Well first you need your hair piece. We found ours at a cheap Asian version of the Dollar Store called Quarter to Ten. I really think the hair pieces were actually meant to go into a weave, but hey they were $5.00 and did the job. Nicer beauty supply stores will have them as well.

It's a matter of preference on whether you get real or fake hair. The beauty of real hair is you can dye it.

HOW TO DO THE DO

Well start by putting as much of your hair into a pony tail as possible. Pin all the extra hair that won't reach up with bobby pins. From there use another rubber band to attach the hair piece onto your existing pony tail. So now you should have a huge long pony tail, which is a look in and of it's self so you could stop here.

But more is always better so why do that....

From here pin the hair up by grabbing various chunks and leaving it kind of messy for that tousled look. If you are into the sexy librarian thing you could always make the bun tight and slick, it's yo thang.

Keep pinning baby, I know it's a lot of hair.

Got it all pinned up there how ya want it? Good. Now the fun part. Decorate it. You have come this far, don't stop now. I chose Chopsticks and a drink umbrella on this particular occasion. My friend opted for fake flowers.

Warning: Watch out for drunk assholes with cigarettes if you opt for fake hair. The hair is not flame retardant, and there is nothing sexy about the smell of burnt plastic.

Obviously you want to get one that matches your hair color. Your up-do is really going to look fake if you are a brunette and have a giant blonde bun pinned on the top of your head.

Lastly, you need a mother load of bobby-pins and some rubber bands.
