Rapunzel, Rapunzel...

I posted part of this to the wedding hair board on this site, and I hope I`m not breaking any rules by posting the relevant long-hair part of my message here...

I just bought a magazine yesterday called Bridal Star Hairstyles, celebrity hairstyles special #28 (Harris Publications)... I`m not getting married, but I fell in love with the Rapunzel hairstyle featured on page 20 of this magazine. The woman in the picture has defined curly waist-length hair, and this is EXACTLY the hairstyle that I`ve been trying to explain to anyone who will listen... this is my dream style, but right now my hair is only bra-strap length, and nowhere near as curly.

This Rapunzel style is a mass of volumous curls, not too tight, not too loose, but perfect. They got the style by twisting sections of hair and setting them diagonally on medium Caruso rollers. Then it says to remove the rollers, separate each section into 4 pieces and work polish (?) through each one. Twist the front section up and back, pin in place, and create a crown of baby`s breath by knotting the flowers through the hair`s length. (The front pic shows a little "crown" effect of baby`s breath, while the back pic shows sprigs of baby`s breath placed here and there within the curls themselves.) I can do w/out the baby`s breath for everyday wear, but those curls with that length is why I`m on this board! :)

There are other pics of celebs with long hair, not as long as waist, but there`s lots of ideas on how to incorporate all different types of veils, flowers, tiaras, etc. into wedding hairstyles, in case anyone on this long-hair support list is in need of wedding hair anytime soon.

This magazine should still be on display... there`s no date on it, and the masthead says it`s published 2x a year @ $3.95 a copy. I can`t find them online, though. This issue has a huge pic of Days of Our Lives star Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady) on the cover, if that helps to locate it.

P.S. - On pg. 5, there`s a sidebar box that features the Top 10 Bridal Hair websites, and www.hairboutique.com is on the list!!
