I'm really bad at hairstyles - all I know are English/French/5-strand/11-strand/fishtail braids, and the nautilus and cinnabun. I want to learn more, but it's so hard! I'm trying to learn the Gibson Roll in this tutorial: https://rapunzelsresource.wordpress.com/2010/07/07/gibson-roll/#more-1888
But I don't understand her instructions! I tried looking for other tutorials, but they're all for something different, not this style. Does anyone know how to do this?
1. When she says to twist the sides of your hair...is that the whole of each side, leaving just the middle, or just a section from each side? Every time I try to do this part, by the time I get the ponytail secured, the twists have somehow disappeared completely, and it's just a normal ponytail. It doesn't look anything at all like hers does! I've tried clipping one side in place while I twist the other side, and then only taking the clip out after I've made the ponytail, but it doesn't help!
2. I don't understand step two at all. I checked out her linked tutorial to flip a ponytail like she instructed, but that one looks like the length comes out on the bottom, whereas in the Gibson Roll tutorial, the length comes out of the top, above the ponytail.
I don't understand how she's doing this! It's driving me crazy!! :steam:wail: It seems like it should be so easy! Can someone help me out? Or point me in the direction of a clearer tutorial for the same hairstyle?
