Bit of a style crush on Jenna Coleman and my hair is similar length. I can never achieve these touselled kind of hair looks (or find them on YouTube as I don't know what they are called). Will post as separate posts so please reference each post if you can help name the style or identify the techniques! This one I like how its not too fussy.

Wash, moussse, 90% dry, wrap it up in a pair of cotton pants (honestly) and go to bed!

Aberforthsgoat · 31/05/2019 21:13

Wrap it up in pants? Please elaborate Grin

Refilona · 31/05/2019 21:13

I get them if I curl my hair at night (big curls) and then go to sleep. My hair looks like that in the morning.

TerribleTwosPhase · 31/05/2019 21:14

Also need to know how to wrap my hair up in pants 😂

ReformedB0t · 31/05/2019 21:15

A favourite as it's straight but with shape and I have no idea how to even describe it?! Now awaiting further pants detail haha!

My family think my hair pants are hilarious!

Just put your wrist through a leg hole, double them round, then use them like a giant bobble 😁 it makes big soft waves where a real bobble gives you lines in your hair.

A bit of Lush R&B hair conditioner in the morning smooths it all out.

ThatCurlyGirl · 31/05/2019 21:26

I think this is hugely to do with her having naturally thick but straight hair so it styles easily. Mine is super curly but because it's thick, it still has plenty of volume on the rare occasions I straighten it. What's your hair texture / thickness like?

ReformedB0t · 31/05/2019 22:12

My hair is very similar to hers, thick and easily straightened but does have some kink. Hmm I've got my hair tied in a ponytail in knickers, do you mean more of folding it back on itself so a scruffy bun rather than a ponytail @bearfoxbear

BearFoxBear · 31/05/2019 22:23

Yes, fold it back in, I twist it as many times as possible.

BloomedAgain · 31/05/2019 22:55

Do yu put the knicker bun on top of your head?

Aberforthsgoat · 31/05/2019 23:33

I am fascinated by the knicker bun but think I’d just end up with a frizzy mess as I have fine hair

NathansMummy0203 · 31/05/2019 23:48

@BearFoxBear

Can you put the knicker bun in you hair and post a pic so we can see? Grin

MiniMum97 · 31/05/2019 23:58

Yes I also want to see pic of knicker bun.

ChairPoseKills · 01/06/2019 00:03

Place marking for future knicker-bun details...

KittyMarion · 01/06/2019 09:34

Blow dry with big round brush for loose waves, paddle brush for the straighter one. Straighteners would make it look very flat.

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 01/06/2019 09:38

Need to see the knicker bun also

Whitefishy · 01/06/2019 09:41

If you already have thick hair and don’t need to worry about volume then you can curl with the straighteners for a tousled look. The trick is to kind of pull the straighteners down vertically as you’re curling. Curl in the same direction the whole way round, bit of mousse to scruff it up a bit.

Wenttoseainasieve · 01/06/2019 09:48

I want knicker bin details too!

milkshak3 · 01/06/2019 09:59

she either has think hair or has extensions or whatever this is called.

ThatCurlyGirl · 01/06/2019 10:05

OMG just read thread properly - I genuinely thought knicker scrunchies were my unique invention and have never told anyone! @BearFoxBear we are such trailblazers 😂

Wenttoseainasieve · 01/06/2019 10:18

I have just washed 90% dry hair, I'm putting knickers in to see what happens.

kenandbarbie · 01/06/2019 10:19

My hair kinda looks like that if I don't do anything to it. I have lots of straight hair.
