Frozen

Went to see the Disney film, Frozen, today. The girls loved it. I did as well, especially the hairstyles in the film. So, when we got home we tried to recreate some of the hairstyles.

My oldest daughter’s hair is just like Elsa’s in the film, so we tried the two Elsa-styles. I was going to do the Anna-styles on my 5-year old, but she was not in the mood for braiding… maybe another day.

Elsa's 2 hairdos from Disney's Frozen

First, we did the coronation hairdo on the right. I made it by twisting the hair at the front and twisting all the hair into a bun, and attaching with bobby pins. I thought it turned out quite well, but I don’t think it would last very long at all on a child.

Luckily my daughter wanted to try the other braid straight away, so we didn’t have to wait and see how durable the bun was. The second hairdo (on the left) involved a lot of back-combing for volume, and a loose french braid. She really loved the hairdo and wants to wear it for skiing tomorrow, I don’t think I need to post a picture of it after a day of wearing a ski-helmet, you can probably all imagine it!

And for those of you who are not up to scratch with your Disney films, here’s a picture of the two hairdos in the film:

    I don’t think I can do a tutorial soon, as I need someone to film me, kids on a good mood, good daylight etc. etc. (I find filming tutorials quite difficult). But I’ll do a little search I’m sure there are tutorials for these somewhere. 🙂

    OK… I found a tutorial for the Elsa french braid from Cute Girls Hairstyles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7No-S07VaNc
    This is almost exactly what I did, but I didn’t use any product in mine (and I don’t have that smoothing comb).

    And a tutorial for the coronation hair by Hair 4 my Princess:

    I did it a bit differently:
    – I started the first twist quite near the right ear and twisted as much hair as possible and kept it quite tight, because twists always become loose on their own.
    – I also twisted the large section of hair at the back towards the front before wrapping the other twist around…

    Hope that helps!!
    And check out the YouTube accounts of CGH and Hair4myprincess, they are both great for tutorials!!

    Ahw, thank you so much!! We’ve been listening the sound track today, and one of the girls was still singing the songs when she was in her bed, trying to get to sleep 🙂
