A while ago Celeste came to visit and we decided to have some fun and experiment with various fun hair styles and make up 😀 Celeste had never tried big hime style hair before so I thought I would use her as a life sized doll and play with her hair. We made a quick little video showing the steps. I thought I would post it because I often get questions about my hair. While I’ve done tutorials in the past this might be useful as you can see a bit of detail and how quick it is to create.
That and you can enjoy giggling at us as we go. The audio was no good but if you can imagine this conversation in the background you’re pretty much set…
Violet: *does hair*
Celeste: :O it’s huge!
Violet: Bigger the better 😀
Celeste: *trying very hard to muffle juvenile laughter*
Violet: Ahahahahaha bigger the better, I get it!
Celeste: *Sends photos to room mate*
Roommate: ZOMG SQUID HEAD!!
Celeste: -_-‘
Violet: *snicker snicker snicker*
And much laughter was had all around.
So hope that was a little useful ^_^ We did a couple of other styles which I will posts too. Next time we do something like this I’ll have a new lighting set up so everything will be nicer quality yay!
This video was created for my blog as a simple way to show how I usually do my hair for a hime gyaru style. The model for the day was Celeste from Becoming Beautiful.

Today on Violet Vision. Easy hime style hair.
You need bobby pins, teasing comb, hair spray and bow.s
The finished look.
Start by brushing your hair.
Take a once inche section at the front from ear to ear and clip to the side.
Pull up and tease into a gigantic puff.
To tease, drap the comb from the tips to the root of the hair so it scrunches in on itself.
And tease it some more.
Grab the puff in your hand and shape it into a ball by rolling backwards.
Pin it in place at the base.
Spray and smooth over into shape with your hands.
Unclip the front section.
and split it into 3 sections: left, center, right.
Lightly tease it on the back side.
Brush through the front side.
Pin it in place at the base of the puff.
Spray and tease the back.
Brush the front and pull up, back over the puff and across the opposite side.
Pin in place once at the base of the puff and once at the top/back.
Repeat on the other side.
Brush up, spray, tease the back.
Brush the front, lay over the puff and pin to the opposite side.
Spray all over to secure.
Now is a good time for progress photos.
Use curling tongs or a straightener to create loose curls all over the rest of the hair.
This might take a while.
Separate the curls with your fingers and comb near the roots.
Tease the roots to give it volume and less of a perfect feel.
Repeat on the other side.
Fluff out the curls and give everything a spray.
If you need to just add more pins.
And a pretty bow.
Send photos to your friends so they can giggle at your transformation.

Thanks for watching.
I’ve been tackling a couple of really large involved work video projects this last week so to try and relax at night I’ve taken to drawing again. I decided to try something I haven’t done too much of before: vectors
And this was the first result. I drew a paper version of this years ago which I used as a base ^_^
I’m kind of addicted now 😀 Hope you’re all having an awesome weekend, it’s back to work for me until this project is all finished! Once it is though I am going to have a gigantic photo taking/tutorial making spree, I’m really looking forward to that!!
