A Stylish Mess
1. Bova says to start by parting your hair into three section, making a low ponytail with the middle section.
2. Tease the hair in your ponytail lightly using a flat brush.
3. Next loosely twist your ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins. Don't be afraid if it's a little messy, says Bova.
4. Loosely French braid the sections of hair on either side of your ponytail, then wrap them around your messy ponytail, securing with bobby pins at the base.
5. Use the long end of a tail comb (pictured is the Denman DC05 Tail Comb) to loosen up your braids and pull out tendrils of hair around your hairline. Hence the undone-on-purpose look. (For added texture, get some help from a product like Neuma NeuVolume Surf Lotion).
6. Finish with hairspray and a too-die-for clip like this Arielle Chignon Wrap with Double Comb by Jennifer Behr Bridal Collection.
I have a thing for Pinterest hairstyles. I'm constantly pinning red carpet hairstyles, runway ponytails and anything that looks like it could make my hair even remotely resemble that of a Victoria's Secret model. The thing is -- I haven't accomplished a single one of them. Instead, my attempts end with me showing up late to work in a messy topknot ... again. And I know there have to be others who have the same frustrations (there's a whole website dedicated to Pinterest fails, after all). So we collaborated with a team of celebrity hairstylists to break down the products and step-by-step instructions you need to get that perfect Pinterest hairstyle every time.
