Popular Style

The Simple Gibson Tuck

I’ve received a lot of compliments on this easy rendition of the once popular Edwardian hairstyle, and I keep thinking to myself that Victorian is in right now and I should share this simple style. But it wasn’t until a make up artist stopped me in a coffee shop in Traverse City asking me how that I finally put my foot down. As soon as I get back from Ireland, I thought. Well today it’s snowing up a storm outside and I don’t have everything I need to bake the muffins I wanted, so here we are! These photos aren’t the greatest display of the Simple Gibson because I didn’t have a mirror and I’m SO picky that I wanted the photos of the hair to match the video, so I took them right after the video. The look is a lot cleaner when you have a mirror.



   

What You Need

    ★ comb
    ★ hair tie (it doesn’t really matter what color)
    ★ bobby pins
    ★ roller (optional)

What You Do

Pull your hair into a ponytail. You can make it high, semi-high, or low, as this looks great in all three. (I’ve tried them all!) Next you’ll want to gently pull on the ponytail, almost as if you were going to take it out, and then take your finger and wiggle a gap into your ponytail (in between your scalp and the hair tie) making a sizable nest. Twist your ponytail around your finger with one hand and then roll it up into the neat little nest you made. Now this part can be tricky: keep rolling it up until your ponytail holder can be tucked flush against your scalp and then use the bobby pins to pin your hair tie against your scalp, keeping the style in place. It’s important that you pin the hair tie because not only will it keep the look in place, but it will hide your hair tie all together. Pretty awesome, I’d say.

Using A Roller

Using a roller instead of your finger is also an option. It’s good to use a roller if you’re trying this look with shorter hair, or you have lots of layers and you don’t want them falling all over the place, or you have really fine hair and it’s hard to roll it. What it does is fattens the bun and really makes it stick out, so if you have shorter hair, this will make it look fuller.

It’s definitely handy, but be careful, because I’ve found that sometimes it’s hard to unroll it without your hair getting stuck all over the place. I’ll probably end up getting a smooth roller because sometimes I love that fat tuck look.

Sorry the video is hazy and slightly out of focus. I’m still getting used to the video options on the new camera! (Also, if the video is for some reason blocked in your country you should be able to view it with an alternate soundtrack here on YouTube.)

Update: I’ve decided that the Gibson Tuck is way more fun with shorter hair.

My hair is just brushing my collarbone in this photo and it tucked beautifully! So those of you worried about this look with shorter hair, don’t. =)

    It took a little trial and error for me to get this ‘do right — turns out the thickness of the hair tie made a difference — but I tried it out today, and it stayed up all day and all night! I have stubborn medium-length hair with layers, and this usually results in bits of hair that either fall out, or end up sticking out around my head in an unattractive fashion. But this tuck impressed me with its simplicity and its staying power, and I’ll definitely be wearing my hair like this a lot in the future. Thanks so much for sharing this!

    Can you explain in more detail how you put the bobby pins in? I can’t see what you’re doing in the video and every time I try and put the pin through the hair tie it opens the pin too wide and my hair falls out (and the bobby pin is warped and has to be tossed). I have never used bobby pins before so I don’t really know how to properly use them.

      Hi Jane,

      I open the bobby pin and then I slide it against the back of my head, but putting the ponytail holder in between the two pins. (So I am pinning my ponytail to the back of my head, not my hair.) I only do it over one loop of the hair tie. (Otherwise it will be pushed too wide and warp the pin.)

      I really hope this makes sense. Let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll see if I can record a video close up of what I’m doing.

      Hi Elizabeth! The hair color that I used has since been discontinued but It is not! I use a color that has been discontinued (though I still have some boxes left), but my next color I’m going to try is going to be Strawberry Blonde 7R #72 by Revlon. Most recently I used henna, which I loved but it was pretty hectic to use.

      I’ve found the trick to having this type of hair color is to avoid colors that say “red” or “auburn” and to go with colors that say, “copper” or “blonde”. My old color was “strawberry blonde” and I’ve heard of people successfully using “copper penny”, and other such names! I get this question a lot so as soon as I have my new color I will share it!

    Thanks so much for posting this! I styled my hair this way for a party last weekend received a zillion compliments on my “Lady Mary” hair :-). However, I do have a question for you. I’ve noticed that the ends of my hair tend to poke out at the bottom of the hairstyle after I’ve had it up for a while. I know that’s an issue for people with really long hair but mine is a few inches shorter than yours was in the video. Have you found any way around this problem or do you just re-do it periodically during the day? Thanks again!

      Hi Rebecca,

      I find the trick to not having it poke through the bottom is to very carefully make your nest. When you’re rolling the hair in try to think more ‘up and over’, rather than ‘in’, the back of your hair is more for decoration. It’s hiding your pinned hair rather than holding it up. I hope that makes sense.

      (Otherwise you could just redo it throughout the day.)

    awesome!! I’ve tried something like this before but for some reason I never figured out to pin the hair tie — mine always fell out! thanks a bunch!!
    I also found that you can secure this hairdo with a hairstick, but make sure to stick it through the hair tie before reversing it. I wonder if you can do this with a french braid going into the ponytail?

