Chopstick up do - easy like one, two...
Wed, 06/11/2008 - 14:12
This is one of my favourite hairdos! It's so easy and quick. It works great with mid-length hair as well as long hair and all you need is a pair of chopsticks or pencils.
5-minute up do "how tos":It really doesn't get any easier. Follow the instructions in the images, from left to right.
1. Get your hair in a low pony tail and twist it as if you were styling a chignon.
2. Once you have a nice twist going, pierce it from the top with one of the chopsticks. Try to go for the thickest part of the chignon.
3. Turn the chopstick 180'' or until you can't any more; chopstick should point upwards. The twist should get really tight at this point, so ignore the feeling of discomfort - it's totally worth it!
4.Now the toughest bit: turn the chopstick towards your head and down, piercing again through the chignon.
5. Now simply take the second chopstick and use it to pierce the bun, like in the bottom pictures.
VoilĂ ! your up do is ready!



Hi Hairfreak,
Thanks a lot for the up do instructions - I just tried it out and it really works! It took me even less than 5 minutes!
I'd like to read more about easy up dos and really like the idea of having a photo story!
Take care,
Lyse
