I am by no means a hairdresser, but I love experimenting with my hair and created this simple beehive for a vintage look. After Schez requested, I thought I'd write a how I achieved it post. I'd say this style can work on any hair length between shoulder length to waist length. I have very long hair but it could work easily on long bobs.
Step 1. Bush your hair through so there are no knots. If your hair is a day unwashed this also helps
Step 2. Section off the front part of your hair from above your ears across your crown, pull this forwards and use a pin to hold it out the wayStep 3. Grab the rest of your hair into a low ponytail
Step 4. Twist the ponytail, pulling it up until you have twisted it tightly all the way to tne ends
Step 5. Fold the twist round on itself and tuck the ends under the big twist
Step 6. Pin this in place until it feels comfortable and secure. It doens't matter if it's messy, that adds to the texture and modern look. If you hair is long it'll be bulky like mine is but a beehive is bulky so that's ok!
Step 7. Unpin the front section and taking small sections at a time, add some thickening powder and back-comb your hair (remember to backcomb gently). Add as much volume as you like... I like lots!
Step 8. Pull back all the back-combed sections into a ponytail and check it's all smooth
Step 9. Roll the ends round your fingers so they are tucked under the back-combed section and pin in place
Check from the back, and your hair should look something like this
Add a hair band, sweep your fringe back or have your fringe in place. There you go, a simple beehive hair style.
