Slowly growing my hair back out into the length of your's. Chopped all of it off a few years ago and it takes forever to grow out! Love the style, definitely reminds me of Ren Fair!
wow, thank god for your uploads , especially referencing the weight issue of long hair, now i just need to not be so lazy, i keep watching all your videos, loving them and then imagining taking them all out before bed, and oh gawd...... great work , and such a nice fun host.....thanks
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I don't usaully write, but you have such a great attitude, unbecoming personality and very clear explanation of what you are doing. I hope you continue with you videos. I may need a few more inches to pull this off but I am going to try!
I used to have really long hair and also did historical re-enactment. This was one of my favorite ways to wear my hair for demos and I was constantly asked if it was my real hair. People seriously thought it was a hair piece because of the ribbon, but of course I couldn't exactly take it down to show them. :-) Watching your hair vids is making me want to grow my hair out again.
I was able to to do this with a co-workers hair that was just below shoulder length and I used clip in flowers to hide the tails of the braids. She wore it to her mother's Easter party and got lots of compliments! This was a great tutorial!
Wow. You make all of these hairstyles look so simple and easy to do. I will have to say that this is one of my hairstyles although my hair is not long enough to wear like that. Thanks for posting this video.
In addition to your lovely hair, the great ideas for hair-do's, and the simple, easy-to-follow instructions, I really like your bathroom. It's such a cool color. :D
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I was getting annoyed with my extra long hair and the boring 3 strand braid. Was thinking of a haircut, but now thanks to you I found many other hair-dos.
Torrin, you are the reason I can do anything with my nearly knee length hair. I have learned so much from you and now I feel like my hair is a canvas with which to create wearable art. Thank you!
thank you for posting this! as someone with truly long hair (not the foot long "long" hair they have in hair magazines), it's so difficult to find hairstyles for it! this is beautiful and i'll definitely be trying it as well as watching the rest of your videos. thank you!
Wow, wow, wow! That is GORGEOUS! I'm going to get my girly group together to watch it. = ) Thank you so much for posting these informative videos! For year I've longed to find someone who could teach me hair dos! How amazing to have one in my own home via RUclips!
This is an awesome idea, my hair is nearly waist length, and you're so right--you can get headaches from just the weight of a ponytail! I thought I was just making it up. My hair's a bit too short for this do, but as soon as it's long enough I'll definitely try it! Thanks!
YAY for all your hair videos, I am doing my own hair for an opera, set in Vienna in early 20's and was CLUELESS as to what to do, this gives me some good ideas
hey torrin, im most definatley trying this one, im obsessed with period type hairstyles, and i have very long hair (about mid-thigh) and im sick of just having to do the normal briad every day. so this will be awesome, and i have come up with my own creations with rope braiding, and four strand braids as well...all thanks to you :D so here's a major hug from me *hug* and a big thanks, i love your videos, your the best teacher for hairstyles for us long haired girls, on the net - liz
I hope to one day have hair long enough to do this. I've never thought of using a needle on hair and doing hairstyles with ribbon has always been beyond me. Great tutorial.
Wow! Just stumbled onto the LHC forum and followed your link over. Have never heard of hair taping, though I used to experiment with ribbons but just as decoration. Looking forward to trying this. Pins give me such terrible headaches - but I need some updo options to stop my baby pulling my hair out! You have such lovely hair!
Oh my goodness, this is absolutely beautiful, and you make it look so EASY! My hair is just to my waist, although it's pretty thick. I may have to try this out, it just looks so pretty!!
hi torrin, it was a very beautiful hairdo.please post lots of braid styles coz in hospital i cant make fancy updo's n im in need of many braided styles.u r my style guru.
My mother use to do this hairstyle to me when i was younger, to keep my hair up and out of my way. I remember going to school and having people ask how my weaved the ribbon in. This was such an awesome tutorial!
Hey Torrin, for many years I could never get my hair taping to stay due to the slipperyness of it, after trying hemp cord, and wool yarn, both work wonderfully and stay with pins or headaches!!
This is so great! I have very long hair too and I get tired of certain updos very quickly. Ive tried doing something similar to this before but I never thought of the ribbon! That would make all the difference. Experience surely knows best. And this doesn't take long to do either. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! that is just plain beautiful and I am definitely intrigued. I really want to try it in my hair to see if it will work. the thing is, I have 60 inch, 4.7 inch thick hair. I know EXACTLY what it's like to get headaches every updo, and, since I can't find many updos that are easy enough to whip up, I end up with a plain old bun at the back of the head--which gives me a headache 9 out of 10 times. :D I believe this is the next hairstyle for me to try. :D Love the tutorial!
