I’m obsessed with this hair tutorial by NYC writer Joanna Goddard. I posted a link on the beautygeeks Facebook page on the weekend, but thought maybe I’d post it here today in case some of you don’t do Facebook — no judgement.
It’s so simple, this look: three little twisted buns at the nape of the neck, which would be made even easier by Goody’s Mini Spin Pins ($6.99/pair).
Seems best for medium to fine hair — I suspect my thick Asian-esque hair will stick out at the ends in an animé way rather than the pretty finish Joanna’s friend Caroline achieves. So will you try, please? And let me know how it works for you?
Full delightful instruction at A Cup of Jo.

1st – LOVE the title.
2nd – I don’t think these are for hairstylists. :) I tried the Goody ones just today on myself – I have better luck with hairpins. I will try again tomorrow. LOL (http://andreaclaire.onsugar.com/Art-DIY-Updo-Only-8-Bobby-Pins-Required-9035732)
It does take a little practice, actually Andrea! Gotta get ‘em in the right spot! As for your awesome 8-Bobby-Pin-Bun, I would definitely need more than 8 to do it myself. *sigh*
LOL yes.. I was thinking the same thing. The anime effect =P
I think we’d have to blowdry and curl our ends a little, Kahani! But maybe just the ends… I’m going to try. One day.
liking this look, a lot.
It’s just so pretty, right Jen? Caroline’s lighter ends make it especially so.
So pretty. It looks a little complicated…I think I may be able to pull it off!
