The (Much Anticipated) FINAL ‘Hairstyling with NuMe’ Tutorial!

June 3, 2014 Katie Marie 23 Comments

Yes! It’s finally here! I am so sorry that this post took over a month after my marriage, but…I won’t bore you with excuses. I promise you, though, I’ve been keeping super busy moving into our new home and settling on the other side of the United States with my new hubby. 😀

There’s going to be a lot of information in this post, so let’s just get right in with the final ‘Hairstyling with NuMe’ post!

Wedding Hairstyle Tutorial

First off, before we get into the fun information, let’s talk about my wedding hair. As those of you who’ve been following my blog for a while know, I styled my own hair for my wedding using the NuMe Titan3 curling wand set. And it turned out FABULOUS! So here’s how I did it. 🙂

Step 1: Curl!

As always, I like to start with curling my hair so that I have a lot of body in my style when I pin my hair up. 🙂 I used the smallest barrel out of the Titan3 set and it worked wonders at giving my awesome, long-lasting curls!

Step 2: Braid the Right Side & Pin

Okay, so what I wanted to do was combine both braids and twists into this curly hairstyle. So I decided to do a french braid starting near the front, right hairline and adding hair all the way back until I got just past my ear. From there, I just continued with a regular braid until I was almost at the end.

Then I laid my braid back against my hair and pinned it in place. I made sure to taper of the braid just before I got to the left side. Don’t worry about securing the braid with a pin — just leave it loose. We will cover the braid over with a curl in the next steps so it all looks very seamless. 🙂

Step 3: Twist Back the Left Side & Pin

Okay, so for the left side, I took the chunk of hair from my front hairline back to my ear and twisted it really tightly and distinctly against my head. Nothing special, at all, just try to make the twist really obvious and stand out. Pin it in place as you go.

Continue twisting your hair back until you overlap the braid that you pinned in the back. I twisted it till I reached about the middle of my head, then continue to place pins wherever I felt it needed more support.

Step 4: Tie on Your Pearls

Okay, so first off, let me explain how I made these. They are nothing pretty, and you could probably find them online already made for you, but since I had an old pearl headband that was falling apart…I decided to save the pennies and make them. All I did was use black string to tie the pearls onto a small elastic black band (like the kinda you can get at Sally’s Beauty Supply). Prest-o — you’re very own pearl ties. 🙂

Now is when you can let your creativity show! Just start tying those pearls sporadically throughout the hairstyle. My mother’s wedding dress had pearls on the front, and I really wanted my hairstyle to look like it had sprinkles of pearls throughout — almost like pearls were just magically floating. 😀

 

Step 5: Add Random Braids

I wanted more braids in the hairstyle, so what I did was randomly go around my head and add really small, thin braids. I secure these (of course) with the pearl elastic rubber bands and twisted them around the curling wand for a few seconds so that the braids blend easily into the curls.

Add as many or as few as you want — I think I did about 5 or 6. Whatever you’re feeling and however obvious you want it to be. Just make it our own!

AND YOUR DONE!

And you’re done! This is how it looks!!!!

Also, something I added right before the wedding, was to buy some pins that had pearls on the end and I slide them into my hairstyle along the twist and braid. So it kind of gave me a pearly crown on my wedding day, as you can see from this picture below 🙂

I hope y’all enjoyed this tutorial. And when I do my post on my wedding, I’ll be sure to add more pictures of my hair. NuMe’s Titan3 did an OUTSTANDING job at keeping my curls fresh. I did my hair at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, and at 8 PM — when we finally headed to the honeymoon — they all still looked awesome. The picture you see of me above was at least 6 hours from when I originally curled them — and they look awesome! I didn’t need to re-curl any strands at all throughout the day. Loved it!

    Thanks for sharing how you did this! I will have to try it sometime.

    I am impressed that you did your own hair for your wedding! Such talent. 🙂 You look beautiful in your wedding dress.

    I have naturally straight hair and do not need to straighten it if I just let it dry. However, it curls and holds curls really well without hairspray — it just takes a while to curl my hair so I do not curl it all the time. I enjoy trying new hairstyles on my sister and then attempting to do them on myself. It's just so much harder to do an undo or a more complicated hairstyle to yourself. At least I have trouble anyway.

    Oh how beautiful! You have lovely hair. I like that you left it down – I prefer that on a bride opposed to putting it all up under the veil. 😉 Looking forward to seeing wedding pics!!

    I like to style it straight in general and curly for special occasions. Curly always seems like it takes longer to get right.

    Pretty neat idea of using the pearls on elastic bands instead of pins… It is verry innovative !!!

    This time of year I like to wear ponytails or messy buns–it is just too hot to have hair on the neck.

    I usually wear it in a pony tail but decided to cut off 7inches this summer and bob it which I'm loving and usually wear straight. Wish I knew how to use those curling rods more, curls are never something I know how to rock

    I like the way my hair looks when I've styled it to wear down with curls but not tight curls but I've worn it up so much that I can't stand to wear it down for long especially in the warm/hot months.
