Does anyone know how to do the Gibson Girl Hairstyle. I would like to replicate it on me but I don`t know how the back is done as I`ve never seen it close-up.

Thank you.....

I actually wore my hair in a Gibson Girl for my wedding! We won`t mention it was back in the 1980s....! I`m sure there are different ways to achieve it, and this is hardly the "healthiest" way, but I needed my hair to stay in place for quite awhile, obviously! My hair is fine, so my stylist back-combed it (yes, I hear your gasps!) quite a bit. However, there may be "inserts" that can be placed under the hair for fullness. I think the basic concept is that it should not be pulled "tight," yet it must be secure enough to stay up -- not necessarily an easy combination! Fortunately, I had several little wisps of hair on the sides and back which really adds to the effect, so set those little hairs loose!
