
if you'd be interested, the majority said yes,
and here we are.
I'm really excited, this is just like playtime for me.
I don't know when I'll wear this hair, I mean I could modify
this and make it everyday-able but mostly
I just wanted to fully get into the colors
and have a good time and I hope that you guys
have a good time watching this.
So that being said, let's get into it.
(light music)
I'm here in full Taylor Swift cosplay, let's get started.
Before I even came on camera I put mouse in my hair
while it was wet and I then I blow dried it
just like I did in my last video.
Same mousse I used in my last video
so if you wanna see that, linked above.
And then before I get into curling
I'm going to use the Ouai Memory Mist
to protect my hair from the heat
but also to add hold.
We're gonna end up brushing through these curls
to we wanna give them as much strength as we can,
hence mousse and memory mist.
And to keep everything easy I actually want to start
with her little rolled bang because that way
we can get it sectioned out
and then worry about everything else afterward.
So you're gonna make a triangle part on top of your head,
it's gonna go about two to three inches back
at the pointiest point.
And then brush or comb all of that forward,
grab your curling iron and curl it under.
Once you've done that you want to just slide
your curling iron out so that it stays rolled up.
If it falls, that's okay, you can just wrap it back up
into that curled shape.
Then you're gonna pin it in place and the bangs are done.
Okay and now we can curl the rest of our hair.
Also I have never seen myself with these bangs
and it throwing me off.
You're gonna start off by sectioning your hair
and clip the rest out of the way.
Then you're going to hold your iron horizontally
and wrap your hair toward your face.
If your iron as the clip you can use that,
if not, just grab it normally.
And optionally once it comes off the iron
you can wrap it back up and pin it in place to cool.
And let's do the same thing on this side.
And now you're gonna keep doing the exact same thing
in sections until all of your hair is curled.
(electronic music)
I am discovering the flaw in my plan
about doing the bangs first
now that I have accidentally hit them
with the curling iron a few times, so.
I'm gonna finish this off
and then we're gonna do the bangs.
(electronic music)
Righty, and while these finish cooling
I'm going to fix the bangs.
As part of sprucing of the bangs
I did a light bit of teasing on the underside
so that the hair would stick together better.
And then I wrapped up from from the very bottom of the hair
going up so everything was evenly distributed.
And then I pinned it in place and sprayed it, like crazy.
So I don't think it's bad idea
to go ahead and curl the bangs first and pin them,
that way they're setting and all of that
while you do everything else.
But then you probably will need to go back in
and do a little finessing like I did.
And now that the hair's cooled
you can take the rollers out.
Now this is a Luke, we're not leaving it here.
For a more polished look you would brush through this
but because Taylor's look is a little bit more undone
I'm just going to rake through it with my fingers.
Things are looking pretty good,
I'm going finesse this just a little bit.
I'm actually going to loosen up the end.
Then I'm going to throw a couple curls up by my part.
(light music)
And then for some texture I'm adding
the Down & Out Dirty spray and once that's in,
this hairstyle's done.
(upbeat music)
And now we're moving onto Updo that Taylor's wearing
towards the beginning of the video.
(cheerful music)
Okay, Ella Woods, Paris Hilton or Barbie, which one am I?
So for the sixth hairstyle you're gonna want to start
with your hair really curled up, to be honest,
a little bit more than mine right now.
If it came fresh off the roller set we just did,
that'd be good but any other method that you like to use
to get your hair super-curly, will be good.
You're gonna section your hair into three pieces.
We have the top, the middle, and the back.
So the top is basically this rectangle right here
where we're gonna make all the fun little
rockabilly twists up here on top.
Gonna section that off.
The middle section is actually a rectangular section
right behind the first section that we did.
So just kind of an extension of that front section.
And everything else is the back section.
Now you can start with either the front
or the back section, the only rule
is that the middle goes last.
I'm gonna go ahead and start with the front.
So we're gonna let this down.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is go through
and tease to make sure that we have a lot of volume
right at the base.
And once it looks something like this
you're going to smooth over the top
which means you barely glide the teeth of the comb
over to smooth out the outside craziness
but leave the inside crazy so it helps to stand the hair up.
Now again this where your hair would have
a little bit more curl than mine does
but we can make it work no matter what.
We're gonna start placing the little pin curls
that you see framing the face,
and we're actually gonna start
with the bottom of the section.
So you're going to flip the hair over
and start with the stuff on the bottom.
We're going to go a section at a time
and wrap the end up the hair up
into kind of a doughnut shape
and pin that doughnut shape against your head.
Starting kind of lower and then working higher
towards the center of the head
where that final curly Q is gonna sit,
or doughnut, I guess I shouldn't mix my metaphors.
And as you're doing you wanna make sure
that you're keeping this kind of Mohawk section
nice and full because if you don't
your hairstyle will be lopsided.
(electronic music)
There's the front roll done
and the good thing about this hairstyle
is that it's a little bit messier
so you just wanna get the general shape going
and then individual curls can kind of follow along.
Now for the back, we're going to do a little French twist.
So you're going to twist your hair
as you hold it up straight towards the ceiling
and that will create a twist
right around the nape of your neck.
You want to bobby pin into that
to hold it in place as many times as you need to
and then let the ends fall free.
That's kind of all the hard stuff we have to do,
now you're just gonna let down that middle section
in between this front roll and the ends
that are hanging down in the back.
You're gonna use the middle section
to add any needed volume on top.
And then move the ends over toward
where the ends from the French twist are
and you can arrange those ends together however you like.
If you wanna copy the way Taylor has it styled,
you're just generally going to make
kind of a large bun shape,
kind of moving around the hair and painting it in place.
(electronic music)
So there are two of Taylor Swift's hairstyles
from You Need To Calm Down.
I loved the music video
and these hairstyles are really cute.
If you guys end up modifying them for real life
let me know because I think they really could be
and they would be really, really cute.
