Poppy Montgomery's hairdo

[sweetaj]

Anyone see Poppy Montgomery's hairdo in the pilot of Unforgettable - the scenes at the beginning when she goes to the casino. It was like some sort of low bun looking thing?? I don't know, but it was cute!

Anyone else see that who knows what it's called? Or how to do it?

My hair is not even at shoulder length yet, but cute hairdo's make me want to keep growing it out!

Thanks!

I can't really deconstruct it, but the clip is here for anyone else who wants to try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU2aUEKrZ6Y

I love her dress, too.

it looks almost like a beebutt bun? hmm, interesting show though! I will be adding this to my list of shows to watch!

Okay, I went and started watching the pilot. The clip BittSweetCherry posted shows very dim flashes of it. A little bit after the clip in the episode she fully turns her back to us in bright lighting. It looks like the bun was wrapped with the remaining length of hair after making a single loop.
So try making a low ponytail and start twisting the hair as if you are making a regular cinnamon bun. Do that only once so you get a loop. Pull that down and then wrap the rest of your hair flat around that loop and then tuck the ends up towards the top. Secure with a hair tie.

ETA: took some photos of my attempt:

Juneii - Thanks for trying that out! It looks great! I can't wait until I can do that with my hair - maybe within the next 3 years it'll be long enough :)