I go under the braids and get some scalp hair -otherwise they wouldn't stay. The ribbon just goes around the braids, not through. When I do a faux crown and tape it, I do end up going through the base of the Dutch braid that I start with and it seems to be pretty secure that way.
Thanks so much for making this vid! It's taken me a long time to get the hang of it, and I'll let you know how I've tweaked it a little. I have mid-thigh hair. I use one hairtie on the end of the braid. I use one braid and wrap it all the way around and back on itself. That thin ribbon is essential. I leave an end hanging and tie it in a bow right at the other end. Peace :)
This was one of the first videos of yours I ever saw (about three years ago now!) and when I saw it I was so jealous because my hair was nowhere near long enough to do it. Today it suddenly popped into my head that surely my hair is long enough now (past tailbone) and oh yes, it is! I need a little more practice to get the braids positioned right and the ribbon looking neat but I'm so happy to have reached a hair milestone like this!
I love this! I have been trying to figure out what to do with my long, stick-straight fine hair. Even pins slide out of it...so sewing seems to be the best option! This is perfect!
I've been watching Janet Stephens' videos on ancient hairstyles and they actually used wool yarn that matched their hair color and sewed the hair styles very similar to what you show in this video. I loved the pretty ribbons in your hair though!
@torrinpaige Hi Torrin! I love your videos and this one too! This is a unique technique, I think. Does the use of a needle for hairstyling have a historical basis? If you know, please, tell me! Thanks and best regards!
I did this today thanks very much to you! I love it, my hair is...mid back I'd say it's just barely long enough. It ends up so my braids are thinner but that suits me. You're hair is gorgeous and I love your vids! :o)
TORRIN !!!!!!!!!!!! Yay someone who has hair just like mine & LOVES it !!! :) I've been trying to find someone who has hair like mine , same length , thickness & texture who could do all kinds of hairstlyes. I've had my hair waist length (straight cut on the bottom just like yours) since I was 16, I'm 25 now. I'm a Civil War & Victorian re-enactor & can't seem to get my hair to stay up from the weight. I am SO excited to try your styles !!! Tired of braids.Thanks so much for all your videos :)
I'll have to try this on my daughter's hair. Wearing her hair down is almost impossible since she has P.E. in the middle of the day at school. She complains of headaches if in a side pony tail. Thanks!
Hey Torrin! I'm not sure if you've seen this (you might have already), but I think Scunci caught on to this great look :) They now sell a "design weaver" kit that comes with a little needle-like tool and some fabric to weave through a hairstyle. I immediately thought of you when I saw this and I ended up buying it. I had planned on buying the yarn needle you'd suggested anyways and since this kit was just right there at CVS I just went for it. I can't wait to try this look :)
i saw this video a while back and ive been trying to grow my hair since, its gotten the longest ive ever had it and its still growing! i cant wait to do this with my hair!
I have been wearing my hair up like this (maybe as often as once a month, or a little less) since I saw this vid. I did change it up a bit, by doing 2 french braids, then the hair taping. I have STRAIGHT hair and it's pretty fine, so the extra braid gives the ribbon something to anchor to - no slipping. And it looks nice with the braid underneath. I think next time I'll try 2 dutch braids. Maybe I'll send a picture. I'm finally to "classic" length! :) Love all of your vids!
My Spanish is atrocious. Um the gist of moyole's message is that she cut her hair very short recently, but luckily it grows fast, and with the help of Rosemary oil it will be pretty like mine? Am I close? Can I get some help from my bi-lingual people? My Spanish teacher would be ashamed. Two years of Spanish and I can barely order food properly. (In my defense that was *cough* 18 years ago.)
If you don't mind, I think I'll pat myself on the back for that. LOL. That was my goal starting out, to prove to all the long haired gals out there that we can do almost anything with our hair and long hair gives so many more options than our short haired sisters. You are welcome and I'm so glad that I've been able to help!
I tried this tonight with just-shy-of-hip hair. It was clearly not quite long enough, but I managed a braid further back. Once difference -- I pulled my ribbon through with a crochet hook. It happened to be on hand and it worked GREAT. I didn't do an awesome job with matching my two sides but overall I think it looks cute.
@jbb556 I used a regular two-strand rope braid, but you can use any kind you'd like, or none at all. You can just twist it and clip it, then sew it in. That might work if you feel your hair is just a bit short to be braided...as braids tend to eat length.
How does this compare with a braided crown for comfort? You mention it as distributing the weight of your hair, and that's what I like about crowns. Additionally, do you have any plans to do a video showing how to do a crown? I would like having some more ideas of how to do it.
