Introduction: Girl-ish Pompadour - Pin Up Style

About: I'm a longhaired carfter and knitter with a taste for the silly and bizarre. You can find some of my patterns on my blog - please leave a message if you don't able to read German!

eskimojo made up a good tuto for guys , so I decided to do a tuto for the ladies...
Please rate me some stars, if you like this tutorial!

Step 1: What You Will Need

- long bangs (or no bangs, as me)
- rattail comb
- a small ponytail holder
- clips, claws or bobby pins

And, last but not least:
GREASY hair!

Mine was naturally greasy while making the photos, but if you prefer regular washes, you might use beer for rinsing after the wash and pomade.
Both will nourish your hair.

Step 2: Parting and ... Braiding?!

Part off a thin, broad strand on your forehead and comb it straight. Maybe you wwant to use your pmade now? ;-)

After ca. 4 to 5" after the roots, start a very loose braid and bind it  off. 

Now you should be looking like a 14year old Misfits fan who ran out of hair wax  ^_^.

Step 3: Make a Coil

Make the braid a coil round two or three of your fingers.
Roll it up, like you would roll your hair with a curler.

Step 4: Roll Up and Fix

Roll your pomp up until its close to the scalp.
Arrange it carefully, then fix it.
Voila, you're done!!

Now do some make up, grab a dress and go out!
