How To Give Your Self A Jennifer Aniston Hair Cut
If your hair tends to be very soft right
after you wash it, you may decide that it is best to create
this tied updo
style on "day old" hair that is not
newly washed.
If
you decide to wash your hair before creating
the look, be sure to finish your shampoo process with a cool
to cold water rinse to close the hair shaft and give you hair
added shine.
Step
One - Towel blot your hair to remove
excess water. Apply a good leave in conditioning product like
Edwin Paul's Leave in Conditioner or Phytotheratrie's Phyto
#7, Phyto #9 or similar hair detangler.
Apply
Phytotherathrie's Defrisant Balm, Edwin Paul's smoothing anti-frizz
product or a similar product to your damp hair.
Blow-dry
your hair on a cool, slow setting using your
fingers to add texture.
Step
Two - Starting at the nape of your neck and working
up slowly and carefully towards the crown, create ropelike
pieces of hair all over your head by twisting your hair with
your fingers. To hold the newly created ropes in place you
can loosely pin them with hairpins. If your find the hairpins
are troublesome, leave the twisted ropes loose.
In
the original instructions provided by Sahag a curling iron
was given as an option to create the twisted hair ropes.
You
can actually use a 1/2 to 1 inch curling iron to create the
twisted pieces. If you do decide to use a curling iron it
is important to be very careful to avoid getting your hair
tangled or wrapped around the iron.
Step
Three - Starting at your hairline, take one twisted
hair rope strand at a time and tie the hair close to the root
with a "hair friendly" elastic band.
It
is important that you do not use rubber bands or any clasps
or bands that will tear or damage your hair.
You
can make the sections anywhere from 1/2 inch to 2 inches in
thickness depending on how many sections you want to have
and the final look you are trying to achieve.
Experiment
with different sizes of hair thickness until you find a perfect
size for your hair sections.
Step
Four - Over each one of the elastic bands tie a five-inch
piece of colored ribbon, string or rope.
You
can also use yarn or even fake hair or hair extension pieces.
Tie each of the ribbons into a knot and then cut off the ends
close to the knot.
Move
down the shaft of each section of hair and continue tying
knots from the root of your hair to about 2 inches from the
ends. Tie different amounts of hair in each section to avoid
an overly structured or uniform look.
Each
strand of twisted hair, depending on how long it is, will
have a variety of knots tied along the length of the hair.
You can space the knots evenly on each strand or mix them
up on each strand. It is up to you how far apart you space
the ties.
Allow
for a "tail" of hair at the end
of each strand so that you can tie all the pieces together
at the nape of the neck (Step Five).
Step
Five - When you get to the nape of the neck pull
all the pieces of tied hair into a ponytail
at the nape of the neck and use on long ribbon, T-shirt strip,
rope or other material to tie all the pieces of tied hair
together. Let the ends of the ribbon hang down the back. Apply
Phytodefrisant Serum, Edwin Paul Shine spray or a similar
product for a finishing touch.
It
will probably be difficult if not impossible for you to create
this updo yourself. It will require help from a stylist or
a friend.
Allow
30-60 minutes for the creation of the style depending on how
long your hair is and how many knots you decide you want to
create.
Once
you have had your stylist or friend practice the style on
your hair, it can be created faster each time that it is recreated.
With
any new style it is always important to take as much time
as possible to assemble all the tools you will need for creating
the style in advance. It is also important to taking the time
to experiment and practice with different looks. It is best
to do this as far in advance of a special event as possible.
This
advance practice gives you time to wear the hairstyle a few times, even if you just wear it at home, to get a feel
for how the style works with your hair. You may decide that
the knots need to be tied tighter, looser or in larger or
smaller sections. You may also find the style is hard to keep
in place.
You
can adjust the style based on your experience wearing it.
This
Look Can Work For Lots Of Hair Types
Jennifer's updo style can work for any hair that is medium to super long in length. Jennifer currently has bra length hair that tends
to be naturally curly and wavy.
Curly
hair and wavy hair can first be straightened using a temporary
straightening product Edwin Paul Smoothing. Thin hair can
be pumped up with a good volumizing shampoo.
This hair style looks especially stunning on thick
hair that has lots of contrasting colors that are emphasized
with the tied hair pieces.
This
celebrity hair style can be worn in a variety of modified
ways including wearing bangs, side tendrils or even leaving
some hair loose to flow down the back.
One
of the advantages to this look is that it can be dressed up
with velvet ribbon or dressed down with string or rope pieces.
Face
Shape Should Be Considered
As always you should take in consideration your natural face
shape. Jennifer has a classic heart shaped face. Notice that
her face shape is softened by the soft tendrils that fall
on the sides and at the front of her face. The front of the
hair is twisted so that the crown has added height which balances
her face even more.
Oval
face shapes can easily wear this style. Round
faces would benefit from side slimming tendrils
that hug the face. Other face shapes can wear this hairstyle
with minor modifications including adding some height or bangs
or adding parts or loose curled tendrils. |
