Things You'll Need:
- Hair safe elastic band
- Hair pins
- Hair combs
- Hairspray
-
Step 1
Gather shoulder length or longer the hair into a loose ponytail close to the top of the head’s crown and secure it with an elastic band that is safe for use in the hair.
-
Step 2
Loosen the hair around the ponytail even further to make certain that it does not lie flat against the head. It should have a slight “poof” to it as though a roll of cotton or foam were placed between the hair and the scalp.
-
Step 3
Pull a few strands of hair out of the hair band. The strands should surround the face at the forehead, each side of the head, and at the nape of the neck.
-
Step 4
Dampen the hair strands from Step 3 above and pin curl them. Let them dry thoroughly.
-
Step 5
Grasp the ponytail part of the hair and softly knot it. For hair that is about shoulder length, the best way to accomplish this is to evenly spread the hair around the hair band in a loose looking bun. Secure the hair with hair pins. Those with longer hair may be able to make an actual hair knot by spiraling the hair around the hair band loosely and securing the ends with hair pins.
-
Step 6
Secure any remaining short hair or loose ends with hair pins or hair combs.
-
Step 7
Spray the pin curls with hairspray before removing them. The resulting curls should spiral loosely around the face at the forehead, the sides, and the nape of the neck.
-
Step 8
Lock the hairstyle into place with hairspray.