I saw a version of that style where someone made a couple of thin braids and kept them off to the side, and when they were finished taping, they would take the side small braids and bring them up and over to the other side, and do a sort of weaving effect with them. Like a fancy hairnet using your own hair! You should try it that way. That same weaving effect is used to make buns look more fancier.
I love putting ribbons through my hair and I love braids, so this video made me so happy!!! x3 I'm definitely going to want to try this. It looks so pretty, and your hair is amazing!
First I love this hairstyle! It keeps me from getting headaches and I was getting three or four a week, the only thing I've done different is wear my hair up like this! But I have a question. I can't get the clips to grip onto the braids tight enough, the braids slide & end up with a poof in the back where the braids start, they also slide after a while on my head when sown. I've tried sewing half-stitches through them, and then around too. Any other suggestions on how to keep them in place?
Wow, fabulous! I had hip length hair a few years ago and stupidly cut it off. I've now started growing it out again (currently about APL) and I can't wait until it's long enough to do styles like this. I never used to bother with fancy braids last time it was long, I mostly just had it in a pony tail. Sooooo gonna try this once it's a little longer :D
they just used ribbons..no elastic hair ties. I use elastic as I'm doing it myself and it's just easier. So, they just tied it off with ribbon and did it pretty much the same. Of course, their needles weren't plastic, but I figure they probably had needles specifically for this hairstyle.
I made my own sewing needle with a big enough whole to fit a big ribbion in. I have already tried it out and like all things new it took some time to get it right but it dose work. If you want me to tell you how just let me know. I love all your hair styles for long hair.
Wow, that's beautiful! I've always had a terrible time getting my long hair to stay up. Such a great idea! Thank you for posting this tutorial. By the way, your hair is gorgeous.
My hair is to the back of my knees and I was wondering when doing this, do you put the ribbon through the hair under the braids or work it through them finishing at with some of the hair at the back of them? It's hard to tell in the video if your just going under them or a mixture of under and through. Love the hairstyle will totally try it because there is hardly anything new I can do to my hair to make it look new and gorgeous with how long it is.
im curious I'm picking up a sound with my head phones do you have a small dog that was trying to get you to open the door I kept hearing what sound like scratching
+lokigotya68 As this was seven years ago, I'm guessing that was my Brutus - he was a mini Schnauzer. It was probably him trucking up and down the hallway.
@RepublicTX This information is much appreciated! I stopped blow drying my hair over 5 years ago, I curl my hair maybe 4 times a year and straighten my hair about 6-8 times annually. If I do, I use heat protectant spray but tbh I swear they never work. Still, the amount of times I apply heat appliances to my hair is very rare, so that shouldn't be my issue. I guess I need to get my hair trimmed a little more often and my nutrician in check which is difficult being a full time student. Thankyou x
One thing I thought of to make this more period for your viewers who go to the Ren Faires. If they have period ribbon they could tie their ends off with ribbons and then just use period ribbon to sew their hair. I think many of the ladies who go to Ren faires could find some period ribbon to use for this.Also, since I don't have ribbon but have an excess of yarn from various knitting projects, do you think this would work with yarn? I plan to try it I just wondered what your thoughts were.
What a great idea!!!!! I had always had long long long hair until after I got married and decided to cut it short for the first time .... of all that time I would have never thought to use a needle!!! =)
OMG! I love your hair! I'm so jealous of its length and texture! It's all shiny and healthy! Can you give me some advice on growing my hair please? I'm Asian and have straight hair, but they never seem healthy when I grow them long =( Thank you so much! And love your tutorials!
oh my gosh that is awesome! my hair is about 6 inches away from being that long...i just cant wait until it is, that is my goal. she has such pretty hair, even in the one where its not blow dried and she says that its not nice, its still beautiful! i wonder what hair care products she uses???
Oh the dreaded midday PE class. I've found this hairstyle to be really comfortable and very secure. I hope you have success and she finds that she likes it. Good luck!
I understand your pain my hair is a little over waist length and it's a ton of work and some days it impossible to have my hair down but I won't change it.
great videos! i tried this style, my hair is about the same length as yours but i think mine is thinner, so when i did this i had a lot of problems with frizzies! I have tries a leave in conditioner to make it stick a little but dosn't quite work - any suggestions?
It looks really beautiful, I just don't like the bit where you can see the ponytail. I'd try to frenchbraid my hair on the head, then part it into two and continue like in the video, so I don't need to use a rubber band.
