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.
- Start with dirty hair. It's easier to work with (and wearing your hair up is a total waste of clean hair!)
- Put it in a pony tail on the crown of your head.
- Tease it like your auditioning for an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras.
- Putting you chin to your chest, let the poofy pony tail spread out evenly around your head like a fountain.
- 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.
- Pin down the outside edge using a bobby pin.
- 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.
- Repeat until all the hair is pinned in place.

ReplyDeletethis is so good! i'm going to give this a try, looks all quite easy and straight forward to do. thanks for sharing! i've been browsing through your DIY projects, love them!
ReplyDeletethanks, 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!)
