How To: Contemporary Victorian Hairstyle (Inspired by American Horror Story)

Equipment:
Paddle Brush
Tail comb 
Curling Tongs
Hair Grips

Step by Step:

1. Using your tail comb, put the hair into a side parting, making sure there is lift at the root. 
2. At the front on the side of the parting, take two one inch sections, about the width of the curling iron and curl them all away from the parting. Do the same to the other side but with three one inch sections.
3. Secure these with hair grips.
4. Take the section just behind the front curls, with a width of about three curls (three inches) and curl it horizontally and downwards. 
5. Below that take a section about six inches wide and split into tow and curl both sides. 
6. Using three inch wide sections, now curl the rest of the way down in the middle of the head. 
7. With the hair left at either side, take sections and curl towards the face, securing all with hair grips. 

Creating an Up Do 
8. After the curls have cooled, remove the hair grips but leave the five main at the front. 
9. Brush through the curls to loosen them.
10. Trying to hide the grips as much as possible, pin the curls to the bottom of the hair.
11. make sure the hair looks like it has some lift by using the tail comb.
12. Take the grips out of the hair in the front, creating a wave against the head. Then pin in place.

Down Do
8. Take all of the hair out of the grips after the hairs cooled. Using an over and under motion, smooth the curls with a paddle brush. 
9. On the front sections of both sides of the partings, push the hair so it goes back and then curls back on itself.
10. Make the hair fall where you like, making the curls in the same direction clump together. 
11. back comb the roots for extra volume.

12. To finish off the look add a bit of shine spray.
