next make a topsy tail

next take the tail of the topsy and bring it up and make slight little pocket. Insert beaks to hold in place

Next take the left over hair and gently twist to make a bun on top and insert a hair stick on either side and then insert one or two bobby pins or amish pins to secure the bun. And then gently slide the beaks out from under the bun and it should look like this

Thanks.

I did submit it to article and see what happens.

As for you hair did you try maybe having the topsy tail a little higher, rather an lower like i do on mine

[lil_irish_angel]

I'm definitely going to try this. I love styles that I can make with my TopsyTail. Thanks!

I just got my topsy tail a few months back and just love it, Hubby will not let me go to the grocery store by myself anymore cause the last time i came home with the topsy tail. Well and besides this one hasn't broken yet like the one from claire's I was so mad.

I hope it works for you, I'd love to see a pic of it

[Isilya]

That looks very classy!
Of course I had to try it myself and it worked on the first try :cheese:

Ah, so pretty, but my hair is nowhere near long enough! I can make the bottom loop, but I don't have any hair left over for the bun. It looks great!

TIA!

[TiffanieJean]

Very pretty! I need to try that. Is BS length too short?

[jacqueline101]

That is lovely. I done a ponytail like that once and liked it.

[Henrietta]

Yaay, thank you for sharing! I will try it someday :)

[Elph]

Looks good but if you do the topsy tail the other way you then don't have to worry about the beak clips and the length is supported. Just a suggestion

[einna]

Even more inspiration for growing my hair longer. Really pretty, and looks easy enough even for my limited updo skills.

[Raiscake]

Wow I can't wait to try this! :D

[Amazinggrace]

Beautiful style!! Thank you for sharing. :)

[lil_irish_angel]

Your gently pull them out.

Good idea.

[AZDesertRose]

How pretty! I wish I had enough length to do this, but I will definitely try it when I have more length. :)
