make | How to Do Your Hair in a Beehive





At work, the cute girls at the Front Desk have a tradition called Monday Bun-Day. They're all worn out from the weekend and washing their hair is just too much for a Monday.Rather than rocking the trendy top knot, they all go for the bee hive. Whenever I try and wear my hair up I look like a total slob. So, I asked Tessa and Jamie to give us a little lesson. 
  1. Start with dirty hair. It's easier to work with (and wearing your hair up is a total waste of clean hair!)
  2.  Put it in a pony tail on the crown of your head.
  3. Tease it like your auditioning for an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras. 
  4.  Putting you chin to your chest, let the poofy pony tail spread out evenly around your head like a fountain.
  5.  Take a lock of hair (roughly 1/8th of the total) and make a loose, wide c-shape around the pony tail holder by first coming straight out and then wrapping in an open, circular shape. 
  6.  Pin down the outside edge using a bobby pin. 
  7.  Take the next lock, and use it to fill the inside of the c-shape and extend the circumference of the bun, also in a c-shape. Continue clockwise. 
  8.  Repeat until all the hair is pinned in place.

    1. thanks, Laura! It's definitely a low effort/high impact hair style. And I'm glad you like the DIY's, they seem to take the most time to do (especially when I was shooting film exclusively!)
