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.

Bun not bum, clearly!

Really?
I doubt my big pants resemble anything VB owns

On board for the knicker bunSmile

I use pants as a hair band to hold my fringe back while I wash my face.

Up and down the country this evening dozens of men (or women partners of relevant) will be looking at their wives and girlfriends tonight and saying:

"What the fuck are you doing with your pants?" ConfusedHmm

There is an unflattering knicker label hanging out. Husband is asking wont a bobble do the trick.

Marking place for a knicker bun photo
I have thin hair and a big bum....would my toddlers knickers be better for this job?

Myusernameismud · 09/06/2019 22:12

OK, I've given it a go and this is what I've ended up with. I sort of bent it over and over instead of twisting it into a bun, is that right?

As a side note, DH watched very quietly as I took a pair of pants out of my drawer, tipped my head upside down and carefully tied them around my hair. Then I got into bed and about 10 minutes later he said 'so why is it you've got knickers in your hair?'.
'I want beachy waves' I replied.
'oh, ok' he said.
End of conversation Grin

I love his unquestioning approach to marriage.

How did it work out?

BogglesGoggles · 10/06/2019 11:17

I would do a blow out followed by a bit of texturing spray and a bit of a tousle.

Myusernameismud · 10/06/2019 15:46

Didn't really work, but then I have the world's straightest, flattest hair so I'm probably not a great Guinea pig!

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 10/06/2019 15:56

I’m going to give this a go tonight.

NannyRed · 10/06/2019 16:16

Knicker bun is an upgrade from the 5 sock curls I usually do. Yes, it involves 5 socks, but who has five odd socks? One pair of knickers is so much easier to lay hands on.
Tots trying this tonight.

Neilsfavouritechilli · 10/06/2019 18:13

It kind of worked for me but I think I may have let my hair get too dry. Plus the serum I used has made it look a bit lanky. Will try again tomorrow.
