Katie always has amazing, fancy hair! Today she's sharing her secret technique for perfect holiday hair...
Step 1: Gather a section of hair from the top/center of your head. Step 2: Give it a little back-combing to add some texture and volume. Step 3 + 4: Take a piece of fabric and fold in half one or two times to make it thicker. Note: The fabric I used was 4.5 x 4.5 inches and then doubled over to make it thicker. Begin wrapping the hair around it like a curler. Step 5: Continue rolling the hair until you reach the scalp. Pin in place. Step 6: Add random braids throughout to add a little extra character.
Complete this look by adding a bow to the back!
Thank you, Katie, for sharing this technique with us! It's so cute. I love that the bump is understated and not gigantic like our beloved beehive. This style is easy to wear to most any occasion, whether a party or a more casual event. Have fun styling! xo. elsie

Beautiful! I have shorter hair though so I'll have to improvise something similar. I love the little braids.

She's as cute as a power puff girl - and I'm a bit embarrased to say I watched that (as an adult/teen). They were so fiesty! Anyway - Katie is cool.
