Princess Belle is one of the most popular Disney princesses. Her signature hairstyle is a classic, elegant updo with a low bun and a side-swept fringe. This tutorial will show you step-by-step how to achieve her iconic hairstyle in just a few simple steps.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following tools on hand: a comb, hairpins, hair elastics, a hairbrush, and some hairspray. You may also want to use some heat protectant spray and a curling iron or straightener to prepare your hair.
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles or knots. Then, apply some heat protectant spray, especially if you plan on using any heat styling tools. This will protect your hair from damage and keep it looking healthy.
Step 2: Create a Part
Using your comb, create a deep side part on one side of your head. This will give your hair some volume and add more depth to your hairstyle.
Step 3: Curl or Straighten Your Hair
Depending on your hair type, you may need to use a curling iron or straightener to create some loose waves or add some texture to your hair. Take small sections of your hair and wrap them around the barrel of your curling iron to create loose curls. Alternatively, you can use a straightener to add some subtle waves and texture.
Step 4: Gather Your Hair
Using your fingers or a comb, gather all of your hair towards the nape of your neck. Make sure you leave out a few strands from the front section that will later be used to create the side-swept fringe.
Step 5: Create a Low Ponytail
Once you have gathered all of your hair, create a low ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic. Make sure the ponytail is tight and secure.
Step 6: Create a Bun
Using your fingers, twist the ponytail around itself to create a bun. Then, wrap the hair elastic around the bun and secure it in place with some hairpins.
Step 7: Secure the Fringe
Now, it’s time to create that famous side-swept fringe that Princess Belle is known for. Take the strands of hair you left out earlier, and sweep them to one side of your head. Secure the fringe in place with a few hairpins.
Step 8: Add Some Finishing Touches
Finally, add some hairspray to keep your hairstyle in place all day long. You may also want to add some decorative hairpins or a ribbon to give your hairstyle a more royal touch.
