The great thing for us curlies is that it literally takes five minutes and maybe ten to fifteen bobby pins to complete this look. That's it. I don't have any bows or flowers for my hair, so I substituted a gift wrap bow.
Here's the how-to:
Here's how mine turned out:
Notes:
- It was really hard to not make it super-short. For some reason my hair really wanted to shrink when I condensed the curl and tried to pin it.
- This was done on second-day hair at the end of the day, so yeah, there's frizz. I was also in a hurry and didn't spend a lot of time perfecting the back. I'd definitely make it more presentable for an event. I do like the messy look though.
- [Adding to this a few days later...] I think this would work best on hair that still has styling products and some hold. I slept on a cotton pillowcase with my hair down and lost all the hold my hair had. It was a disaster when I tried to do this again.
What do you think? I think I'm going to re-do this to perfect the back.

I LOVE it! Wow, so pretty and elegant. I'll have to try this the next time I need a fancy updo. The messy look is great as well. I think curlies just pull the messy look off so naturally, I like it!
Thanks! I'm thinking about wearing it to my sister's graduation in June. Let me know how it works for you!
The back was the trickiest part and it didn't go so well yesterday when I tried to do this again. I think it would work best on hair that still has styling products in it.
It looks beautiful! I am gonna try this myself one of these days!
Thanks :)
