how to: styling long hair short

I absolutely loved loved LOVED this tutorial from Elsie at A Beautiful Mess! I cut over eight inches off of my hair just over a year ago, regretted it a couple months later, & have been growing it out ever since. I seem to want long hair when it's short & short hair when it's long, & I'm sure many women can agree with this! But now you can enjoy the feel & look of short hair whenever you want to shake up your appearance (& without having to lob off your luscious locks!)

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!
