Messy Updo
You will need:
-
- 1 hair tie
- Bobby pins
- Decorative hair comb
Instructions:
Step 1: Split your hair into three sections. The middle section should be about twice as large as the two side sections.
Step 2: Using the hair tie, put the middle section into a half bun, leaving a tail. Twist and fluff the tail, then wrap it around the bun. Secure the tail by tucking it under the hair tie.
Step 3: Take both side sections and bring them together in the center of the back of your head. Tie the ends together, sort of like the first step of tying your shoes. You should now have two tails, one hanging on either side of the bun.
Step 4: Secure the tails using bobby pins, adjusting the wisps to suit your liking.
Step 5: Add your favorite hair accessory.
