Here's one of the back part of my hair. The flash made the bobby pins very obvious.
























For the hair, I basically followed the technique as demonstrated by Iris in her youtube video. I took a section of hair from the front of my head (the part of the hair that would be bangs if I had bangs) and twisted & rolled it up into a big curl & bobby-pinned it in place on top of my head. I did the same with 2 more sections of hair from the right & left sides of my head. Once the curls were pinned in place, I made spit curls out of the whispy baby hairs that grow right by my ears (you know, the ones that never stay in place and stick straight out to the side at random). I took all the little whispies & wet them with gel, formed them into curls and plastered them to my cheeks with hairspray. I sprayed the h/s directly on my finger and patted it onto the curl, which cemented it to my cheek. I even put in my fake red rose.
