This style works best for me when my hair is slightly damp, and it has become a favorite post-washing updo.
You will need:Hair brush
About 5 hair pins
Optional hairsticks or clips for decoration
Brush your hair and part it down the middle or to the side.
Starting above one ear, roll you hair back.
Continue rolling until half of your hair is in the roll, ending at the base of your neck.
Hold the first roll (or get someone to help you) and begin rolling the second side.
Roll that side to the base of your neck.
Give each of the rolls a twist or two, but give the right one several extra twists.
Put the left roll over the right one and hold it in one hand. Brush your hair to smooth it out, if needed.
Twist all of your hair to the right (this is why the right one needs to have extra twists before it's counter-twisted).
Continue twisting as far as you can.
Fold the twisted hair back on itself and let it twist around itself one or twice (depending on the length of your hair) and coil the ends under.
Hold the twists firm while you put in the hairpins.
I usually use one pin at the top and two on each side.
Very pretty!
