Step-by-step: Amy Winehouse Beehive
Learnxtra.com

Quotes by Akin Konizi, International Creative Director of hob salons says:

There are different ways of achieving Amy’s iconic beehive. If you are brave enough and want to go for the full Amy experience, the best option is to place a hair piece on your head to create the beehive. Buy crepe hair and mould into a ball. Place it in a fine hair net and secure onto the head. Otherwise use your own hair to create a less exaggerated version of it.

Step 1:
Using hair that has been washed a few days previous to give it pliability and texture, section off the fringe to frame the face.

Step 2:
Leaving the underneath section of the hair down, and just working with the crown area, back comb from roots to ends to create lots of volume, body and fullness.

Step 3:
Begin building your shape by taking the root lifted hair on the right hand side of the head and smoothing it over, guide it round to the back of the crown and secure with Kirby grips. If you have used a piece to create a bigger beehive, then build the shape around the hair piece.


Step 4:
Working with the opposite side of the head, smooth this section round and tuck the hair inwards to give a folded look. Place Kirby grips into the pleat to secure the look.

Step 5:
Finally, complete the look by moulding in the remaining hair at the top, back towards the crown, working it to the desired height you feel comfortable wearing. Once again, secure this neatly into the pleat.

Step 6:
Spray the hair with Wella Professionals High Hair Finishing Spray to give ultimate hold whilst ensuring the style stays intact.
