My fabulous hair dresser, Mandi Adams, is a regular style contributor on our local television morning show, First Coast Living, and recently she did a news segment about how Beehives are making a fashion comeback.  She needed some hair models, and she knows I like me some big hair, so she asked me to model my long locks for her in a Beehive alternate style with a super huge big bun on the segment.  As much as a girly girl I am, I admit, when it comes to my hair, most days I’m too lazy to do anything with it, and most days, it gets thrown in a bun on top of my head. Here’s my hair modeling debut of my “Beehive toned down” style for her segment:

My trick for big buns?   Dirty hair.  The dirtier the hair, the better it works.  I normally only wash my hair a few times a week because it’s easier to style and get good height if it’s not squeaky shiny clean.  Here’s how I get my big buns:

1.  Throw it in a pony tail on top of your head at the highest point.

2.  Tease the heck out of the pony tail until it’s so messy you dread having to comb it out later.

3.  Gather and twist the rat’s nest, then loosely wrap it around the pony tail core.

4.  Bobby pin in place and throw Bedhead’s Hardhead Hairspray on it. Best. Hairspray. Ever.
