Effortlessly romantic, this simple twist is easy, versatile, and irresistibly feminine. Wear it loose and tousled for a bohemian effect, or smooth and sleek for classic style that’s pretty and polished. The addition of flowers, lace, ribbon or jeweled hair pins make the look entirely yours.

Materials:

Bobby pins
Fine tooth comb or teasing brush
Curling iron
Hair spray

Step 1: Take a section of hair at the crown and tease.

Step 2: Smooth the top and gather the sides.

Step 3: Begin twisting the section of hair into a half bun.

Step 4: Continue twisting hair.

Step 5: Pin the bun in place and curl the remaining hair.

Step 6: Finish the look by adding flowers, lace, or bows.

The finished look is tousled, casual, and classic, all at the same time.
