Big Hair

So, yesterday I was sitting around playing with my hair and this is what came out of it:



It is sort of a cross between the exaggerated height and texture (à la Brigitte Bardot) seen at the Mulberry s/s 2012 show and the looped under pony tail (or so I would like to think). Curls, volume and up dos are currently dominating the catwalks. Luckily I am blessed with curly locks, which make embracing these hair trends fairly easy. 

Whether you've got curly tresses or poker straight hair you can achieve this look easily. Well, first you might want to curl your hair - tongs and perms are back in vogue this season. After that, follow these simple steps:

1. Tie hair up in a high pony tail and separate a lock of hair.



2. Wrap the lock twice or more around the loose hair of the pony tail.


3. Hook your finger under the top of a bobby pin and slide it in catching the loose strand first and the centre of the bottom end of the pony tail after that.


4. Make sure the pin is secured tightly and not visible (somewhat lost in your hair). And you should end up with something like this:




OK, so it may not be your every day look, but it is a funky way to spice up that pony tail and have a bit of fun! At least that's what I think. The question is what do you?

Post your comments and questions below and let me know how it goes.
