sloppy top knot without a sock or doughnut

You can do the top knot in a couple of ways; one is to use a spongy doughnut another is the sock method and the third is what is most likely seen above, and that is the half pony tail on top of your head. All you need to do is flip your hair upside down and create a half ponytail on top of your head, secure it with an elastic and then use the reaming hair to wrap around the elastic, fasten with bob pins or hair pins!!

embellishments ala Jennifer Lawerence red carpet look

you can add any embellishment to your sleek or tousled hair, you can find such items at any craft store and secure with hairpins.

pony tail knot

Bring hair back into two sections, tie one knot, with the remaining hair tie another knot and wallah' knot ponytail, secure with hairpins if needed. You may also want to spray some sort of texture spray ( Goldwell spray wax works wonders) to add a bit of hold and texture.

temporary pastels

you can find many different products these days that give you the look of pastel tips, I really am drawn to the chalk based, they are easy to wash out and do nothing to harm the hair. You will only need the chalk or color dust and some sort of highlighting board or flat surface. Simply dust on the color or multiple colors at the tips and dunzo you have your pastel tips for the night!

Head Scarf

Use any old awesome scarf of your granny's, fold in half and secure behind the head; or you can tie a knot in the scarf, place the knot side on top of your hair and tie in the back and presto youre hip!

Wrapping Buns

This is one of my favorites! I love the whole top-knot, sock-knot or sloppy bun knot that is now ever so present, if you want to add some gizz to it, tie a scarf around it!