    Very nice video Sara!
    The only thing I do different to my waist long hair is tighten the hair a bit after pulling my ponytail through so the hairband is closer to my head. I also have a tool that came out many years ago .. a Topsy Tail .. which pulls your “tail” through very nicely ..
    It was an elongated rounded “P” shape .. I would guess something like it could be homemade. I would use a pointed orange wood stick and half of a six-pack ring trimmed and taped/glued to the stick.
    Also if you like the fatter look you can make a Victorian “rat” from yarn or stocking material wadded up into a fine hairnet. They were about 6″ by 2″ or 3″. Kind of like a sausage you rolled your hair up in and pinned. Old “rats” were made from the owner’s own washed hair. One on either side of your head made the hair full and romantic!

      You put the roller all the way to the end of your hair and then you tuck the ends around the roll (and they’ll stick to the roller) and then you roll it up just like you would your hair! I recorded a video on Youtube the day I cut my hair but it didn’t process correctly! I’ll see if I can do another one asap.

      Depending on your hair type you’ll want to get a sort of small roller (or thicker roller if your hair is thinner) And put the roller at the very end of your hair, behind your head, then roll it backwards and up until your hair is all caught up in the roller. You can then pin the roller with bobby pins from the side without ever having to create a hole to tuck in.

      Sara, I went to high school in Elk Rapids and elementary in Traverse City (Willow Hill!)- I love TC!

      About your hair, this happens to me sometimes too, the trick I find is to make your roll higher up on your head.

      Keep the ponytail part low, but when you start to roll it in start higher up on your head so the roll finishes just as you reach your pony tail holder! (Does that make sense?)

          Hi Clio, there are two ways to solve this problem! Sometimes my hair falls through the bottom too, but that’s because I created a hole through my ponytail instead of a pocket. You want just a slight slit in your ponytail.

          Now because you have so much hair, it’s too heavy for your pocket to hold, so it slips through. So a way to counter act this is to pin the roll higher on your head. so that the entire bunch of hair isn’t being held up by the nest you made and a few bobby pins in the pony tail.

          You can separate your hair into three parts and roll them each separately (something I recommend for people with shorter hair and lots of layers. It will look like the picture on the very bottom of this post, only much thicker since your hair is longer.

          Your other option is to use a roller and pin the roller to your head with bobby pins, so the nest look is created by the roller. Please let me know if this made sense, if not I’ll make a video!

I also suck at hairdos, but I was suprised at how easy this was! I just tried it quicklyI, and found it only took me a few minutes! It did look a lot messier than yours, but I quite like the messy look!
    I did struggle to tuck the final bits in, and needed to use a fair few bobby pins, but I wasn’t suprised, and it was still doable!

    I love this hairstyle, but I thought I’d share a tip that I discovered through my own trial and error. I have incredibly fine and thin hair and it’s about to my collarbones. Doing this style the traditional way works alright but I’ve found that my roll in the back is pretty skimpy, and my hair often splits down the middle (from my crown to where I create the “nest”) since my hair is so thin. I’ve found that if I braid my hair first (just a simple braid beginning at my nape), then roll it up and tuck, it turns out beautifully! The braid helps with three things: It fattens up the roll, it prevents loose hairs from escaping (gives my fine hair some “grip”), and also prevents the “split” from forming. Just thought I’d share in case I have any hair twins out there. 🙂

    You have such amazing hair! Unfortunately, mine’s not as long, so when I do something similar I tuck it in to a hair band-thingy (that goes all round your head if you get what I mean?!).

      I definitely know what you mean, Emma. I had my hair cut pretty short for a while with lots of layers and they were always falling out all over the place. I’m sure it looks adorable with the head band! (You could even wrap flowers in it!)

    Wowwww I came for the hairstyle but stayed for the haircolor. I’ve been a Lush fan for ages but have never been brave enough to try the henna (or any haircolor for that matter). Do you mind me asking what your natural hair color is? Mine is …somewhere between blonde and brown. Did you have to bleach yours? I have a little natural red but I’ve always wanted color like yours. Any secrets you can tell me would be muuuuch appreciated.

      Thank you so much, Jessica. I did not have to bleach my hair first at all. My natural color is somewhere between blonde and brown myself. I’ll get natural hi-lights in the summer to blonde if I leave it!

      I did not have to bleach my hair first, and I used a temporary dye over hi-lights. After a week or two it fades and the hilights shine through as a lighter orange/red color to give dimension. The downside to that is that when it really starts fading the bottom of my hair can be a bit brownish, but I don’t mind.

      The trick is to stay away from the wine or purple reds. Look for more of a Strawberry blonde, or light auburn. Revlon Colorsilk 45 bright auburn might be a good choice! Also, Caroline did mention Caca Rouge by Lush as a natural alternative, but I have yet to try it!

      It took me a few tries to find the red I liked, because each dye is different to each person, but in the end I found what I was looking for.

      =)

      Good luck!

