Let's dive into this royal hairstyle that's sure to make you feel like a true Disney princess.
Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials to create this stunning hairstyle. You'll need:
- Comb
- Hairbrush
- Elastic hair ties (multiple sizes)
- Bobby pins
- Hairspray
- Hair accessories (optional, for added sparkle)
Create the Perfect Base
Start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles or knots. Then, gather your hair at the nape of your neck and create a low ponytail using an elastic hair tie. This will serve as the base for your updo.
Sectioning Your Hair
Decide where you want the part of your hair to be. For a classic Aurora look, a deep side part works best. Using your comb, create a clean part from the top of your ear to the other, following the curve of your head.
Building the Crown
Now that your hair is sectioned, it's time to start building the crown of your updo. Take a small section of hair from the front of your ponytail, near the part, and twist it away from your face. Secure this twist with a bobby pin, tucking it into the base of your ponytail. Repeat this process on the other side, creating a symmetrical, twisted look.
Adding Volume and Texture
To create the full, voluminous look of Princess Aurora's hairstyle, you'll need to add some texture and volume to your updo. Take small sections of hair from the top of your ponytail and gently backcomb them, being careful not to create any tangles. Once you've added texture to the top of your hair, gently smooth it out with your hairbrush to create a soft, rounded shape.
Finishing Touches
Now that you've created the base of your updo, it's time to add the finishing touches that will make your hairstyle truly enchanting. Take the remaining hair from your ponytail and wrap it around the base, tucking the ends underneath and securing it with bobby pins. Make sure to hide the elastic hair tie by tucking it into the updo as well.
To add some extra sparkle to your hairstyle, consider adding hair accessories like gemstones, flowers, or a tiara. These accessories can be placed strategically throughout your updo to add a touch of royal elegance.
Setting Your Hairstyle
Once you've finished creating your updo, it's time to set it in place with hairspray. Hold the can about 8-10 inches away from your head and spray evenly, making sure to cover all areas of your hairstyle. This will help ensure that your updo stays in place throughout the day and night.
Enjoy Your Magical Transformation
With these simple steps, you've transformed yourself into the enchanting Princess Aurora. This hairstyle is perfect for any special occasion, from prom to a Disney-themed party. So go ahead, embrace your inner princess, and let your hair tell a story of magic and wonder.
