I'm happy to introduce one last new weekly feature for the new year! In addition to Project ReStyle and Makeover Story I will be sharing weekly fun and simple hair and makeup tips straight from the Red Velvet Studio! This new feature is called Red Velvet gets fancy!
Today's tip it all about using yarn (it works with thin pieces of lace too!) to create a pretty messy hairstyle. Just tie the yarn around your head like a headband, then weave long piece into a ponytail. Last, pin the loose ponytail up into a bun. It's that simple. Plus... good news, the messier you make this hairstyle, the cuter it looks!
This look was originally inspired by these gorgeous fashion photos. Emma is modeling the look and you can see more photos of her outfit from today on her blog.
So pretty! I love that idea! Afraid it'll get tangled in my hair though...:)

Ah I remember doing something similar to this!!! When I was little my mom used to always braid different color ribbons into my extremely long hair! (I used to sit on it).
Definetly going to try this! :)

This is so pretty! I've done it with a skinny scarf, but I love the yarn...you could change it up in so many ways! I think I'll braid a few different colored pieces together and try it out! :D

Amazing idea! I wish my hair was just a little bit longer so I could try this. Beautiful.
