Happy Day-After-Christmas!!
I totally already got my post-jingle-bell shopping in, and saved no money. But that's alright, it was at a consignment shop... so the prices were all drastically reduced anyway.
I'm constantly looking for new ways to mix up my bun, so today I tried a little trick that I saw on The Beauty Department. It's a ballerina bun with a French braid up the back. It's modeled after this style.
Now, you may be wondering how in the heck I did this on my own head. Simple. Kind of.
I pulled the top half of my hair into a ponytail. Then, I flipped my head upside down and French braided the bottom half away from my neck. I secured it with a clear plastic elastic and then included it in the ponytail on top of my head. For the ballerina bun, I simply twisted my ponytail around the ponytail holder and pinned it in place, just like they did at The Beauty Department.
Oh-- and if you're not the most skilled at French braiding... have a buddy help you out! That's why my braid is so messy... it was hard to braid upside down! It's a rockin' style that adds spunk and personality to any messy bun.

How you did that to yourself I will NEVER know! Looks gorgeous! Hope you had a fantastic holiday!
ReplyDeleteI would never be able to do a braid like that, but it looks so cute! i am jealous!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I was thinking 'did she turn her head upside down' and I read on on and yep. You did. And I'll be giving the 'Holiday Updo' a go on NYE
