This afternoon I was bored and stuck home (it was snowing outside, and there was nowhere I could go), so I started playing with my hair. I wanted to practise some buns, and try to add some accents/visual appeal, without braid or hairtoys (my hair holds the braid-waves really well, so when I take out accent braid it looks really weird; and sadly I don't have many hairtoys... just one fork, two repurposed chopsticks, and some pins and elastics).
And then, this happened:

(that's the same, but looking up so you can better see how it looks, and not only my dying ends)

It's just a half-up topsie tail with the rest of the hair through and hanging loose, hiding the elastic. I pretended to bun my hair afterwards (that was the original purpose) but liked it a lot this way and left it. Now it's been several hours on my hair and still stays with no problems.
I thought it was a nice alternative to a simple pony, or half-up pony, and doesn't take much time (also, I'm sure it might look good if bunned afterwards, as it's just some variation of Neoma's trick to add a bit of lift to the crown), so I thought I'd share.
