Flip Ponytails into Messy Buns

       
    First, you part a zig zag or a strait part down the center of her head. I did a zig zag part. Clip up or put a ponytail on the side you are not working on to get it out of the way. Make sure you wet down all of the pieces of hair so you can control the fly aways.




    Next, you want to part out a section not quite half up, but pretty close, and make a bun or clip the other hair out of the way. If you want more flips than I am doing, just part out smaller sections.




    Make a loose ponytail and split the part close to the head in half.




    Now, you are going to flip the ponytail through the hole upside down.




    If it is still loose, just tighten it up. You should have this now.




    Next, part out another section and make a ponytail including the other hair from the flip.




    Flip that ponytail the same way you did the first one. It should look like this now.




    She is growing out some of her bangs, so I did flips in the front to get them out of her face, but you don't have to. Make a ponytail, but don't pull it all the way through to make a loop.




    Then, you bobby pin some pieces of hair into random places.




    Pretty much every messy bun looks different, but this is what mine looks like.




    Repeat all of these steps on the other side. Try to make them identical.




Here is a top view.




   Here is the right side.




    Here is the left side.




    This is what the flips in the front look like.




    You can pretty much do this hairstyle on any age. If you are doing it on a baby, or someone with short hair, you can leave them as high ponytails. Your hair doesn't need to be very long to do this.
    I hope you enjoy!

  2. LOVE it on her...I tried it again on Hailey the other day and she totally didn't like me doing it, I guess it did it too tight and it was hurting her. I'll have to have you do it again!
