Hermione-inspired hair

Yes, you did read that right. Hermione. The truth is, recently I've been having a little bit of time off from doing... anything at all, really. Which has led to me watching Harry Potter films one after the other with a cup of tea and hobnobs for company.
As I sat contentedly with my Ravenclaw scarf wrapped round me (ahem), I came to realise how much I love Emma Watson's hair and how it's styled. So of course, I chose one particular style at random and had a stab at recreating it. 

To create this look, I pulled my hair roughly in a messy low bun-like gathering, leaving a small section of hair from just above my ear on either side down.  I then put a bobble around my hair and used bobby pins to secure any pieces that were sticking out too much or falling down. To create the loose fringe, I made sure the front part of my hair wasn't pulled too tightly then pulled it loose to what I was happy with.

I then separated the escaping bits of hair at the front into two sections on each side. They were both quite 'wispy' amounts, to make it look natural. Using my straighteners, I curled these pieces of hair until I was happy with the way they sat. I sprayed them lightly with hairspray, and also sprayed the bun to help it stay in place.

I took these photos after I'd had my hair up about 5-6 hours this way, so the curl has dropped but other than that I'm really happy with how this stayed in!

I'm always serching for new ways to style my hair, any suggestions? 

I hope you enjoyed this post :)
