Messy ballerina bun

You need: Hair pins and a headband no more than 2 inches wide

Brush your hair backwards taking a section from centre front and twisting it backwards pinning at centre back. Repeat this above your ear on both sides. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO

BE NEAT! Put on a headband. (Just in-case you don't know how to!) Put your head through the hole and pull it down so it hangs around your neck. Put all your hair out over the band. Holding the front of the band pull it up and position about a cm away from your hairline. The twists will be flattened slightly but that doesn't matter. Gather your hair up (twists included) into a messy pony, then holding the end twist up into a bun. Stick pins in at the cardinal points (north, east, south and west), pull a few strands out to frame your face and there we go, a cute, messy ballerina bun!

Ideas

• Try different widths of hairband, no more than 2 inches work best but try thinner.
• Stick a brooch in the bun or a fabric flower ( You can buy these or make them yourself)
• It doesn't have to be a hairband, try tying a strip of fabric round instead,                            maybe tying a bow at the side.

How to wear

This is quite a fancy hairstyle so wear with simple clothes, jeans and a white t-shirt using a

colourful headband or a patterned skirt with a plain black band. For dark hair I suggest a bright or pastel band for light hair dark colours can be striking but bright or subtle works as well.

Primark T-shirt

I recently bought this t-shirt from Primarks Spring, Summer range.

It came in many other colours and patterns but this one is my favourite.

Very cute, very versatile, can be worn with almost anything.

 The clothes I have paired it with are (Probably) not available to buy any more.

Shirts; both H&M

Hoody; Hollister

Skirt; Homemade

This summers hairstyle

May, June time it was the twisted plaits pinned center back creating a boho feel but come July things have changed once again. Drum-roll please and in enters the... ponytail!
Umm... Ok... Your'e thinking, but I'm serious, for this summer only, this lil' girl style has opened
its doors to an older audience bringing a wave of freshness onto the fashion scene.

Vogues July issue held an article declaring that the general problem people have with
ponytails is the height; too high and you become a cheerleader but too low can sometimes
look too serious. - not to say that that's the case with everyone, some people look great with
the cheerleader/serious thing - the result putting people off.

The trick is getting it in the right place for you. not too low, not too high...
you just have to experiment.

Whats really in right now is messing it up, pulling strands out to frame your face.

You can play around with your ponytail once you've sorted the height,
try winding strands round or plaiting part of it.

Ponytails are cool in the celeb world to with big names such as Taylor Swift, Lilly Allen,

Katy Perry, Bella Thorne and Ariana Grande all giving it there own twist.
