Topsy Tail Messy Bun

I really liked my hair two Sundays ago and I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures of it.

I'm calling it the "Topsy Tail-Messy Bun"

Super easy, soft, and fun looking.

All you do is backcomb the front of your bangs or top section of your hair and also the sides above your ears to give your hair some lift.
Section the bang area into a ski-jump and pin with bobby pin. (I do this because my bangs are shorter and it also sections the hair more to give it more separation.)
The next step is to section another part of your hair off and put an elastic around it in the middle of your head, like a half ponytail.
Section the hair down the middle above the elastic and do your Topsy tail. Loosen the hair so it's not so tight to your head and it will cover your elastic.
Once you have it how you like it.....you come to the last section.
-The Messy Bun-
This is all up to you how you like doing your messy buns and how much hair you have.
I don't have a ton, so it makes it kinda nice, but its possible with lots of long hair.
Just put your hair in an elastic like a normal ponytail once again....but before you finish the last couple wraps of the elastic you wont bring all your hair completely through...you start making loops and a mess with your hair if that makes any sense.
After that you can use a couple Bobbi pins to secure and cover hair around elastics. 
Last thing....
I use a bit of hairspray to fix fly aways
 I also use a shine spray to finish it off.  
Anyway, just do what you want and like....this is just what I did and like how it turned out. It stayed in all day long really well. I got a lot of compliments on it too.
