Things You'll Need:
- Hair elastics
- Small butterfly clips (to match hair color)
- Rat-tail comb
- Hair spray
- Long hair (at least mid-back length to execute this style)
-
Step 1
Separate a small section of the hair in the front of your head at your hairline (imagining where your bangs would be if you had them), and clip it to the side.
-
Step 2
Using your fingers, separate another section of your hair, creating a straight line across the back of your head, just above your ears. For now, clip it to the side.
-
Step 3
Create a ponytail using a hair elastic. Instead of pulling your hair completely through, just pull it through about four inches to create a loop, leaving the rest hanging down. Pull the loop up toward the crown of your head and use a small butterfly clip on each end to secure it.
-
Step 4
Make a knot with the hanging ponytail close to your head. Secure it with a bobby pin or two if necessary.
-
Step 5
Divide the hanging ponytail into three sections. One at a time, roll each section upward around your fingers creating three loops. Secure each with a small butterfly clip.
-
Step 6
Separate and fluff each loop you've created on your head carefully to hide the clips and create volume.
-
Step 7
Release the section of hair you reserved and clipped in the center of your head. Diagonally separate the hair into two sections. One at a time, tease the two sections using a rat-tail comb. Once teased, roll both sections together with your hand, toward the back of your head like a crown. Secure these at each side with a butterfly clip. Gently arrange to create symmetry and disguise the clips. Spray the hair lightly with hairspray.
-
Step 8
Coil the last reserved front section of hair around two fingers, toward the crown of your head. Secure it to the left side with a bobby pin or two. It will resemble a rosette flower.
-
Step 9
Spray your entire head lightly with hairspray to finish the look.
