Simple, sleek, elegant. I like it!
THE TEST: Can a normal person recreate this hairstyle at home?
I followed the directions, which were very clear. Basically, you put your hair into a half-pony, tease the bottom of that pony a little, then smoothly tuck the rest of your hair through a hole in the half pony. That didn’t make any sense. It would be better to just follow the instructions on the Pin. haha.
I was surprised to find that this hairstyle was really easy! It only took a few minutes. The final results aren’t exactly like the original picture, but I wore my hair this way to church and got compliments, so I think that’s a good sign. My hair is not nearly as long as the hair shown in the pictures either…it’s a few inches below the shoulders with lots of shorter layers and I was still able to pull it off.THE RESULT: A new, elegent hairstyle that takes minutes and is totally doable for anyone at any hairstyling skill level!

Thanks for sharing this!! I always wonder about those, even though I'm a hair stylist, I'm not good at the do's like that, especially on myself, but you've inspired me to try this one!! 🙂

Love how it turned out. I never really do ANYTHING with my hair except brush it and leave it down…maybe I should try it. 🙂

Polly,
I hear ya…with little kids, it's hard to find time for stuff like hair. I pretty much scrunch-curl/air-dry or wear a pony tail. If I'm going to do something fun, it's usually for church or a special occasion.

Looks great! But I must say, you've got great hair anyway, so I don't know if I can trust your pinterest tested results for myself…..I'll let you know if it works out.
But your hair ALWAYS looks amazing! Do you give lessons?
🙂

I've tried this pin too. It didn't work for me. I have thin hair. When I pulled the pony tail through, my hair split apart. I think you need thick hair for this one to work.

Anonymous poster, you make a good point. I do have pretty thick hair, so that helps give it volume. Thanks for the tip!
