High Fashion Top Knot
This sophisticated style makes a statement of the Audrey Hepburn variety, and looks great on girls with bangs and an off shoulder style dress to really show off your neckline.
Sarah Says:
FIRST Coat your brush with hairspray to tame flyaways as you pull hair into a pony
DON'T FORGET Look up, not down as you make a higher than usual ponytail, which will prevent any bumps underneath and set your bun on the top of your head
USE THE TOOL Pinch and pull the wrap up through the ponytail hair, then just wrap and secure to create a bun
FINALLY Finish with the headband to accessorize your sleek new look
Low Maintenance, Big Style Bun
A favorite style that’s sophisticated yet trendy and super low maintenance, perfect for dancing the night away since it’s already-messy look won’t require a lot of upkeep.
Make it extra special:
THE DETAILS Beachwave some tendrils of hair in the front to pull out of the bun later
OPPOSITES ATTRACT Secure a low bun on the opposite side from your deep side part
KEEP IT LOOSE Use the Wrap Up to make your bun, and remember it’s supposed to be unkempt
FINAL TOUCH Pull out Beachwave’d locks and place on headband, lining up the rhinestones on the same side as your low bun
Fun Faux Bob
Channel Daisy Buchanan with a glam faux bob that carries a zero commitment policy at your next very special occasion.
How to Fool Them All:
CHAMELEON Use the Wrap Up tool in one of three colors that will blend well with your hair
ALL IN Pull all of your hair through the Wrap Up and begin rolling up
STYLE IT Shape and secure into a bob style around the nape of your neck
SECURE Use bobby pins to keep the Wrap Up in place and add the headband for the finishing touch
