We also recently posted a tutorial for an elegant updo (shown below) if you are wanting more of a formal look. If you have not seen this one yet, the video tutorial can be found at the following link: Holiday updo.
Holiday Hairstyles, Swirling Braids Updo
An elegant updo!
Pretty Christmas hairstyle, New Years Eve hairstyle (or any other special occasion up-style.)
With the holiday season in full swing, we wanted to share a fancy updo that may work for all of the fun holiday parties and events you might be attending this year! We are both very happy with how this "swirling braids updo" turned out, as it looks quite intricate but is actually pretty easy to do!
Of course, this hairstyle doesn't have to be just for the holidays. This braided updo would be lovely for many events such as: The Prom, Homecoming, Recitals, Communions, Weddings, Brides, Flower Girls... any special occasion really.
We choose to go with a tidy and sleek look this time. You could definitely make this style more soft and messy looking if you prefer. Curling her hair before you start (or if you have naturally curly hair) would add some cute texture for more of a bohemian look. Also, you could always leave some hair out around her face to soften things up a bit.
Hairstyling supplies needed to create this updo:
- 1 clear elastic
- Several bobby pins
- 3-4 clips or hair ties to help keep her hair sectioned while you braid
- Comb
- Hairspray or gel (optional)
This hairstyle will work best with long hair or medium hair. To complete this look, you will need to know how to french braid and how to french twist braid (as shown in our video above.)
Elsa Hairstyle Tutorial Inspired By Disney (Frozen)
The twist and bun updo hairstyle Elsa was wearing at the coronation in the Disney movie "Frozen."
Since posting Anna's hairstyle (from the movie Frozen) last week, we have had over 100 requests to do a tutorial for Elsa's coronation hairstyle! We weren't really planning on doing any other "Frozen hairstyles," but how could we ignore that? ;)
Besides, with the holidays right around the corner, I think this would make a lovely hairstyle for Christmas, New Years Eve, or any other holiday occasion that may be celebrated this time of year. This style is simple, elegant, and classic... don't you think?
Keep in mind, there are several different ways you could go about creating this updo. We first tried placing a headband over her head and tucked the hair around it to form the twist. Then we tried making a "French twist" along the side... which actually turned out very true to the original style, but was quite difficult and required tons of bobby pins. We also tried a French fishtail, which looked cool, but not quite right! We finally settled on this simple twist (shown in our tutorial below) because we wanted something that was quick and easy to create for everyone. Although it did not turn out exactly like the original style, I think it is close enough. If you have blonde hair and bangs as well as a tiara or crown, you could really make this look authentic!
Elsa's Coronation Hairstyle Video Tutorial:
Frozen Hairstyles, Anna Coronation Bun
A hairstyle tutorial inspired by the Disney movie "Frozen." This is our take on the bun and braid Anna was wearing at the coronation ceremony.
How many of you have seen Disney's latest animated movie (Frozen?) We watched it over this past Thanksgiving weekend and loved it. Of course, beyond the cute story, I couldn't help but notice all of the adorable hairstyles throughout! This particular hairstyle (on Anna) was my daughter's favorite. And since "our Princess" has pretty much the same reddish brown hair color and length as Anna, we just had to try and re-create this bun!
Trying to create a hairstyle that was originally drawn for an animated character can sometimes be quite challenging. Human hair tends to have a few more issues than cartoon hair. ;) So, keeping that in mind... this is obviously not an exact replica of the original style, but just our interpretation. Also, Anna has bangs (or fringe) and "our Princess" does not. If you have bangs, all the better for this particular style! I think my favorite part of this hairstyle is the darling braided headband placed directly behind her bangs. Super cute.
Anna's Frozen Hairstyle Video Tutorial:
I was waiting for a good view of the back of her bun the entire time I was watching the movie and there were a couple of good shots. But of course, I couldn't find a picture of the back of the hairstyle online. So, I kind of had to go off of memory. There are also many different ways you could go about creating the bun and depending on the length of hair you are working with, you may want to change things up a bit. For example, if you are working with layered hair, you might have more luck with a rope braid instead of simply twisting the hair like we did. And, if your hair is just too short to wrap up in a circular shape, you could really just create a standard bun instead. Whatever works, right?
The main character Elsa (Anna's sister) also wore several cute hairstyles in the movie. I noticed an elegant twist updo at one point, as well as a darling French braid. Disney really did a great job with the braids and hairstyles in this movie!