Having that extra anchor does really help my girls with silky hair. I even employed it into my Faux Crown braid and I have found that having an extra anchor really makes it more stable. :o)
I love it but there's no way I'll get hair this long so I am thinking of getting a long wig and do it and hope maybe you can take it off taped and not have to redo it anytime soon. Here in Holland we sadly don't have RenFaires but do have historic fairs and I mean to make a Tudor costume next year. Thanks for the good and easy instructions, your hair is wonderful!
i absolutely love my long hair and i have had people tell me all the time it would be easier if i cut it short, or short hairstyles are fun and edgy etc etc.....i have always preferred long hair and i will keep it long. their really are so many options, can do elizabethan hair styles, gorgeous full buns, tons of braiding options, curls etc etc...
@Heath75032 Um, okay? Why is it you left this particular comment on my hair tutorial? It's got nothing to do with religion...it's a hairstyle from Elizabethan times.
@aprillynn1975 Mine will slide back just a bit, but my braids usually don't separate. Make sure when you sew to keep as much tension as you can on your ribbon and when sewing into your scalp hair to come up as close to the braid as possible..that should help. You can also sew in another color ribbon going in the opposite direction..if you started on the left side, start on the right instead. It makes a pretty criss-cross pattern and should hold up really well.
Lovely! :D I've been doing my hair in a style pretty similar to this, but using pins, etc instead of sewing it on - headache! Thanks a lot, I'll definitely try this!
Slowly growing my hair back out into the length of your's. Chopped all of it off a few years ago and it takes forever to grow out! Love the style, definitely reminds me of Ren Fair!
My hair is not nearly long enough to do this... YET. But I absolutely love it and your tutorial was the first one I understood. Thanks!
That is so awesome! I can't wait til mine gets long enough again to do it :) THANKS!!
wow, thank god for your uploads , especially referencing the weight issue of long hair, now i just need to not be so lazy, i keep watching all your videos, loving them and then imagining taking them all out before bed, and oh gawd......
great work , and such a nice fun host.....thanks

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you! Very very enjoyable!🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 One note....you can braid in extensions and this style is doable! Please post more!
I've got hundreds of tutorials up. 😉
I hope to one day have hair long enough to do this. I've never thought of using a needle on hair and doing hairstyles with ribbon has always been beyond me. Great tutorial.
It is amazing you can do this without assistance! Beautiful!
Wow! Just stumbled onto the LHC forum and followed your link over. Have never heard of hair taping, though I used to experiment with ribbons but just as decoration. Looking forward to trying this.

you are just the sweetest thing ever!
I can't wait to try this! I've been trying all sorts of ways to get my hair up like that!
I love your hairstylings. I wish I was more dexsterous. I attempted the hair knot and failled each time.
I'll give this one a try.
Oh my goodness, this is absolutely beautiful, and you make it look so EASY! My hair is just to my waist, although it's pretty thick. I may have to try this out, it just looks so pretty!!

OMG THIS IS SO COOL!! PLEASE...I'm gonna go watch more of your videos, I'm sure you won't disappoint :3
This is lovely. And I *do* think I am going to try to do this when I go to our local renaissance faire this year!
WOW! This is spectacular! Your tutorials are so helpful!

Wow, fabulous! I had hip length hair a few years ago and stupidly cut it off. I've now started growing it out again (currently about APL) and I can't wait until it's long enough to do styles like this. I never used to bother with fancy braids last time it was long, I mostly just had it in a pony tail. Sooooo gonna try this once it's a little longer :D
they just used ribbons..no elastic hair ties. I use elastic as I'm doing it myself and it's just easier. So, they just tied it off with ribbon and did it pretty much the same. Of course, their needles weren't plastic, but I figure they probably had needles specifically for this hairstyle.
Amazing!!! People like you always make it so much easier to have long hair
I made my own sewing needle with a big enough whole to fit a big ribbion in. I have already tried it out and like all things new it took some time to get it right but it dose work. If you want me to tell you how just let me know. I love all your hair styles for long hair.
Wow, that's beautiful! I've always had a terrible time getting my long hair to stay up. Such a great idea! Thank you for posting this tutorial. By the way, your hair is gorgeous.
Simply amazing! Thank you for this video, I think I'm going to try to do this with my hair (which is almost as long as yours!)
My hair is to the back of my knees and I was wondering when doing this, do you put the ribbon through the hair under the braids or work it through them finishing at with some of the hair at the back of them? It's hard to tell in the video if your just going under them or a mixture of under and through. Love the hairstyle will totally try it because there is hardly anything new I can do to my hair to make it look new and gorgeous with how long it is.
im curious I'm picking up a sound with my head phones do you have a small dog that was trying to get you to open the door I kept hearing what sound like scratching
+lokigotya68 As this was seven years ago, I'm guessing that was my Brutus - he was a mini Schnauzer. It was probably him trucking up and down the hallway.
