Beehive Tutorial:
Step 1: Prepare your hair
- Start with clean, dry, and detangled hair. You can add some texturizing spray or volumizing mousse for added grip and lift.
Step 2: Tease your hair
- Take a section of hair from the crown area and hold it straight up.
- Using a fine-tooth comb or teasing comb, gently backcomb the section towards the roots. Repeat this process with smaller sections, gradually building volume.
Step 3: Create a ponytail
- Gather all the teased hair, including the sections from the sides, into a high ponytail. Secure it with a hair elastic.
Step 4: Shape the beehive
- Hold the ponytail straight up and begin to gently backcomb the entire length to create more volume.
- Once the desired height is achieved, carefully smooth the outer layer of hair using a comb, shaping it into a rounded mound or beehive shape.
Step 5: Secure the beehive
- Use bobby pins to secure the beehive shape, inserting them vertically into the hair to anchor it to the scalp.
- Make sure the pins are hidden and the beehive looks smooth and polished.
Step 6: Finishing touches
- Smooth any loose strands or flyaways with hairspray and gently pat them into place.
- Optionally, you can accessorize the beehive with decorative hairpins, headbands, or scarves to enhance its vintage charm.
Now you have a stylish beehive hairstyle that exudes retro elegance and sophistication. Whether you’re attending a special event or want to add a touch of vintage flair to your everyday look, the beehive is a versatile and timeless choice.
