Just lovely, as usual. I was admiring your hair in your Dress-Less post and I’m so pleased you’ve shown how to do it here – even if my hair is way too short to attempt it at the moment. I had to go to a wedding and in a panic attack of, “what am I going to do with my hair?” I cut my decent length, I can do quite a lot with this length hair, to above my shoulders. Aaargh! I’ll definitely keep it in mind for when it eventually grows.
Wow, thanks a lot! Having seen it before, but will definitely try it out! You should show more of your hairstyles 🙂 (You haven’t shown one in ages XD )
Gorgeous! As a clueless hair person- with the tuck and pin I don’t quite get it? Can someone explain it to me a bit more? Are you rolling it and pinning inside the roll??
I rolled the ponytail up, tucked the loose bits into the roll and pinned it. So basically made a loop of hair with the ends of the ponytail on the inside. Does that make sense?
You have some great hair ideas – would you tag them? I’ve just spent ages searching for the two I remembered (chignon and sunday braids) and I’m thinking now I might have missed some more!

Love it, I usually just twist and pin my hair but will be trying it this way for sure.
gorgeous and too easy!
That’s really pretty, Lilli! Thanks!!! 🙂 Edith
Yessss!! Love this! Thanks for posting.

Me too! Also: Teasing and hair straighteners.
