Hair Tutorial...via Michaela Noelle Designs

Hope you had a great weekend! Ours was filled with prepping, taping, priming, and painting....exhausting! But, on a side note, I finished reading Water for Elephants last weekend and LOVED it! Highly recommend it, and can't wait for the movie!

This posts wavers slightly away from design, but since I've had a few people ask me how to do this lately, I thought I'd share with everyone...

If any of you have trouble coming up with cute, quick hair styles like I do, I highly suggest checking out Michaela's blog.  She's an interior design student, and has "Fashion Friday" posts. She's done a few hair tutorials on Fridays, and I've learned a lot. I now regularly sport the low bun, and can't wait to try the high bun next!  (My hair is medium length and fairly thin, and I can still do it!)

It really is as easy as it looks.  Seriously. I just taught a friend of mine in 2 minutes.

First you want to tease the crown of your head to get some volume. Next, divide your hair into two sections. Starting with the left side, twist the hair all the way down and coil it up in a bun in the middle of your head. Secure with a clear elastic and 2-3 pins.

Then twist and coil the right side all the way down. Wrap that section around the first bun we have created.  Secure with 5-6 bobby pins. Hair spray and you're good to go!

I'm still trying to figure out how to make it look like a knot, like Michaela does in this picture. Isn't it gorgeous??

This is just from my iPhone, but here's a pic of what mine typically looks like...not as gorgeous or as full as Michaela's, but it's quick and easy!
