I am hopeless at putting my hair up and getting it to look casual. It always looks like it is rock hard and stapled to my head.

Hope someone can give you some help.

Grab it as if into a pony tail, twist it upwards, and put in a clip. It will kind of fan out and you can sort of back comb it if you want. Then pull down some bits at the front/sides. This is my haistyle for about 1/2 the week and takes about 15 seconds. It will loosen and look better.

do you looke sperm like too then nutty?

I blame your education

hmm tried that sitting at pc sanmac but the only prob is that the front fringe bit(well not a fringe but itsa bit shorter) flops out.

Can't you give it a good talking to - behave hair- as if!

shoved it sternly behind ear?

i was going to say what sammac said

Ohh, hairdressing tips desperately needed here. If I have my hair up I look like a Spanish Flamenco dancer, except I am deathly pale. Yuck.

is this the official mumsnet style?

I know I have that style at school to avoid the dreaded lice- I bet loads of teachers have this too- in my school they do anyway.

Obviously my first style, not PA!!

get your front fringe bit cut into side sweeping fringe - I like them :D

Agree with the hair up brigade of for even more casual but effective sexily tossed back - take 1 bobble take hair through as if going to put pony tail in but dont bring the "tail" through if you see what i mean

Think most of us must have the same hairstyle. Mine is clipped up at the back with bits down the front. About 20 grips in the back mind you.

Coddy - I used to get up early to do my hair for school. Got told off in p.e once too for trying to kill everyone with hairspray. Bloody Mrs Turner, what a cow
