Replicant hair

October 31, 2008 1:11 AM

My girlfriend wants to dress as Rachel from 'Blade runner' but she has no idea how to do her hair like her. I remember a link somewhere showing how to do it but now i can't find it. I've googled extensively and found nothing ... can anyone help ?

In case the link doesn't turn up, here is a link on "1940's updos" which is basically what Rachel is rocking. Should be able to modify some of the moves in this howto.

Try looking for "Rockabilly Hairstyles," "Pin Up," or "Victory Rolls" to get an idea of how to roll hair in a shape and then pin it with lots of bobby pins. This girl doesn't do Rachel exactly but her videos are good at showing how to roll hair.