        You use a temporary dye to get that color?? It’s gorgeous. I’m scared to dye my hair because I have natural highlights all year long with a gorgeous light brown/red color… I’d love to try red sometime but I don’t want the ugly root marks that have to grow out over the next 50 years until my hair gets as long as it is again haha.

      Thelma- I have very thick hair too and layered (oh and my hair was dry when I made my attempts)… It took me about 7 tries, but I finally got it. I used about 10 bobby pins. Then I *tried* to fasten 2 in the hair tie, but mostly I used the bobby pins along the sides and positioned them to come in towards my hair tie until it felt secure. It’s nowhere near as pretty though :o(

          Definitely! I just suggest trying to pin it in parts as best you can. My sister’s hair is fairly thick but it’s down to her bum and I was able to tuck it for her. You just have to take it piece by piece and spread it out across the head instead of all clumped together. (I hope that makes sense!)

I’ve allready tried it twice, since my hair’s got many and quite short layers, it only works as long as it’s wet, but I’ll just wait until my hair gets a little bit longer and then I’ll try it again…
    Thank’s again for sharing!

        Very welcome and yep, I use Caca Rouge. I think it only goes that odd magenta colour if you’re very fair, if you’ve had red in your hair before it seems to pick it up and brighten it, Just so you know, it is messy and smells but the end result is awesome. And use gloves, I didn’t once and I had oompa loompa hands.
        Good luck!

    I’ve been meaning to comment before now, but I just re-discovered your blog after forgetting to bookmark. Definitely want to purchase your photoshop actions at some point, too.
    Anyway, I read above that you were looking for a hair dye to do this one justice, I was wondering if you’d found one? I’ve been wanting to dye my hair this colour for a while and between deliberating whether it would suit me and whether or not to trust a hairdresser, it’s so tempting just buy some some dye and take the plunge!
    Sorry for the rambling comment, by the way and keep up the amazing blog!

    Granted I didnt brush my hair before attempting it or use a comb after the pins were in or use proper bobby pins (I used 3 slide pins) but it looks fantastic, took me two minutes to do and only 3 pins!

    THANK YOU!

    I found your blog through pinterest and was hoping to be able to video and repin to share with more people, but flikr says that the video is private and I don’t have permission to view it. Do you know how I could see it? 🙂

      Hi Keri, it’s private on my flickr stream but it allows me to embed it. There is a public version of the video on YouTube that you can pin on Pinterest. =)

    I love this hairstyle! So chic and simple. One question though: I have very wavy hair and every time I try this style the sides end up all poofed out. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? (Or if this maybe isn’t the best style for lighter, curlier hair?)

      Thanks, Adrienne! I’m not sure what you mean by the sides poofing out, I know that they stick out a bit for me, but perhaps you mean they stick out too much? I have worn this style with my hair curled and I love the way it looks- so I’m not sure. Try separating your hair into two part and twisting them close to your head before putting them into the ponytail. Then continue as normal but at the very end use a comb to bring the center together (like I do in the video) so you can’t see the separation.

    I love the music in your Gibson tuck video. I was wondering what it is! Its just as beautiful as the hair style.

    If you could e-mail me back what the song is, that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

    I may have been the last to find this video you put up but I am SO thankful I did! I’m growing out my hair for the first time in a long time and I’m really loving being able to do things with my hair. I love this ‘do – thanks for the pictures & videos! Can’t wait to try it tomorrow.

    Hi, I saw your post on Casey’s Elegant Musings. What a beautiful and EASY hairstyle. I tried it out as soon as I saw this, and less than one minute I was out the door! I do have to admit that I worry I look a little bit “church-lady”-ish. Hopefully nobody else has that image, because this is so cute!

    I have to go to an army formal in a week, and this is perfect! One question—do you think this would work with flat-ironed hair? It’s usually the only way I can tame the frizz of my wavy hair.

      I don’t see why not! If it falls out too much because it’s too smooth, try using a roller! But honestly I think it should be fine! Good luck and have fun at the formal!

    Adorable! Is that your natural haircolor – or if it is colored – what is your coloring information? That is one of the most gorgeously, vibrant hues of red I’ve ever seen!!!

      Hi Holly, unfortunately my color was just discontinued last month. The entire line is gone. =(

      I am in the process of finding a new color that does this one justice and as soon as I find it, I’ll email you and let you know!

      I’m so glad you like it! It’s so easy and really quite elegant at the same time. I currently have shorter hair right now (it just brushes my collar bone) and I actually like the way it looks better! I’m sure it will look lovely on you.

    Um. I’m going to grow my hair out just so I can do this. And then I’m going to work on finding some Victorian boots to match.

    Oh NICE! I wear my hair in inverted ponytails all the time and never thought to not pull it all the way through. I’m gonna have to try this on my next day off.

    Also, so excited to see some video action in your post! I’ve been dying for it since you got your new camera.

    LOVE IT. My hair is probably way too short to try that, but I am going to attempt it anyway. Maybe I’ll come up with something else in the process that suits my length.

    Thanks for the post!
