Twisted-Rope-Updo Tutorial

Hello there!
In my last post I've showed you how to do a twisted rope Braid. And today I want to share with you a tutorial which based on this braid.
I wear this updo on a festival from my little sister and got a lot of compliments for this updo, because it looks a bit difficult to do BUT IT ISN'T !!! (:   


This hairstyle of Amanda Seyfried, which she wore on an awards night, inspired me to do this updo.
The Updo I want to show you, does not look exactly like Amanda's Updo but it's quiet close to her's ^^

So if you're interested in how to do this updo the keep on reading !!! n_n

What you need:

-Hairbrush

- Hairspray/foam

- some elastics

- some bobby pins

1. Brush your hair and make sure that there any             knots. Then put a little bit of hair foam on your         hair to make them easier for you to grab. After         all preparations are done part your hair to a               middle parting (I hope you now what I mean             :s).Now braid both side of your hair to a                   twisted rope braid.(To see how to do the                 "Twisted-Rope-Braid"  click [here]

2. Knot the two braids together and let the endings               hanging out.
   
  

   In the next step you've got two opinions how to               continue with this updo ( I'll show both) ^^

3.1 (Choice A)
      Take some bobby pins and secure the endings         of the two braids behind the actual "braid" and         hide them so that you can't see any hair tips or           the elastics after that.
      
      The final result of this choice is seen in the 
      last two pictures. :3

 3.2 (Choice B)
       Take the two endings and cross them over.
       Secure the endings with a few bobby pins on the side of your head,          were you cross the endings over....

       
       ...Unfortunately I forgot to take a final picture of choice B.
          But when I have to describe it the Updo looks like a little 
          swirl. You may see a bit of it in the second picture of choice B :s 

    

FINAL RESULT:
As already mention this is the result of choice A 
So after all work it should look like this. ^~^

....Well this was my tutorial for the "Twisted-Rope-Updo". I think this Updo looks very elegant and chic but you can also wear it on festivals or garden parties.This hairstyle is also good for the hot summer months 'cause you have no hairs in your neck which is really refreshing..hehe...

Thanks for reading my tutorial I hope you enjoyed it and maybe looking forward to my next post !!! <3
