In this tutorial, I teach you how to create an Edwardian hair roll using your own hair as stuffing as well as teasing. If you’d like any extra help please comment below and let me know what you think! Every hair type is different, so if you don’t use very well try hair spraying the roots of your hair before you tease it. It also helps to have your hair a little greedy and dirty with product to get it to hold the fluffy shape.

In this video, I also show you how to use hair stuffing. Ever been in antique store and wonder why there’s so many cute little containers with a hole in the center? These are hair catchers, and back in The Victorian age into the turn of the century, women would collect their hair from their brushes. One of the reasons they did this was to collect hair so that their loved ones could make jewelry after they had passed. I know this sounds kind of gross but if you ever come across it, it is gorgeous and delicate. But, women collected their hair so that they could ceate these massive fluffy hairstyles that so defined this period. It allows you to match your hair stuffing to your own natural hair, and also not waste what you brush out. I also use hair stuffing in my 1940 styles as well, it helps give you extra body if your hair doesn’t want to tease. I collect hair from my paddle brush when it starts to get too hairy and then save the hair and roll it into little balls.
