Answer #3

Things you’ll need: bobbi pins (3-5) 2 elastics brush or comb hairspray(maybe) possibly a straightener ribbon (depends)


brush or comb your hair back into a pony tail if you want a high push it closer to the top of your head if you want it down more push it near the nape of your neck. take the ponytail wrap it around the base. get your second elastic put it on the bun get the lose hairs & put them up wit bobbi pins. you can use clips put it looks better wit bobbi pins if your going to a fancy place you could wrap a ribbon around the bun. :)

Ok! If I know the ‘look’ your going for then I think I can help. By the way I’m 14 too! anyways…

      1. put hair into a low middle or high pony(which ever you desire).
      2. scrunch hair up in one of your hands( like your grabbing a softball but with your hair instead of a ball)
      3. put in another hair tie to hold in the scrunched up messy look.
      4. add just a dab(like pea size amount) of gel to the messy scrunch.
      5. If stray hair falls out add just one more thin hair tie and you should be set to go!

I hope this helped! I tend to do this look a lot. It’s cute, fast, and amazing!

I used to do that with my hair all the time before I cut my hair short… But basically put your hair into a ponytail but don’t put the elastic on fully wrap it once around your hair, then pull the tail back through once more as if you’re going to wrap the elastic around once more but don’t pull your hair all the way through, instead wrap the elastic around the loops you’ve made, letting toughs of hair go anywhere they wish.

Basically and more easily said… make half a ponytail and mess it up while wrappign the elastic around…

Sorry if that makes no sense… I tried to help… XD
