Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”, starring Emma Watson is due to hit theaters on March 17, 2017. We are so excited to see the film. I bought tickets the first day they went on sale! For a princess hairstyle, this one is on the easy end. We use a few twists, flips and a ponytail to create Belle’s look. I even have a little bobby pin trick to help get the classic Belle swoop in front!
This is a beautiful hairstyle that you could wear for any occasion. You could even dress it up for a formal occasion! To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHBellePonytail
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 2 ponytail holders/elastics, 2-4 small bobby pins, spray wax or hairspray, and ribbon {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Begin with some wand curls in the hair.
- Part the hair just slightly off center.
- Pick up a section of hair on one side of the part. This will be the pretty swoop in front.
- Spray a little wax on the hair to keep smooth. Pull the piece down and place a temporary bobby pin about an inch above the ear in front. This is just going to set and help mold our swoop while we are creating the ponytail.
- Repeat steps 3-4 on the other side of the head.
- Pick up a new section of hair at the crown of the head. Secure with an elastic.
- Go back and pull and loosen at the crown to add volume and softness.
- Just above the elastic, create a hole. Flip the ponytail up, through the hole and back down. Now you should have a pretty twist at the crown of the head.
- Next, go back and pick up one of the pieces from the front.
- Twist backward and bring through a hole you will create just above the hole in your ponytail twist.
- Twist that same strand of hair again and bring it through the hole of your ponytail twist. (If you are confused, click on the video link above.)
- Repeat steps 9-11 on the other side.
- Go back and remove the bobby pins. Tug and pull to loosen your twists a bit for a full/soft look.
- Pick up all of the hair in the back and secure with an elastic.
- Create another hole right through the middle of the hair (just above the elastic).
- Flip your ponytail up and then down through your hole to create a pretty twist.
- Tie a bow around the ponytail elastic.
- Finish with hairspray.
