I was up in my little attic photo-studio office room during an early spring heat wave last month. I was wearing my new soft cotton vintage India dress that I am obsessed with. I was absolutely sweating and sweltering.
Playing with my newly ombre-d hair, I wanted it to look like a messy pile of hair romance with light ends spraying and shooting out of it like fireworks. I wanted a beautiful hot mess of hair.
Here is what I came up with.
This hairstyle has many steps for being such a mess. Don’t be afraid though! It is basically just grab a chunk, twist, bun, pin, and pull the ends out.
Here is how to do it….
1. Take a rough circular section of hair from the top of the back of the head. Split it in half. Take the 2 pieces in each hand and twist them in opposite directions.
2. Criss cross those 2 pieces and wrap them around each other in opposite directions, starting at the base. This will create a little twisty bun. When you have wrapped them around enough that there is 2 inches or so left on the ends, overlap the ends and pin them straight down into the base of your bun.
3. Now make a large section of hair that circles around the first rough circle section.
4. Split it in half, and twist the 2 pieces like you did the first.
5. Criss-cross those pieces in opposite directions and wrap them around the top of your first bun. Keep wrapping till you get to 2 inches from the ends.
6. Overlap the ends and pin them straight into the base. Your bun is getting bigger, twistier, and messier!
7. Now take the rest of the hair and split it in 2 and twist in opposite directions.
8. Criss cross them and wrap them in opposite directions around the twisty bun.
9. Overlap the ends, and pin them into the base of the bun.
!0. Now, the fun part. Find all your little end pieces. Pull at them. Pull them out, pull them apart. Make them into little sprays of hair ends all over the place. This adds some really fun texture and dimension to the do.
This hairstyle definitely calls for some lady part action, so don’t forget to free your lady bits:)
FIY, this DIY hairstyle is similar to the Infinity Twist, so If you like this one, check out that one too!
