Something I do from time to time, inspired by the Rapunzel site:
Take the top half of my hair and twist it into a rope as if I were going
to do a bun. But instead of putting all the hair in one tight knot, I
wrap it around in a gradually bigger spiral on top of my head. Pin like
crazy with all the pins pointing toward the center and tuck the end
under. Take the bottom half and split it into half vertically. Twist and
wrap it up and around the spiral, increasing the size of the original.
Keep pinning like mad. Finally, take the last section, twist, and wrap
in the same direction as the second hank of hair. Keep pinning and
tucking under the end. I use about 25-30 pins for this. Mine is mid-back
length, coarse and curly. You may need more or less depending on your
hair type and length. I get compliments on this about how amazing,
pretty, complicated, and old-fashioned it looks every time I do it.

Wow, that's an amazing site!
Too bad most of them are really too complicated to do in the morning... I'll
really have to get dressed quickly... I'll be sure to steal some of her
tricks though :-)
Thank you!

Good afternoon,
I'm putting the finishing touches on my Halloween costume - actually, a
dress from various Truly Victorian patterns.
I need ideas about what to do with my hair. It's long and very straight.
I need something easy that I can do relatively quickly in the morning. It
doesn't need to be historical, I'm already planning on makeup that won't be
historical, but I'd still like something that keeps in with the style of
the
period.
Any ideas? References? Pictures? Techniques? I'm all ears...
Thank you!
Audrey
