The Gibson Tuck is a super easy and gorgeously glamorous updo that doesn’t require a ton of pins and it’s really hassle free!!
The
Gibson Tuck is a classic Victorian hair style with a modern twist; it’s
a great everyday ‘do, but it’s the perfect style for an evening out.
Longer
and thicker hair is usually best with the Gibson Tuck, so using a
HeadKandy full head set in at least 16-18” is generally the best option
for this style.
Step One
First
fit your hair extensions … you may find it helpful to fit them a little
lower down than you would normally do so that the clips are well
hidden. You may find that you won’t need to wear all of the wefts for
this style.
Step Two
Pull
your natural hair and your hair extensions into a ponytail together and
secure with an elastic. Sit your ponytail in line with the top of your
ears so you have plenty of hair to tuck for the style.
Step Three
Pull
the elastic about half way down your ponytail and then in the loose
section of hair above the ponytail, use your fingers to separate the
hair to give you an empty pocket.
Step Four
Hold
the pocket of hair open with one hand and tuck the ends of your
ponytail into the pocket with the other hand. Once the ends are tucked
away, fold the rest of the ponytail and the elastic into the pocket of
hair.
Step Five
Once
you have finished tucking the hair away, use a few hair pins to secure
your style. It can be helpful to use at least one pin through the
elastic to hold the style in place securely. Use a small amount of
product to set your Gibson Tuck if necessary.
If
you want a curly style for the Gibson Tuck then be sure to add curls to
the hair first and then follow the above steps as normal. This style
also looks great with a few plaits or braids added … again, be sure to
do this before you start your Gibson Tuck.
Adding a clip or flower to your hair can make the Gibson Tuck super girly. Or add a jewel for a more glamorous finish to this easy updo!!
