Finally a little diy that I have been planning... I've tried two different versions but I guess it can be done many ways.. the diy side of my brain started running wild when I saw this last spring, thinking how I could recreate the simple look of a metal hair ring... after a few days it finally occurred to me to use napkin rings! I did some shopping at the kitchen department and found surprisingly many rings and gadgets to pass as hair accessories..

1. I straightened my hair in the morning and left it for a day to not have it too sleek. Then without brushing I pulled my hair to the side and twisted it to get the ring all the way up.


2. I used a tube formed cast, meant for baking.. by pulling my hair tight while twisting, I pushed the tube up

3. Then I adjusted the height, leaving it semi loose. My hair is thick enough to keep the tube put but it can also be done with first tying a thin hairband around your hair, then pulling the tube ontop of it

4. done!

I also had to try a more sleek version, as I came across this silver ring that is used around wine bottles to prevent the drops from running drown the bottle neck.. the padding on the inside is great to not cause damage to you precious locks.

1. tie your hair first, then like before work the ring up by twisting your hair and adjust to wanted height


2. wear it either as a high ponytail or more casually loose.

I bought some thinner napkin rings to maybe try stacking a few... some have an opeing which would be even easier, and then of course there's a million different kinds to choose from including some in forms of ducks..... but I'll leave that to the man repeller to cover.

Genius! It's also amazing that your hair is thick enough to hold the tubes up without any help! Regardless, I love this and am pinning it right now to try out when I get back home.

This is such a beautiful style - a combination of mod and bohemian. Sadly, not one that I can feature with my short hair.

oh, I love it sooooooooo much!! that long tube-thing was so awesome. where'd u get it? maybe they have it here too... was it expensive? I want one too! if you come across one u have to get one for me :D
Genialiskt!! Speciellt den där vinringsversionen måste jag bara testa, jag har inte riktigt tillräkligt långt hår för den där andra.
Det var jätteroligt att träffa dig på Flow (efter att länge ha läst din HÄRLIGA blogg) och fota dig med min kompis! (hon har bloggen Fager Dam på ratata.fi)
Ha en trevlig fortsättning på sommaren!

Mahtava idea!
Itsekin olen haikaillut oikeanlaisten rengastimien löytämistä, jotta saisin samantyyppisen lopputuloksen aikaan. Muuta ei ole tullut, kuin rautakauppa-sektorilla kierreltyä. Mistähän tuollaisia viinipullohärpäkkeitä saisi? Stockalta maybe?
Mahtava postaus!

Well I do have to say the metal in the hair is very modern and sleek and if I came across one in a boutique, I would try it out for sure!
I would definately try that out! Looks just amazing on your hair, so i hope that it will look that awesome on dark hair (maybe i could try to do it with gold colour). Thank you so much! : )