I did a tutorial on them -look for Double Dutch Braids -but basically they are two inside out French style braids on either side of your head.
@RepublicTX This information is much appreciated! I stopped blow drying my hair over 5 years ago, I curl my hair maybe 4 times a year and straighten my hair about 6-8 times annually. If I do, I use heat protectant spray but tbh I swear they never work. Still, the amount of times I apply heat appliances to my hair is very rare, so that shouldn't be my issue. I guess I need to get my hair trimmed a little more often and my nutrician in check which is difficult being a full time student. Thankyou x
One thing I thought of to make this more period for your viewers who go to the Ren Faires. If they have period ribbon they could tie their ends off with ribbons and then just use period ribbon to sew their hair. I think many of the ladies who go to Ren faires could find some period ribbon to use for this.Also, since I don't have ribbon but have an excess of yarn from various knitting projects, do you think this would work with yarn? I plan to try it I just wondered what your thoughts were.
Thank you for the lovely tutorial.
my hair is waist length and i usually struggle to come up with hairstyles as most of the magazines and tutorials are for short length, Thank you¡¡¡¡
What a great idea!!!!! I had always had long long long hair until after I got married and decided to cut it short for the first time .... of all that time I would have never thought to use a needle!!! =)
Could you please do a tutorial on Cate Blanchet's Elizabeth? The one she wears when she's still a princess, I'd really love it :)
OMG! I love your hair! I'm so jealous of its length and texture! It's all shiny and healthy! Can you give me some advice on growing my hair please? I'm Asian and have straight hair, but they never seem healthy when I grow them long =(
Thank you so much! And love your tutorials!
oh my gosh that is awesome! my hair is about 6 inches away from being that long...i just cant wait until it is, that is my goal. she has such pretty hair, even in the one where its not blow dried and she says that its not nice, its still beautiful! i wonder what hair care products she uses???
Oh the dreaded midday PE class. I've found this hairstyle to be really comfortable and very secure. I hope you have success and she finds that she likes it. Good luck!
I understand your pain my hair is a little over waist length and it's a ton of work and some days it impossible to have my hair down but I won't change it.
@Curiouslyobsessed You just untie the bow and pull it out back the way you came, loop by loop. The take down is really pretty fast.
great videos! i tried this style, my hair is about the same length as yours but i think mine is thinner, so when i did this i had a lot of problems with frizzies! I have tries a leave in conditioner to make it stick a little but dosn't quite work - any suggestions?
It looks really beautiful, I just don't like the bit where you can see the ponytail. I'd try to frenchbraid my hair on the head, then part it into two and continue like in the video, so I don't need to use a rubber band.
Having that extra anchor does really help my girls with silky hair. I even employed it into my Faux Crown braid and I have found that having an extra anchor really makes it more stable. :o)
I love it but there's no way I'll get hair this long so I am thinking of getting a long wig and do it and hope maybe you can take it off taped and not have to redo it anytime soon.
Here in Holland we sadly don't have RenFaires but do have historic fairs and I mean to make a Tudor costume next year.
Thanks for the good and easy instructions, your hair is wonderful!
i absolutely love my long hair and i have had people tell me all the time it would be easier if i cut it short, or short hairstyles are fun and edgy etc etc.....i have always preferred long hair and i will keep it long. their really are so many options, can do elizabethan hair styles, gorgeous full buns, tons of braiding options, curls etc etc...
@Heath75032 Um, okay? Why is it you left this particular comment on my hair tutorial? It's got nothing to do with religion...it's a hairstyle from Elizabethan times.
I usually do this with bobby pins, but your version is so much prettier!
Not quite. I can't sit on it yet, but I'm only a few inches shy.
This came up in my recommends today.
I wonder how they achieved these kind of styles before the advent of modern hair styling accessories. Very beautiful.
That was beautiful. I just cut my hair because the ends were really dead. I am going to grow it out again tho and try this!
@aprillynn1975 Mine will slide back just a bit, but my braids usually don't separate. Make sure when you sew to keep as much tension as you can on your ribbon and when sewing into your scalp hair to come up as close to the braid as possible..that should help. You can also sew in another color ribbon going in the opposite direction..if you started on the left side, start on the right instead. It makes a pretty criss-cross pattern and should hold up really well.
I love the style!!
I've done something similar with hairpins. The ribbon looks alot more comfortable. I'm thinking I'm going to be trying that.
Lovely! :D I've been doing my hair in a style pretty similar to this, but using pins, etc instead of sewing it on - headache! Thanks a lot, I'll definitely try this!
This is adorable. Reminds me of Ginger Rogers!
