To my saucy longer-haired readers, this is for you!
For the shorter-haired ladies... try variations of this, this or this ♥
Last week, The Beauty Department posted an amazing tutorial for a funky topsy tail bun.
First, let me just say, I'm a huge fan of the topsy tail.
Second, this style is so easy.
- Gather hair in a ponytail at the nape of your neck.
- Secure with an elastic band.
- Pull the elastic band to the bottom of your ponytail, leaving about 1-2 inches of hair at the end of the ponytail (or until your shorter layers don't start falling out).
- Separate the hair in the gap of the ponytail right down the middle into two pieces.
- Bring the ponytail up and through the gap, creating an upside-down topsy tail.
- Repeat, repeat, repeat... the hair will begin to twist into coils!
- Once it's all coiled into a bun, secure the end of the ponytail underneath the bun with bobby pins.
- If your shorter layers fall out (like mine did), let them hang loose or pin them back. I gently twisted mine back and pinned them underneath one of the bigger twists (top right photo).
- You can tug on some of the pieces to give it some body and hide the part in the back.
- You can also tug on the coils to make them look a little bigger and more full. I had to do this because my bun was so small at first!
- A visual learner? Want to see how it is done? Visit TBD!
but I actually prefer it a little more loose and casual-looking.
I think it's perfect for a day at the office or a nice wedding updo.
I'd love to see your version of it. Tweet me or Instagram a photo with the hashtag #topsytailtwist!

So pretty. Makes me wish for my long hair again
Oh my goodness, this brings back memories. Do they still make topsy-tails? I remember back in the 90's this being a big thing for awhile. I think I even had one, but I have no idea where it ended up. Lol. Your look is so cute!! Love it!
I'm definitely trying this next week! I love it! You're a doll!
It looks so cute on you. I'm definately going to try it out. I could use some new styles other than just plain and down. Love your glasses too!
So cute!!! I love it
Well, look at you and your uber cuteness!
Thanks for the tutorial, I never thought about inverting it more than once...but that is adorable!
Thanks for helping this pregnancy-brain-uber-tired mama find another cute way to throw her hair up!

Aw your so pretty
I meant You're...lol
love this look on you :)!
You're kidding me, this hairstyle is gorgeous and doesn't even seem hard! I actually read through those instructions and understood them! That never happens!! I can't wait to try it out, you are seriously the master of those non-styling styles that look amazing (could it be because you have a separate blog for them ;)
perfectly priya
I loved it on TBD and it looks gorgeous on you :)
I think I like your lose style better than the original :) Plus I didn't have much luck making mine look all sleek. So now I'll have to try it again!
