Ever needed to pull your hair back but you don’t have a hair tie? If you have some bobby pins on hand then you can re-create this easy twisted ponytail.
This actually happened on the weekend. A friend asked if I had a hair tie but all I had were bobby pins. I have no idea where all my hair elastics go but my bobby pins always end up at the bottom of my handbag.
You can still create a ponytail and get your hair off your neck with a few pins. Twisting sections of your hair helps them stay in place and a small braid holds it all together.
I have to confess I forgot I had shot this hairstyle tutorial. I usually try to shoot a few hairstyle tutorials at once (to be more efficient). I was sorting through photos when I rediscovered this look. I love this easy kind of style that makes your everyday ponytail a little more beautiful.
These crazy colours in my hair are just from hair chalk. It’s a temporary colour that lets you experiment without risk. Normal chalk washes out easily. For this look I used L’Oreal liquid hair chalk and it was more like a semi-permanent colour in my hair as it lasted for several shampoos. The liquid chalk is easier to apply and lets you achieve a finer mix of colour.
These twists really show off the hair chalk, especially the braid detail. No matter your hair colour, this is a sweet look to try in your hair. It will work even better in second day hair.
Do you ever get caught without a hair band? Where do they all go??!
I’d love to see a photo of you wearing this hairstyle. Tag me on instagram using the hashtag #hairromance!
