Style #12: The Headband Tuck & Go

This is the first style I wanted to try when I cut my hair!  There's a gazillion tutorials out there, but they all say the same thing: "It's so simple, just tuck your hair into the band."  So I gave this "so simple" do a go.

As cute and sloppy as it looks in the photos, my hair was not having it.  Within 10 minutes it was sliding out.  So I tried again, this time with a half-up look.  I only did two twists on each side and I really like it and it seems to be staying for now.  

The one thing I learned was to use a tight elastic headband.  I have a few that I like because they are just tight enough to stay on, but don't give me a headache if I wear them all day.  Those don't work as they don't keep the hair in and slip right down the back of my head.  This one is from forever-21 and has a thick, tight elastic strap.
