How to Do a Crow's Nest Hair

Crow's nest hairstyles are often seen on the fashion runway.

Create a piled-on-high, messy hairstyle in the form of crow's nest and you will look like you just walked off the hottest fashion runway. This teased, flirty, not-so-put-together look will make heads turn. Combine various styling products and techniques for a crow's nest hairstyle all your own that looks more elaborate than it is to create.

Things You'll Need

• Volume enhancing shampoo
• Volume enhancing conditioner
• Volumizing mousse
• Blow dryer
• Comb
• Bobby pins
• Elastic band
• Volumizing hairspray

Instructions

1. Wash hair using volume enhancing shampoo and conditioner with warm water. Shake hair vigorously and rub with a towel. Blow dry on a low setting without combing or brushing.

2. Tease hair from root to tip. Pull a section of hair up toward the ceiling and run a thin-tooth comb up and down along the section from root to tip. Spray with hairspray throughout to build the tease. To increase height, continue to tease on top of hair that has already been teased.

3. Pull hair up into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Strategically wrap pieces of hair around your head to resemble a bun or large round nest. Bobby pin the ends of each piece in various places around your scalp forming a high bun style and set with hairspray.

Tips & Warnings

• Accessorize with rope style or elastic headbands, satin bow clips or jeweled bobby pins.
