wooden hairpin from my friend Lena and it

even has my name on and it's a Chinese

year of the horse... hairpin :P and I do not know how to use it

so she's going to show me how to do a classic unique

hairdo that I've never done before

Step One: hold your hair in one portion and put it on one side of the hairpin

personally I like to put it on the left side of the hair

since I'm a right handed person and this is how

I'm going to make a knot.

Step Two:

Put your hair over the pin and turn the pin around until it's sideways and points to three o'clock

during this movement don't hold your hair too tight

or too loose

since we're about to push the pin through the hair.

Step Three:

turn the hairpin over and push through the hair underneath until it comes out

and perfectly stays inside the knot.

Now, you have a very unique and elegant hairstyle

which also only took thirty seconds to do

it's also very easy to take down—

just pull the hairpin out and your hair goes free.

Wow!

That seemed like it's so simple

but I will have to practice because

I can't see the back of my head

but I can't wait to try it

and I'm going to be able to have those exotic hairdos

just like the Chinese ladies!
