I'm happy to introduce one last new weekly feature for the new year! In addition to Project ReStyle and Makeover Story I will be sharing weekly fun and simple hair and makeup tips straight from the Red Velvet Studio! This new feature is called Red Velvet gets fancy!
Today's tip it all about using yarn (it works with thin pieces of lace too!) to create a pretty messy hairstyle. Just tie the yarn around your head like a headband, then weave long piece into a ponytail. Last, pin the loose ponytail up into a bun. It's that simple. Plus... good news, the messier you make this hairstyle, the cuter it looks!
This look was originally inspired by these gorgeous fashion photos. Emma is modeling the look and you can see more photos of her outfit from today on her blog.
Uhhh, heh-heh, okay, so I might be able to get the messy bun part. BUT what if you *don't* just happen to have adorable tendrils framing your face in the front? SIGH.
Cute, though. :)

how much do I LOVE this??
I'm a knitter, too and always seem to have that last little yard or two of luxury yarns leftover that I can't bring myself to scrap. What a lovely way to use them :-)
thanks for the inspiration!

@Abby No face framing tendrils? I bet it would look cute too if you pekinese-pompadour the front & rock(abilly) the heck out of this look :)
My hair's a might shorter, messy by nature & i have bangs... I'm going to do this to my way-too-old-for-pigtails :)
love it!

Amazing! What an easy and awesome look!

gosh emma has the loveliest hair color. i like this one a lot, plus it seems the yarn would stay in place really well. it never fails that i'll be constantly adjusting my headbands b/c they tend to slide around. this one's stellar.

Ooooh, I've just started wearing headbands, this will work out great!! I'm a SAHM of a toddler...anything that looks mildly cute/put together while being quick and easy = perfect!!!

She looks stunning! I wish I had long hair, so I could do something like that! :) Need to start project "grow my hair long" for 2011.
