Helena Bonham Carter


THE gorgeously gothic Helena Bonham Carter mirrored her royal role with a stately 'up do' at the premier of The King's Speech.

• Firstly curl all of your hair, using tongs or straighteners. It's better to get a tighter curl to allow it to drop. • Spray with a firm hold gel or hairspray (Revlon Pro You Extreme Hairspray) and allow to dry. You can be flexible with this style, pin up as much or as little as you like. • Start at the crown, section a one inch piece of hair and pin. It's a good idea to pin half way down the strand to allow a 'tumble' look.

• Continue around the crown of your head, leaving enough at the back.

• For that extra bit of gothic bohemian look, I suggest loosely plaiting the front section of your hair and pin to the back.

• You can add the twist in crystals or even stick on gems (Tooth Fairy Hair Gems)

• Pull as many, or few, tendrils around your face as you want.
