Sometimes you want to have a short hair day, but without the commitment of actually getting your hair cut! Here's a fun and cute way to style your long locks into a short bob do.

1. Divide your hair into two sections, from one ear to another. 

2. Pin up the top section, just to keep it out of the way. 

3. Pull the bottom section into a ponytail. 

4. Twist the pony tail into a small bun and pin flat against your head. 

5. Now unpin the top section, begin dividing it into small strands. 

6. Fold the strands in half and pin them up underneath, try your best to hide the bobby pins! 

7. Once you've pinned all the strands, carefully use a curling iron to flip the strands out just a little. This will make them look more natural. 

8. Add any accessories or pin any loose pieces and you're done!

Step 1: Cover a bath loofa in a solid fabric that matches your hair color.

Step 3: Add the loofa to your hair. Wherever you position the loofa will be where the bump sits. Cover the loofa with pieces of hair and pin each piece down. Continue to cover it from every direction until the loofa is completely hidden!

Step 4: Pull pieces from the sides of the hair back to cover the sides of the bump. This creates a beautiful shape.

Step 5: Choose to pull the back of the hair up or leave it down (a la Amy Whinehouse).

A few tips: If you have shorter hair use just the fabric (tied in a big knot/ball) and skip the loofa.

Try a lace hedband, daisy chain or style maiden braids in the front of your beehive. 

Practice makes perfect. 

Experiment to find out how much hairspray and teasing your hair needs.
