So on with our tutorial! This week is a continuation of last week’s post, in that we used the gorgeous curls we got using our Curlformers (the Deluxe Range Spiral Curls for Super Long Hair) to help add to this beautiful half-up style. If you have naturally curly hair, you can skip Step 1, but if, like my girl’s, you have straight hair, you’ll need to curl all the hair for this style.

Step 1 – Curl entire head of hair

Watch our How to Use Curlformers video from last week to see how we achieved the gorgeous curls for today’s tutorial. There are so many different lengths & widths of Curlformers, and for this style we used Spiral Curls for Super Long Hair. Click HERE to purchase Curlformers (the Deluxe Range Spiral Curls for Super Long Hair) or you can browse around to find the length/width you desire. On Curlformers website, you can also see the different widths/lengths that are available if you don’t know which one you’d need.

Step 2 – On the right side of the head, create a loose French braid

Stop adding hair to the French braid once you reach the ear, but braid until it reaches the center of the back of the head. If you need help French braiding, watch our “How to French Braid” video HERE.

Step 3 – Secure braid to the center of the back of the head with a few bobby pins

Step 4 – On the left side of the head, create another loose French braid

As before, stop adding hair once you reach the ear, but braid until it reaches the middle of the back of the head.

Step 5 – Grab a bunch of curls below the bobby pins from the center of the back of the head and divide into 3 sections

Just a side note, this isn’t a style that has an exact way it should look. Depending on your curls, hair length and thickness, results will vary!

Step 6 – Loosely, create a regular 3 strand braid with these curls

Step 7 – Roll the braid up toward the head so it creates a loose curly bun

Step 8 – Secure the bun with bobby pins as needed

Step 9 – Adjust curls and braids as desired and spray with hair spray

FINISHED!

We love how this pretty style turned out. If you are interested in more styles we’ve created and more tips & tricks using Curlformers, check out ALL our Curlformers posts HERE.
