I decided to change up the way I do these hair tutorials, so I present you with sketches! I would love feedback on this style of hair tutorials, so I know what you guys like for future tutorials.
Please forgive me as I probably more or less butchered this lovely look :P My hair wasn't in prime condition and I took the pictures late at night... But trust me this is a very doable hairstyle.
Brush your hair free of tangles.
Section the front of your hair into 3 sections, and begin french braid on each. Switch to normal braiding once you reach the crown of your head (hope you understand this part, it's less tricky if you reference the original picture at the top of this post).
Once you have your 3 braids, roll them like the step 5 indicates (the two on the sides should actually be rolled towards the middle. Secure the 3 rolls with bobby pins.
Notice how Huang Rong has braids hanging down both sides of her hairdo, so I made two braids.
An optional step is to accessorize! HR seems to like flower accessories, so I placed two flower pins to one side of my hair. You can get flower pins at Forever 21 or H&M for less than 3 USD.

ReplyDeleteOMG THIS IS SO DAMN AMAZINGGGG! I LOVE THISSSS SO MUCH <33333333333333333333 AHHHHH I could die in happiness someone made a tutorial for HR's hair!! I simply love it. WHOA you really did it so accurately!
woowowwww sorry i'm over excited lol! The pics you took of your hair really looks amazing here, I should try it one day, I wish i had huangrong's outfit! Thanks also for your Taobao comment! Good thing is, there's cosplay outfits for almost every single show you can find! It would be really cool to dress up as Huang Rong! I just wish more people knew about her, so they'd appreciate the cosplay!
Aww thank you for the sweet comment!! You definitely have to try this, it's actually one of the few ancient chinese series hairdos that are wearable (no need of extraneous hairpieces). IT would be awesome to have her outfit haha
DeleteOhh btw, would it be possible to expand on how to do french braids? I've never done it before and don't really know how.
DeleteYes you're so right, it's really easy to find the flower pins!
I just absolutely LOVE this tutorial! You did the drawing sooooo wonderfully too!
Can I share this on ancientchinese.net blog? I'll put a link to your website on the top so more people can visit your page! I really want people to know about your awesome blog!!!!
Oh cool I actually already planned to demostrate the french braid in an upcoming tutorial (will shall be up soon), so I'd be happy to show you :)
DeleteYes, of course you can share this! Man, I am so honored haha.
YAYYY I can't wait to see the french braiding tutorial! Then I shall try out the hairstyle. I hope I can still do it with my sort of short hair (which I regret cutting now LOL!!!)
DeleteIs there other ancient hairstyles you plan to make a tutorial for in the future?
And OMG THANKS SO MUCH!!! I shall post it up when the french braid tutorial is up so I can put it together :D
Do you have shoulder length hair? Because if so, my french braid tutorial would be perfect for you, since it's a tuck-in french braid! You'll see what i mean once the tutorial is up.
DeleteYeah, definitely going to have other ancient hairdos, but those will probabaly have to wait because i want to make modern hairstyles too lol, as for ancient hairstyles, so far I'm looking into Chinese Paladin 1 styles ;)
Yep my hair goes down to my shoulders! I can't wait to try a french braid! I remember I used to always wonder how to do that.
DeleteYAY modern hairstyles would be awesome too! I'll totally try some of them out.
There's one I really hope you'll do, it's one of my fav hairstyles all time, the young Zixuan one where her hair is down with bangs.
Here's a pic: http://www.ancientchinese.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/Chinese_Paladin_3_Episode_17_Recap_012.jpg
Although I think that requires a few more accessories.
Sweet the braid tutorial shall be up sometime this week!
DeleteI was actually contemplating about doing Zixuan's hairstyle but I have no idea what the back looks like haha. Do you happen to have a picture of it? I really love Linger and YueRu's hairstyles - I am planning to start on those soon - what do you think?
I'm just downloading some screenshots now so I will look through them and see if I can find a back picture!
DeleteOMG I love Ling'er and YueRu's hairstyles too!! I would absolutely LOVE if you do those tutorials!! Do you need pics for those? Unfortuately I haven't found HQ pics past ep 2. I can look more on baidu, if you have an episode in mind, let me know cos I'd love to help with picture hunting :D hehe! It's so much funnn!
I'm so drawn to your illustrations! I think I'm a klutz when it comes to styling my hair. I find this very complicated but no, it has nothing to do with your pictures at all. I love your drawings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comments! I'll definitely do more tutorials with this style :) My next tutorials I have planned are going to be much easier and simpler than this one, please keep an eye out for them! xoxo
