Headscarf with a twist!.. No pun intended

So I had to run into town really quickly to sort some stuff out today, and I was a bit fed up of doing the basic side-bun.

I remembered that I'm planning to do a puff but twisting the hair left out into a kind of.. nest-like style lol.. Then I wondered how it would look if I added that edge to the side-bun that I always seem to do with my headscarf. Because I'm so into this ultra-protection thing during this cold season, I always have a headscarf on. I've looked at some tutorials of different headscarf styles but only few really tickled my fancy. I've been getting bored of the same old style, so I'm wondering what else I can do with these head scarfs of mine..

Not sure how I feel about it. I'll probably do it again though!

I had a satin scarf on underneath. If you're in the south of England at the moment, you'll know how harsh these strong, cold winds are getting!

The camera angle didn't do it justice in the picture above. Looks a bit too bulky!

Next post should be the twisted puff hairstyle that I'm planning to do next Saturday, providing I can actually pull it together..

..But expect the unexpected I guess!

Hectic Interview Morning (with quick hair pics!)

GOSH!

10am I was supposed to have woken up. I slept through that very well!

I ended up waking up at 11am. My job interview was at 12pm. I had one hour to get up, get ready and get out! And amongst all this, even whilst in the shower I was thinking, "what am I going to do with my hair?!"

My hair was in chunky plaits at the time (as it always is. I do about 6 chunky plaits down the left side of my head, and the same on my right, and just cover it up with a headscarf. I'm promoting maximum protection during these cold times!) and I had no idea what I was going to do with it.

At first I thought, hmm.. I think I'll just take out these chunky plaits and do a puff. But I wasn't sure about that and I didn't have any more time to waste! Plus, I didn't really want to separate my hair even after undoing the plaits. It's already bad enough that I'm taking them out, the least I could do for protection purposes was to keep the strands bundled together.

After I took out my plaits, I quite liked the waves it left my hair with. I really wanted to work with it, but I didn't know what to do. So I just thought to myself, 'Rachel, be creative!! COME ON! You made a clock in the shape of a pair of boyshorts in year 8, there's no way you can't do this'. So I turned to my long, dark, slim trustee(s)...

BOBBY PINS!

Just stuck them wherever my impulses lead me!

Here is the spontaneous style I ended up with:

..These pictures were taken after I got back. I just didn't have ANY time to take them beforehand!

Nevertheless, I was pretty pleased. :)

(Oh, p.s, because I didn't fingercomb out the plaits, the separations at the roots stayed, as you can see. I found it really added to the style quite nicely. The plaits were in for about.. 3 days? And back in they shall go tonight!)

Watch this space!
