Sometimes you want to have a short hair day, but without the commitment of actually getting your hair cut! Here's a fun and cute way to style your long locks into a short bob do. Enjoy!
1. Divide your hair into two sections, from one ear to another. 2. Pin up the top section, just to keep it out of the way. 3. Pull the bottom section into a ponytail. 4. Twist the pony tail into a small bun and pin flat against your head. 5. Now unpin the top section, begin dividing it into small strands. 6. Fold the strands in half and pin them up underneath, try your best to hide the bobby pins! 7. Once you've pinned all the strands, carefully use a curling iron to flip the strands out just a little. This will make them look more natural. 8. Add any accessories or pin any loose pieces and you're done!
Thanks so much Katie! Happy short hair days! xo. Elsie and Emma

This is adorable! Katie looks great with short hair. :)
Such a lovely tutorial and a beautiful model. Katie's hair colour is exactly what I want, my hair never seems to want to dye that colour though. I am pinning this to try one day!
That is gorgeous! I have spent months growing my hair out. I have been craving short hair lately, but haven't want to sacrifice all the work! Awesome solution!
