Edgy and Crimped

This look was spotted on the models at the Venexiana Spring 2011 Show at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week but works great for this season too. For this quick style, follow the steps in the previous slide for a daytime ponytail, but bring a crimping iron to work with a few bobby pins for an edgy nighttime look.

To start, pull out a veil of hair from the ponytail along the front hairline ending around the top of your ear. Crimp that area, making sure to lightly mist each section with hairspray for hold. Wind the ponytail down the base and pin into place. Pull the pieces of the crimped hair back haphazardly and pin around the chignon (the messier, the better). Mist again with hairspray for extra hold.

These updos promise to last all night.
