I was just wondering about this particular up-do. It is very pretty, and I want to try it out on my own hair.

Does anyone know if it's got a name already? If it doesn't have a well-know name, what would you call it?

Oh that IS beautiful! I am anxious to know as well! It looks like some kind of flower! Gorgeous!

Gorgeous! I love it! Do you know how it's done?

ooh, pretty! I want to learn how to do it, too, though I have no idea as to how it's done :(

It is a beautiful updo. It appears that it requires a fat curling iron, tons of hairspray, and bobby pins. I wish that I could help more with a name..

I'd also say that there's some fake hair in the top of that updo, since it doesn't match the rest.

I agree, Delilah. I think it is a French twist with a curled hairpiece attached, somewhat hidden by the attaching of the veil.

Isn't it beautiful!!

Oooh. I want to do that. We don't need any fake hair, we got plenty!!

It appears to be a french twist with a cinnabun on top.

It looks like a cottage loaf to me. Very pretty with it!

I think it's fake hair too, but if I had an infinite amount of hair, I'd try:

French twist with ends left loose poking out the top. Push ends through a doughnut/sock that's on top of head, "cover" the doughnut and then leave enough hair in the middle of the doughnut to loop over. All ends tucked in under doughtnut.

Well, I obviously don't have that much hair!!! Maybe that'll be my goal hairstyle or something. :)

That is a really beautiful style. I don't think it's necessarily a hairpiece, because I know that a lot of us have ends which differ in colour from the top of the head.

I would just love to know how that's done, so I can begin practising now for when my hair is long enough in 2 years or so. :)

It looks t me as though she might have parted the front and put it up into a pony tail. then divided the pony doing pin curls. rolling some forward and backward. I'm not sure but it is a very pretty style.

Yes, that looks to be a very plausible method for acheiving this. I have a very poor hand with elaborate updos, but lemme just give it a shot. Thanks Kuchen!

It looks like a french twist with the ends curled and pinned into a faux-bun.

Humm, it's a totaly gorgeous style, but I think anything past waist would be to long to do it.

From what I can tell, I'd guess that her hair was first put in a high pony tail, then sectioned by taking the middle part of the pony tail leaving an outer circle. The inner section was folded over and secured. The outer section was folded over, smoothed and pinned. I watched a hairstylest do something very similiar to this once, and she used the method I described.

It's beautiful, one for me to aspire to.

Please post a picture of your version, Aine!

What is a cottage loaf, Kuchen?

Here's a picture (http://www.robertprice.co.uk/recipes/images/cottage_loaf.jpg).

As for the hairdo model in question the texture looks the same as the rest of her head, so I'd say it's her hair, although the size of the do suggests there may be something in there propping it up :D
