Dramatic/Over The Top Protective Updos (Pics)

Ocelan, that's a lovely vampire photo. Nice elegant updo too.

For those wanting to do victory rolls and similar - I do mine without any teasing or backcombing whatsoever and they come out fine.
Start rolling from the bottom of the hair all the way up and then pin. Sometimes I twist the bottom of the hair a little to help me hold it together while rolling. Practice a bit but it should be easy to anyone who can cope with a complicated braided style!

Ocelan, that's beautiful! I tried a beehive today but I'm having trouble with tangling with the length in the back, and securing it over the padding

Found some more (I love Iris J. She really understands what it feels like to put your hair up).

This lady has a few videos of Edwardian styles. She does backcomb, but says you could use rats/hairpieces instead.

How are you all getting on? Any more photos of our own ones?

I have NO IDEA how to style straight hair, but I got curious about how to do some big updos without teasing. Here's one LHC-friendly one I found:

Mostly giant pin curling:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X72_1cOARX8

Wow thanks for finding this and posting this! I am so excited to try this.
