Step By Step Nape Roll Hair Tutorial

Modern Wedding Posted: January 17, 2017

NapeRoll-Header

A bride will be front and centre for many events during her engagement, and a team of professional primpers won’t necessarily be on hand all the time. So it’s a good idea to have some pretty hairstyles that she can do on her own. Save this one to your bookmarks. It’s our gorgeous Nape Roll step-by-step!

S T E P   1.
Spray the hair lightly with Goldwell Hot Form. Set with hot rollers and allow to cool before removing. Brush the hair thoroughly to relax the curl.

S T E P   2.
Divide the hair into two sections, across the top of the head from ear to ear and
clip to hold.

S T E P   3.
Lightly backcomb the crown for volume.

S T E P   4.
Carefully smooth over the outer section of the hair with a brush. Lightly spray with Goldwell Regular Hold hair spray.

S T E P   5.
Gather the hair into a pony at the nape, using a band to hold.

S T E P   6.
Gently twist the front section back towards the pony and secure. Repeat the twist of the front section on the other side.

S T E P   7.
Secure the two front sections together with a small band to hold.

S T E P   8.
Clip the twisted sections away. Thoroughly comb the ponytail and place a small elastic band half way down the pony.

S T E P   9.

Drop the top section and backcomb well with a teasing brush. This will give padding to the shape.

Gather the hair together and roll towards the nape of the neck, tucking in the top section as you roll.

S T E P  12.

Smooth the outer section with a tail comb to complete, pinning well to secure.

S T E P 13.

Finish the front sections by opening up the twists and pinning them in place to hold. Complete with Goldwell Regular Hold hair spray.
