Casual Styles
May 1^st, 2003 at 4:22pm

When out of all possible ideas or I'm having an utterly terrible hair day, I usually go with the ponytail. For school I like to put half up with a barette or experiment with hairsticks. I do like looking for new ideas, casual and formal, so if anyone has any I'm sure we'd all like to hear them

especially since my 'dos usually fall out by the end of the day!

It shortens my waist length hair to a more typical ponytail length that does not interfere with my activities. I can tie my hair in a knot, put a hairstick in the knot to hold it in place, and let the remaining hair swing.

I'll use two 'cause I like the look, but I find it interesting that one would hold that style.

If I am going to be particularly active, I might stick two in. I also have some hairsticks that I just like to have the pair in at the same time (like my lollypop sticks). A hairfork also works very well in holding the knot in place.

Ooohooohoooh! I just came up with an idea! I wonder if I made another knot halfway down and stuck a fuzzy or pretty hairtie underneath if it would hold. Too kewl! Sort of the same effect as two scrunchies, but using my own hair! This would also serve to shorten my hip-length hair a good bit more. I gotta try this when I take my side braid out tonight.

I *love* the look of big hair knots, I just wish they would stay in when you tied them! They fall immediately out of my smooth hair :/

Is there a special trick? ( I selected the image options and put the URL in but all I see is the 'red x' in a box where the picture should be). Are there size limits? Are there any restrictions?

To tie the knot, your grab your hair into a ponytail at the location where you will want the knot. Start twisting your hair as when you are putting it into a bun. Twist the hair fairly tight. Make one round as for a bun, then pull the remaining hair up through the center of bun and tighten as best you can. Then put one or two hair sticks into the knot/bun to hold in place.

It was there before, I don't understand why it disappeared, unless you took it down.

I can't believe the knotted ponytail shortens your hair so much - it would be really helpful for school! I haven't tried this style yet, I'm waiting for my hair to get longer because I doubt it would work at the moment.
