How to make an Edwardian updo

[modernwizard]

This tutorial on how to make a late-Victorian pompadour, created for 1:12 dolls, looks perfectly adaptable to my method of gluing 1:6 hair on people's heads, if only I can figure out what's going on in the step where she turns the doll upside-down.

If this works, I can take that horrible bun off of Leonora's head and replace it with something more realistic.

Ok so you glue these sections down then you turn the doll upside down and use a tooth pick to "blend "the sections of hair together. That way it doesn't look like neat strips of hair . You just sorta brush thru the strands with the toothpic and it causes strip A ad strip B to lightly tangle together .

Ooooooh, thanks...that makes sense. I thought she was doing some magic to create the pouffy pompadour... She's just, like you said, blending the swatches of hair so they don't have distinct borders.
