Victory Rolls - Hair Tutoral (with bonus hair doughnut tutorial)

 

With the 50's retro look being a huge look alot of ladies are struggling with the 'ole Victory Rolls!

If video tutorials have still left you in a bit of a situation, hopefully this SUPER SIMPLE tutorial will see you through!

 

You will need:

Bobby pins, hairbrush, hair spray and hair clips!

(hair doughnut for bonus tutorial at the end!)

 

 

STEP ONE: 

Curl your hair! It makes the whole process loads easier!

 

STEP TWO:

 Take a section of your hair. You want a section from the front to just behind the ear. It doesn't really matter if the parting isn't particually perfect or anything!

 

STEP THREE:

Divide the section into two and backcomb the back one. This will help hold the shape and make it easier to style!

 

STEP FOUR:

Smooth the non backcombed hair OVER the top of the backcombed bit and smooth with a bit of hairspray. Brush all the hair back and upwards towards the crown, try to make sure you keep this hair smooth!

 

STEP FIVE:

 

Simply roll the ends of your hair around two fingers to make a loop around your fingers! Simple eh?!

 

STEP SIX:

 

Roll the hair in on itself towards the scalp!

 

 

STEP SEVEN:

 

Once you reach the scalp pin the hair with as many bobby pins as you need to keep the shape! Try to hide the pins INSIDE the victory roll.

 

STEP EIGHT:

 

Smooth with hairspray and shape /play with it/add more pins until your happy with the shape!

 

DONE!

 

Repeat on the otherside!

 

Mine are a tad wonky, but my poor head has taken a beating the last few days with curling and highlights, she is in desperate need of a good shampoo and blowdry!

It might take a few attempts to get them perfectly level etc, but you WILL get there!

 

 

 

 

BONUS TUTORIAL

 

How to use a hair doughnut!

 

I still get people telling me they have no idea how to use these little beautys! They really are SUPER easy!

 

Pull the hair back into a pony tail where you want your bun to be and pull the pony tail through the middle of the doughnut.

 

Pull the doughnut to the ends of the hair and simply start rolling the doughnut back towards the head, tucking the hair around it as you go.

 

 

Keep rolling and tucking until you run out of hair, then simply secure with bobby pins and give it a good ole blast of hairspray!

Simple!

 

 

 

 

Until next time!
